Add to Favorites
WHAT IT IS
An ultra-luxurious, weightless foundation infused with skincare ingredients to blur imperfections and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a radiant finish.
WHAT IT DOES
Instantly blurs and camouflages for an even-toned, radiant finish that lasts up to 24 hours. The luxuriously rich yet lightweight cream melts on contact with skin to moisturize, plump, and protect, while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and promoting firmness. The finish is sheer, buildable, and exquisitely radiant. SPF 22 protects against harmful UV rays.
- Light-Empowering Enhancer enhances foundation’s radiant finish by moisturizing and smoothing skin’s surface to allow optimal light diffusion.
- Precious Lakesis Complex with Chai Hu Extract improves the appearance of firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Key Ingredients
Luxury foundation like The Foundation SPF 22 can deliver real anti-aging benefits on its own, not just from a serum or cream underneath. Its skincare-infused formula is shown to improve softness, hydration, and firmness after 4 weeks*, with 72% of women seeing less visible fine lines and 84% feeling their skin looked more beautiful in the same timeframe**. That said, a foundation is still typically layered with, not a substitute for, a dedicated anti-aging serum or cream as part of a full routine. *Clinically tested by 33 women. **Clinically tested by 108 women.
Use the brand's online shade finder tool, compare the shade against a similar foundation you already own, and check customer review photos showing the shade on skin tones similar to yours before purchasing.
Skincare-infused luxury foundations are formulated to feel like a treatment on skin, producing a comfortable, second-skin finish rather than a heavy, mask-like feel, with the exact finish (matte, dewy, or natural) varying by formula.
Choose a natural finish for everyday wear and combination-to-oily skin, and a radiant finish for drier skin or an added glow; both finishes can be sheered out or built up depending on desired coverage.
SPF 22 offers moderate daily protection against UVB rays. Dermatologists generally recommend SPF 30 or higher, applied generously, as the primary defense, with a foundation's SPF serving as a supplement to a dedicated sunscreen underneath.
