Foundation Formula Selection

Experiment! Try mixing formulas and colors. Illuminaré liquid mineral makeup is different from traditional, nonmineral makeup. You don't need to use as much makeup (only a pea-sized amount). You will see your skin look radiant and healthy. Illuminaré out performs any makeup you've ever tried before, and best of all, it's recommended by dermatologists,  so you know it's good for your skin! Less makeup, better coverage.

We omit all oils, dyes, fragrances, plant extracts, artificial dyes, animal derivatives, carmine, mica, bismuth oxychloride, and talc from our foundations, blushes, and eye colors.
