The Foundation With Skincare Benefits.

Long gone are foundations that just cover up imperfections because people are wanting multitasking products that they can apply quickly to offer more than just one benefit. Foundation formulations now offer more than just colour pigments to match your skin tone, they feature antioxidants and humectants (just to name a few) for easy skincare benefits with just one application. The Emani HydraWear 12hr Liquid Foundation is the prime example of this by using only all-natural ingredients to benefit problematic, sensitive, acne-prone, and ageing skin.

The Emani liquid foundation is presented in a grooved bottle design with a pump applicator to dispense the desired amount you wish to use whilst also having a 24 month expiry date after opening. Shaking the bottle before application will ensure the formulation of the product will have the desired effect when dispensed and you will experience the maximum benefits. Emani does have two skincare meets makeup primers that i have previously blogged about and if you wish to read more about these, the links are Emani Miracle 7 In 1 Primer Serum and the Emani Perfect 10 Primer Serum that u can apply before any makeup application. The vegan friendly and gluten free foundation features a host of beneficial ingredients and these are as follows:
Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil. Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-20, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Mica, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Sodium Hyaluronate,

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Helianthus Annuus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract,

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil. Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Oil. Tocopherol,

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Acetate. Sodium Hydroxide. Lecithin, Squalane, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin. 

May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) and Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)

Applying to the face after your sunscreen or the product after this which would be your primer, you want to apply a few dots in the centre of your face and blend out evenly using your fingers, beauty blender, or a brush. The foundation does present itself as thick in texture but does glide over the skin easily when buffing and blending out to dry-down quite quickly. I was surprised on how lightweight it feels on the skin whilst providing a light-to-medium buildable coverage with a dewy finish that hydrates throughout its wear. Creating a moisture barrier on the skin it helps to shield from any pollutants and free radicals that can lead to damage and is the perfect foundation with skincare benefits for dry, mature, and even sensitive skin types! Available in 7 shades, i am using 212 Fairly Light which colour matches any porcelain skin tone quite well for a natural looking coverage with a healthier glow.
