Glo Skin Beauty Pressed Base - Natural Dark

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

Powder foundation has a bad reputation for many people: 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 instead of 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 recently undergone a treatment. It works particularly well for combination or oily skin and for skin that is prone to breakouts: it contains no oil, and you can safely apply it over a blemish.

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

How to use it

Apply your serum, moisturizer, and primer if using, and give them time to absorb. Then, using a kabuki brush or a sponge, press the powder into your skin using short, stippling motions rather than sweeping. Sweeping moves the product around, pressing sets it in place. Start in the center of your face and work outwards. If you want more coverage in certain areas, apply a second thin layer instead of starting with a thick application.

About this shade

Natural Dark is the deepest shade within the natural family. This family is the neutral line in this range: not distinctly warm and not distinctly cool.

A final tip

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 almost always leads you to a shade that is too dark. If you are debating between two, choose the lighter one. A shade that is too light can be corrected with bronzer, but a shade that is too dark will remain visible along your jawline all day.

And another thing: most people use too much. A thin layer where you need it is more beautiful than an even mask over your entire face. Let your skin remain skin.
