Glo Skin Beauty Pressed Base - Chestnut Light

A mineral powder foundation that evens out your skin without looking like you're wearing anything at all. You can build the coverage yourself, from light to full.

Why it works

For many, powder foundation has a bad reputation: dry, cakey, and visible in fine lines after a few hours. That is rarely the fault of the powder itself and almost always due to how finely it is milled. The minerals and mica in this base are triple-milled, allowing them to sit on top of your skin rather than settling into it. You get a soft, semi-matte finish that diffuses light, without a white cast in photos.

It also contains skincare ingredients: vitamins C and E as antioxidants, and green tea extract to keep the skin calm. Talc-free. The texture feels weightless, and after half an hour, you won't even notice it's there.

For whom

For all skin types, including sensitive skin and skin that has just undergone a treatment. It works particularly well on combination or oily skin and on skin that gets irritated easily: it contains no oil, and you can safely apply it over a breakout.

It also works perfectly for drier skin. In that case, the preparation makes the difference: ensure your skincare has fully absorbed before you start.

How to use it

First, apply your serum, cream, and potentially a primer, and give them time to absorb. Then, using a kabuki brush or a sponge, press the powder into your skin with short, dabbing motions instead of wiping. Wiping moves the product; pressing keeps it in place. Start in the center of your face and work outward. If you want more coverage in a specific area, apply a second thin layer instead of applying it thickly right away.

About this shade

Chestnut Light is the lighter of the two chestnut shades. That family leans in a warm, chestnut-brown direction.

What I would like to share with you

The mistake I see most often is not the foundation, but the shade selection. Test your color on your jawline, in daylight, and not on the back of your hand. Your hand is rarely the same color as your face and will almost always lead you to a shade that is too dark. If you are debating between two, choose the lighter one. You can always blend a shade that is too light with bronzer, but a shade that is too dark will remain visible on your jawline all day.

And one more thing: most people use too much. A thin layer where you need it is more beautiful than an even mask over your entire face. Your skin should be allowed to look like skin.
