Illuminare, Moisturizing Mineral Foundation - 0.5 oz

Best foundation formula. I mix mine with natural mineral sunscreen so it blends into my skin well & the formula is beautiful & natural looking on my skin. My husband sometimes can’t even tell I’m wearing anything. I like the thickness & spreadability better when I mix it with my sunscreen. I’ve mixed it with oil free derma e & tizo sunscreen, but have found the juice beauty oil free one just blends a lot better & doesn’t break me out like the derma e did. It’s almost like you’re making your own B.B. cream. I have super sensitive acne prone skin, and bc this foundation has so few ingredients, this is the only brand that doesn’t break me out. Yay!!After I apply that mixture I’ll go back in and dab the foundation by itself on a spot, using my finger or qtip, if I have a blemish that week. Works wonders as a concealer and foundation. I am a customer for life!! I hope they always carry this on amazon. I’ve noticed the tubes I buy online tend to be more fresh than the ones I’ve bought at my local beauty supply store, so for that reason I’ll stick with amazon.

This is the best foundation that I’ve ever used and looks completely natural while maintaining moisture. I work hard to care for my skin so I don’t want to completely cover it; although you can certainly build this product to do so. It took a bit to figure out how to best apply as I originally mixed with my SPF as Jeana at Art of Skincare recommends. That seemed to blend the coverage away. Tried fingers on top of SPF and nope. I find that squeezing a tiny amount onto a pallet, spreading it around the pallet with my finger, and then using a beauty blender to dab the product onto the skin works best. I apply over the new Kosas Dream Beam SPF and my skin looks beautiful and dewy. The natural coverage seriously lasts all day. I do get minimal creasing under my eyes (I’m 46) but I think that’s more so from the SPF. I hope they never stop making this product! Once you find the right way to use it, it’s magical. If it helps, I do my usual skincare routine…wash, Vitamin C/serums, mist with the Curel Moisturizing Spray, apply a layer or two of Curel Moisturizing Milk, apply my SPF, and then apply the Illumanaire.

The tube looks impossibly small, but you need only the tiniest amount. I just turned 75 and people still comment on my skin all the time. The moisturizing version has a beautiful finish, slightly dewy, and lasts at least 24 hours (Don’t ask!!). It is a mineral formula, with SPF20, non-irritating to my very sensitive eyes. I use Florentine Fair, which the company says is the shade most used, and sometimes it looks a bit dark when first applied, but soon blends in. I also use their extra coverage version under my eyes in the same shade, and it hides the increasing purple under my eyes, and lasts equally long. The blushes are coordinated to the foundation shades, and are subtle and natural looking. I really can’t recommend this highly enough and have kicked myself soon after every time I’ve strayed. When will I learn??

I found this product from a tiktok showing how to cover acne. Got the shade sienna sun and it blended into the skin nicely (I have normal to oily skin). It does dry up a bit fast when blending with hands so will try to apply in section of the face instead of the whole face at once. It feels very natural and not like I’m wearing heavy makeup, which is helpful for every day makeup!At first I wasn’t first if it had the coverage I wanted because it didn’t feel like other foundations, but this before and after definitely shows the difference!!Products used for face base: Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Water Powder Serum, Illuminare Foundation, Kosas Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Powder (cushiony)

This makeup was recommended by my friend who is an aesthetician due to my allergies and sensitive skin. It is concentrated so I mis it with a little moisturizer and it is really light but has great coverage. It is a little pricey but one tube will last me more than a year and because it is mineral foundation it does not go bad. I’m over 40 and every time I wear this makeup I get so many compliments on my “glowing” skin. I live in Florida so I also love that has spf to protect your skin from sun damage. Such a great product!

I used to wear full coverage.. and I have super combo oily acne prone skin (yay me, lol). I’ve always hated the way foundation feels. It slides off my face, even the littlest looks like a lot. I tried bb creams and they never worked.. I will say I use a couple dots of this and a couple dots of erborian, Omg perfection for my skin and so light. I won’t ever use anything else. I’m white but tan easily, and this color mixed with Claire from erborian makes the perfect match for my skin. I’m also very neutral toned. This doesn’t break me out, and gives awesome coverage. I just tap a little more on to cover acne.

I love this product. It keeps my skin from the damaging Florida sun. It stays in place but not drying causing more wrinkles. I had stopped using it and got sun marks on my face even with sunscreen. Back to using this product to keep my skin protected. It is sheer almost looks like I do not have any on my face. When I go to wash my face at night I see the product so I know it stayed on all day long. I will continue to use this product. Illuminare is a quality product.

This broke me out bad on my cheeks and near eyebrow. Loved the foundation itself though but didn’t work for me
