Free from talc, bismuth, or drying fillers, a little goes a long way for a radiant, healthy complexion. Sustainably packaged, this is ethical beauty that loves your skin and the planet.
Understanding SPF in Adorn Mineral Foundations
Adorn Cosmetics’ natural mineral foundations are Australian-approved SPF 20+, offering broad-spectrum UVA and UVB Protection. SPF measures how well a product absorbs or blocks UVB rays. For example, properly applied SPF 30 sunscreen allows you to stay in the sun 30 times longer than without protection while receiving the same level of sunburn.
In Australia, cosmetics are regulated by NICNAS. Adorn’s loose mineral foundation’s primary function is coverage, with sun protection as a secondary benefit. Adorn’s foundations are certified broad-spectrum, meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
If sun protection is your main concern, use a primary sunscreen such as Adorn SPF50+ Mineral Face Sunscreen. Always follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat, and eyewear when exposed to the sun. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Reapply regularly.
For more details, contact NICNAS or TGA.
Step 1. Your liquid foundation is packaged in an airless bottle and may require continuous pumping initially to dispense product.
Start with a clean well-moisturised face. For dry skin, apply a nourishing Adorn Cosmetics face oil over your moisturiser to help minimise the appearance of flaky skin.
Step 2. Depending on the coverage you require you can use our vegan Kabuki Brush, Stippling Brush, or a damp Biodegradable Face Blender.
For a Dewy Finish
You have two options:
a) Rosewater Face Mist: Lightly spritz rosewater over your face after applying the foundation. The rosewater adds moisture giving your skin a fresh, dewy glow.
b) Face Oil: For extra hydration and glow, apply a face oil over your moisturiser. This will give the skin a luminous finish.
How to achieve a matte foundation finish
Step 1. Prepping the Skin: Start with a clean and moisturised face.
Step 2. Apply Loose Mineral Foundation: Using our vegan kabuki brush or complexion brush, apply the loose mineral foundation to your skin.
Step 3. Creating a matte finish
You have two options:
a) Setting Powder for Oily Skin: For oily skin, dust a thin layer of setting powder over the foundation. The Adorn Cosmetic setting powder helps to control oil and keeps your makeup in place throughout the day.
b) HD Miracle Blur Setting Powder for Imperfections: If you have large pores or lines, opt for the HD Miracle Blur Setting powder. This powder blurs the appearance of fine lines and pores, giving your skin a smooth, airbrushed look.
How to Apply Adorn Cosmetics Liquid Mineral Foundation
Step 1. Prep the skin: Start with a freshly cleansed and moisturised face.
Step 2. Start applying our mineral foundation from the center of your face, gradually working your way outward to ensure even coverage. Our liquid foundation is best used over water based moisturisers and primers. If your foundation goes bally you may need to wait a little longer in between applying your moisturiser and foundation.
Step 3. Blending into the neck: To avoid a visible line of demarcation between your face and neck, gently blend the foundation down onto your neck using light strokes.
Step 4 (Optional). Mattify: If you have oily skin or live in a humid climate you can set the Adorn Cosmetics' Liquid Mineral Foundation down with our Oil-Control Setting Powder. Use a soft, fluffy brush to lightly dust the powder over your face.
Dry Skin? Spritz our rosewater face mist over your foundation.
Shade Selection: Find your personal mineral foundation shade by applying a small amount along your jaw line in the cooler months, and décolletage/chest in the warmer months; if it blends and there are no obvious lines, then it's a perfect match.
