1. Start with well-hydrated skin. Apply a moisturiser or primer first and let it absorb.
2. Remove the lid of the jar and gently tap to release some powder onto the built-in puff.
3. Apply the powder in circular motions over your face. Begin in the centre and work outwards.
4. Build coverage by applying a second layer to areas you want to cover more, like redness or uneven spots.
5. Set your look or refresh it later with an extra layer on the T-zone.

If you want your foundation to last longer, the 3 in 1 Make-up Fixing Spray locks your makeup, keeps colour from shifting, and freshens your skin throughout the day.

Your skin breathes freely and shines less quickly. That’s because the formula centres on mineral particles that absorb sebum without clogging pores. Zinc oxide plays a key role: it helps keep your skin matte while offering daytime UV protection. Mica creates a smooth, soft look that minimises pores. No perfume, silicones or mineral oil. The result is cared-for skin without feeling like you’re wearing a mask. Check the full range of Artdeco for more products to pair with this foundation.

Yes. The formula is dermatologically tested and free from perfume, silicones, parabens and mineral oil. These are exactly the ingredients that often cause reactions in sensitive skin. The Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation is specially developed for people who react easily to foundation.

One note: the formula contains bismuth oxychloride, which may cause mild itching in a small number of users, especially in warm weather. If you have very sensitive skin or rosacea, test the product first on a small patch.

Soft Ivory is the lightest shade and suited for very fair skin. Natural Beige has a cool undertone and fits light to slightly deeper skin with pink tones. Light Beige is neutral and works for most Western European skin tones. Honey has a warm, golden undertone and suits slightly deeper or tanned skin.

Unsure? Start with Light Beige. This shade matches most neutral skin tones and is easy to blend. Many users find that Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation shades run slightly lighter than expected, so go a shade darker if in doubt.

Not when applied thinly on well-hydrated skin. Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation gives a natural finish that looks like your own skin, only smoother. Users describe the result as "skin, but better".

Do you have dry or mature skin with fine lines? Use a good moisturiser underneath. A thin layer of powder works best then. The Skin Perfecting Make-up Base Primer is a good base: it evens the surface and prevents powder settling in lines or dry patches.

Both are loose mineral powders, but with clear differences. BareMinerals states a fixed SPF value, useful if you know how much sun protection you need. Artdeco Powder Foundation also contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide but without an exact SPF rating. If you use Artdeco as your daily base and wear sunscreen in summer, the SPF rating matters less.

BareMinerals offers slightly more Glow; Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation is Matteer and stronger at controlling shine. If you have oily or combination skin and want to reduce shine all day, Artdeco is the better choice. If your skin is normal to dry and you prefer a more radiant finish, BareMinerals may suit better. Is Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation suitable for sensitive skin? Yes, and it scores even better than many competitors here: no perfume, no silicones, no parabens.
