Who Will Love It

Anyone looking for mineral makeup with long-lasting, medium coverage. This foundation is acne-safe and is great for sensitive skin as well. For lighter coverage with a dewy finish, try mixing this formula with the Moisturizing formula.

Recommended Use

Illuminare formulas are very unique and have a much higher pigment-concentration level than other non-mineral foundations. It’s important to use them properly for optimum results. Begin with a clean face, and always prep the skin with a moisturizer or makeup primer. We recommend TIZO 3 Facial Primer Tinted SPF 40. Beginners often like to mix this foundation with their moisturizer for the quickest and easiest application.

Only a pea-sized amount is needed for full application. Can be applied with fingers or a foundation brush for more controlled coverage or an “airbrushed” look. Pat onto the center of the face and blend outward, working in one area at a time, adding more product as necessary.

Note: While zinc oxide is known to protect from UV rays, this is manufactured as a cosmetic product only and is not SPF rated.

Studio Tip:

"These foundations apply best immediately after applying moisturizer or primer. I like to mix equal parts of TIZO 3 Facial Primer Tinted SPF 40 with my Illuminare foundation. I then apply this with my fingers. For those areas, like the nose, where I need a bit of extra coverage, I use a tiny bit on a brush and add an extra layer." ~ Jeana

We recommend blending formulas to achieve your desired coverage. When mixing formulas or colors together, simply squeeze a pea-sized amount of each onto a foundation brush, and they will automatically blend together nicely. Or, mix on the back of your hand.
