It’s what you’ve all been waiting for, our brand-new Lasting Perfection Foundation is finally here.
So, what goes into making our Lasting Perfection Foundation? We sat down with our very own Senior Beauty Product Technologist, Kieren Thompson to get the (Green) tea…we see you Matte foundation.
Hi Kieren! So how do you create a foundation? What are the key ingredients that have gone into Lasting Perfection?
We knew our customers wanted not only a lightweight finish, but they also wanted amazing coverage and long lasting wear. With that in mind, we looked at our ingredient library, then decided what ingredients we can choose to make that happen. We used a combination of emollients and humectants to give that amazing skin-like feeling. For our Satin foundation, we carefully picked high refractive index emollients (fancy way of saying shiny) to give that GLOW! And, for our matte foundation we created a special formula to help diffract the light, giving a matte finish without being drying. We wanted to boost our foundations with skin loving ingredients- so for the Matte foundation we added Niacinamide and Green tea extract as well as Sunscreen filters to give SPF 30 protection. In the Satin foundation, we have Collagen boosting peptides and the hydration queen, hyaluronic acid- think of it as a tall glass of water for the skin.
Does foundation have skincare benefits?
Well, ours certainly does! The satin foundation contains a wonderful ingredient called Acetyl hexapeptide-8 which helps boost collagen levels in the skin, giving a healthy glow from within. We also have the hydration powerhouse hyaluronic acid, which locks water to the skin helping to give a plumped look.
Our new matte foundation contains the skin care powerhouse Niacinamide (or pro-vitamin B3). This has a whole raft of skin care benefits, from helping to regulate sebum production in the skin to even skin tone. Additionally, our matte foundation follows suit of our OG Lasting Perfection in that it has SPF 30- now I would always recommend to still use this over the top of your normal SPF routine not instead, however propping that up with your foundation is not a bad thing. Sunscreen filters are super beneficial are the GOAT for anti-ageing benefits.
