Text supplied by the brand: Colorescience.

Colorescience Natural Finish pressed mineral foundation evens out the complexion with a light, hydrating veil while protecting skin with SPF 20. Its medium to full coverage builds layer by layer and reveals smoother, more radiant skin with a natural finish. Its mineral filters, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, provide broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

The Medium Sand shade, the deepest of the medium range, suits medium to tan skin tones with golden or bronze undertones. The powder goes on with a brush or sponge over moisturized skin, so light you forget you are wearing it, and layers over other Colorescience sunscreens.

A botanical extract complex helps form a non-irritating moisture barrier on the skin’s surface; antioxidant carrot seed oil nourishes; vitamin E helps the skin defend itself against free radicals. Water resistant for 80 minutes, the powder is vegan and free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates; each compact holds 12 g.

Directions

Directions from Colorescience

  1. On moisturized skin, apply the powder with a brush or sponge; for layered coverage, use it over another Colorescience sunscreen.
  2. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  3. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours.

Precautions: for children under 6 months, ask a doctor. For external use only. Keep out of eyes; rinse with water to remove. If any adverse reaction occurs, stop using the product and inform your doctor if your condition persists; stop use and ask a doctor if rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Centre right away. Sun protection measures: spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin ageing. To decrease this risk, regularly use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures: limit time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses.
