New generations of foundations: they nourish like a serum, cover like a concealer

Is there anything better than a foundation that sits on the face like silk, covers like a concealer, and nourishes the skin like a serum? I don’t think there is. Erasing the boundaries between skin care and skin decoration comes as a growing need. Especially for those busy mornings when we don’t manage to do the whole routine. The fusion of effective and nourishing ingredients with good coverage perfectly meets the needs of everyday life. Foundation with a silky texture that are enriched with skincare ingredients are a fast-growing category due to their exceptional effect, as they improve the appearance of the skin immediately and in the long term. While pigment covers imperfections, skincare ingredients nourish the skin to improve its appearance in the long term. I’m not saying that you should skip your morning routine thanks to the new generation of foundation that bring the power of serums, but if you can make it even more effective, you can. Hybrid pigmented products are excellent because they allow for a flawless complexion during and after wearing foundation.

Foundations for a flawless complexion

Infusions of pigments and nourishing ingredients bring powerful combinations. Thus, some foundations ensure longer hydration with hyaluronic acid, while others restore balance to the skin with fermented essences that restore the skin’s microbiome. For more mature skin, it is desirable to see foundations enriched with peptides that stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby reducing the visibility of wrinkles in the long term. Ingredients that will benefit everyone are various vitamins such as vitamin C or niacinamide to even out the complexion.

Completely new routines

It was only a matter of time before the trend of a strong emphasis on the preparation routine would spill over into the cosmetic routine. But this is not just another trend. Simplifying routines is a necessity today. Powerful products with which we can also target skin problems while covering imperfections are part of a daily routine focused on defense against polluted air and harmful external influences. In addition, the compound such a cosmetic compound is very practical.

Chanel No.1 Revitalizing foundation is intended for all skin types, but mature skin especially likes it. It leaves a radiant look, but blends extremely well with the skin texture. The foundation looks extremely natural, leaving a silky feel on the skin.

SKINCARE INGREDIENTS: Chanel’s foundation from the adored and recognizable red No.1 line is enriched with red camellia oil, which is full of antioxidants. The oil successfully revitalizes the skin and restores its radiant appearance.

These two botanical extracts can reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the long term.

Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance SPF50 Foundation is designed to look like skin, but better. The foundation gives the skin a wonderful velvety appearance with a slight shine. It is ideal for mature and dry skin.

SKINCARE INGREDIENTS: The foundation hydrates the skin extremely well thanks to the extract of snow mushroom and the addition of hyaluronic acid, and various antioxidants from plant essences are responsible for revitalization. Those who wake up very puffy in the morning will be glad to hear that the serum is enriched with caffeine. Caffeine accelerates circulation, which ultimately means that we will get rid of puffiness faster. However, what makes this foundation special is the addition of Argireline peptide, which is mistaken for botox in a bottle. Argireline, just like Botox, relaxes muscles with the aim of preventing wrinkles, and the high SPF50 factor serves as reinforcement in the prevention of wrinkles.
