Unlock the full potential of your skincare and makeup routine with Adorn’s best-selling SPF 20 Refillable Pure Mineral Foundation. This lightweight mineral foundation not only provides buildable coverage but also offers broad-spectrum SPF protection, making it the perfect daily essential.
However, to achieve a flawless, long-lasting finish, proper skin preparation is key—especially for mature skin, oily skin, and dry skin. Here’s how to optimise your makeup routine for seamless mineral foundation application and a radiant, youthful glow.
How to Prep Your Skin for Mineral Foundation
Hydration Tips for Oily Skin:
If you have oily or combination skin, choose an oil-free, water-based moisturiser before applying your SPF foundation like our Hydration+ Day Primer Moisturiser. This keeps your skin hydrated without adding excess oil, preventing makeup from separating throughout the day.
Prepping Dry or Mature Skin:
For dry or mature skin, hydration is essential for a smooth makeup base. Facial oils and rich moisturisers work wonders in replenishing lost moisture and preventing foundation from settling into fine lines. A few drops of rosehip to your day cream can enhance your skin’s glow while ensuring a flawless foundation application.
How to Minimise Deep Wrinkles with Foundation
Deep wrinkles can be tricky, but the right skincare prep makes all the difference.
- If you have oily skin with deep wrinkles, a lightweight, hydrating primer helps create a smooth base without clogging pores.
- If you have dry, mature skin, opt for intensive hydration to soften and plump the skin, ensuring that your mineral foundation applies evenly and doesn’t settle into lines.
Best Skincare Products for a Smooth Base
For the ultimate makeup prep, try these Adorn must-haves:
- Adorn Hydration+ Skin Primer Day Moisturiser – A water-based, multitasking primer that balances oil levels while deeply hydrating the skin. Ideal for all skin types, including mature skin.
- Adorn Anti-Oxidant Day Protect Face Oil – Perfect for dehydrated or sensitive skin, this lightweight face oil hydrates without clogging pores and helps protect against environmental stressors.
How to Apply Mineral Foundation for a Flawless Finish
Even if you have dry or mature skin, you can achieve a natural, dewy look with mineral foundation by mixing a drop or two of face oil to your primer/moisturiser before application.
Use a flat-top Vegan Foundation Kabuki Brush for the best results:
- For light everyday coverage, buff the powder in circular motions.
- For fuller coverage, press and build the foundation in layers using a stippling technique.
Adorn’s pure mineral foundation is formulated without synthetic additives, making it:
- Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
- Water-resistant for all-day wear
- Silicone-free and oil-free, ensuring a breathable, weightless feel
Unlike some mineral foundations, which often contain talc, kaolin, or itchy Bismuth Oxychlorode, our porous premium mineral pigments allow sweat to pass through, preventing makeup from breaking down or looking cakey.
Finding Your Perfect Foundation Shade
Choosing the right shade of SPF foundation is essential for a natural look.
