natural foundation

It’s called ‘foundation’ for a reason: it’s the base of your makeup look, the canvas on which you’ll paint your makeup masterpiece. So, it is important to know how to pick the right foundation.

100% PURE™ has 8 different foundation formulas to suit any natural makeup look – from tinted moisturizers to full coverage foundations. Powder foundations to cream foundations to BB cream – the gang’s all here!

SKIN TYPE
No matter your skin type, there’s a natural foundation to make your natural beauty shine. Normal, oily, combination, or dry skin types can all find their perfect match!

COVERAGE
Our foundation range starts at barely-there sheer coverage and scales up to light coverage, medium coverage, and full coverage.

FINISH
Do you prefer a specific foundation finish? Choose from dewy, satin, or matte with a few finishes in between.

INGREDIENTS
Foundation is one of the beauty products we wear all day. That’s why we leave out artificial fragrances, chemical preservatives, talc, aluminum, and the many other unhealthy toxins found in common foundations. 100% PURE™ uses antioxidant-rich pigments of cocoa, peaches, goji berries, and other nutrient-dense plant or mineral pigments.

All of our natural foundations are gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. Check out the 100% PURE foundation guide and swatches below to find your perfect match!

How to Apply:
Use a kabuki brush for full, dense coverage. Use a powder brush for lighter coverage, or to set and mattify any liquid or cream foundation.

This is a great foundation for those that need an extra boost of moisture, or have dry skin that hates the feel of powder or matte finishes. Formula colored from fruit, vegetable, and seed pigments for antioxidant defense.

How to Apply:
Apply with a damp makeup blender for a flawless airbrushed finish. Pat the damp beauty sponge into the cream foundation and pressed onto skin in a dabbing motion, until desired coverage is achieved. We find that with this particularly creamy formula, dabbing works better than swiping across the skin.

2nd Skin Foundations Swatch

This foundation is aptly named for its ultra light and barely-there feeling on skin. Our serum foundation contains olive squalane, which is similar to the skin's own natural oils. This natural foundation’s formula helps to plump skin to diminish appearance of fine lines, and contains the skin-nourishing vitamins and antioxidants found in fruit and vegetable pigments.

How to Apply:
Olive squalane acts as a primer, so no additional primer is needed. This ultra thin formula is dispensed through a pipette: we recommend dispensing a few drops onto the back of your hand, then dabbing onto face with preferred brush, makeup blender, or fingers. Add drops and blend as needed to achieve desired coverage.

Skin Type: Normal to Dry

Coverage: Medium to Full

Finish: Dewy

Shade Range: 3

Shades:

Shade 10 Luminous: Light skin with yellow undertones

Shade 20 Aglow: Medium skin with yellow undertones

BB Cream Swatch

Great for flakey or dry skin, our creamy and nourishing BB Cream will not accentuate fine lines or wrinkles. It helps to cover lines, scars, and offer a dewy finish. Lavender oil refreshes skin and purifies pores, while superfine mineral mica gives your complexion a dewy, luminous finish.

How to Apply:
This formula is thick, but still easily blendable; apply with kabuki brush or fingers. For those that light radiance in some areas and matte in others, you can apply a foundation powder or our setting powder over shine-prone areas.

This foundation is great for controlling shine, excess oil, covering dark circles or hyperpigmentation, and delivering a healthy matte finish that won’t dry out your skin.
