Foundation N°8
A foundation with a peptide in it — hexapeptide-11, the same one that sits in our Peptide Anti-Aging Serum. Aloe leaf juice opens the ingredient list, not water.
Semi-matte and buildable: one layer evens out, two cover. Kaolin and rice starch keep it there without the flat, powdered look that comes with most long-wear formulas.
N°8, deep with a neutral undertone. 30 ml. 99% natural origin, Ecocert COSMOS Natural. Made in the European Union.

What it does. And how.
Most long-wear foundations buy their staying power from silicones and film formers, and you feel it by the afternoon.
This one uses clay and rice starch for the finish and keeps aloe, hyaluronic acid and a peptide underneath — so what sits on your face for twelve hours is closer to skincare with pigment in it than to a coating.
Semi-matte, buildable, and made to survive the light it is named after.
Simple steps. Real results.
On moisturised skin, and give your moisturiser a minute first — foundation on a wet face slides.
Two or three small dots in the centre of the face, blended outward towards the hairline and jaw. Fingers warm it and give the most natural finish; a sponge gives lighter cover, a brush gives more.
Build in thin layers. One layer evens out, two cover — one thick layer does neither and settles into lines.
Concealer goes on after, only where you need it. Foundation everywhere and concealer nowhere is what makes a face look flat.
Honest answers.
Which shade is N°8?+
Deep skin with a balanced undertone — the middle of the three deep shades. If yours leans golden or red, take N°9 Deep Warm; if it leans blue or plum, N°10 Deep Cool.
How do I know if I am warm or cool?+
Look at the inside of your wrist in daylight. Veins that look green mean a warm undertone; blue or purple means cool. If you cannot tell, you are neutral — and the neutral shades are the ones to take.
How do I test the shade?+
On your jaw, not on your hand or your wrist — those are rarely the same colour as your face. Blend a stripe and look at it in daylight by a window. The right shade disappears.
Is it vegan?+
No. This one contains beeswax, which is what holds the formula together and keeps it on the skin. Our lipsticks and the Wide Awake concealer are vegan; this foundation is not, and we would rather say so than leave the word off quietly.
Does it contain fragrance?+
Yes. Parfum, with bergamot, lemon and orange peel oil, and five allergens declared at the end of the list. If you react to fragrance, take the Wide Awake concealer instead — that one has none at all.
Can I wear it under sun protection?+
Yes, and you should — SPF goes on first, over your moisturiser and under the foundation. There is no sun protection in this formula.
How long does 30 ml last?+
Daily use, around four to six months. Once opened, use within the period shown by the open-jar symbol.
