DESCRIPTION Le Pure Perfecting Illumination is the world’s first organic foundation containing only organic plant oils and extracts, clays, and natural minerals. Together with the nutrient-dense plant ingredients, the natural minerals protect the skin against free radicals, UV, and blue light, enabling the foundation to act as a potent anti-ageing treatment. Thanks to the truly organic formulation of Perfecting Illumination, the skin is not burdened by an artificial layer but is able to breathe freely. This is why the foundation feels so light on the skin. This unique makeup cream adapts to any skin type and color, as well as to the different sebum compositions (skin’ natural oils) of each person, creating a personalized shade upon application. It takes 2-3 minutes for the foundation to adjust to the specific skin, revealing the final, unique color. Conventional makeup creams on the market contain either synthetic substances or, in the case of organic makeup, chemically modified fats. These ingredients are not recognized as natural by the skin and remain on the surface, suffocating the skin and making the foundation look heavy and unnatural. HOW TO USE Before each application, vigorously shake the bottle; this action dynamises the formulation and augments the efficacy of the ingredients. The first time you open a new bottle of Perfecting Illumination Upon opening a new bottle of Perfecting Illumination, the initial 3-4 pumps may be quite liquid. This is entirely normal because the ingredients within the pump tube don’t mix, even if the bottle is shaken. After this initial use, simply shake the bottle before each application to achieve the product’s typical creamy texture. If the cream appears non-uniform or the ingredients seem separated, we advise shaking vigorously to restore the organic emulsion. A minor texture variation isn’t a cause for concern; the beneficial plant nutrients remain intact. How to Apply Perfecting Illumination on your Face Apply 2-3 pumps using your fingertips or a brush. You can build the coverage as desired by adjusting the amount applied. The colour you see at first is not the final shade, as it will adapt to your skin within minutes. There are many ways to use Perfecting Illumination. Here are some ideas and tips: Highlighter: Apply a small amount of Perfecting Illumination Shade 1 – Ivory with your fingers or a makeup brush to highlight cheekbones, forehead, around the eyes, and the bridge of the nose. How to darken or lighten a shade: In the summer, you might favor a darker shade, while a lighter hue could be preferable in winter. To lighten a shade, combine 1-2 doses of a LE PURE cream with Perfecting Illumination. To achieve a darker shade, add a drop of the bronzing tint Infinite Glow to the lighter makeup colour. Under-eye concealer: Utilise shades like Ivory or Light, or choose a shade lighter than your standard Perfecting Illumination colour as an under-eye concealer. TRIED AND TESTED Le Pure is without a doubt one of the most extraordinarily beautiful product ranges for the skin that I have come across. And when it comes to makeup, I personally prefer those products to have just as 'healthy' and 'skin loving' ingredients as our skin care. After all, it's still going on my skin, so why compromise on makeup with questionable ingredients when I don't with my skincare?! And so .. that is how I came across Le Pure perfecting illumination. To say this liquid foundation looks natural is an understatement. It's virtually impossible to look like you're wearing makeup when applying this product. It glides on effortlessly. It doesn't leave streaks or exacerbate fine lines like some makeup does. It gives a beautiful glow to the skin, and that little bottle lasted me 3 months use with daily application as you only need 2 little pumps for the whole face. What it's not, is a thick foundation, so if you like your makeup caked on to look like a mask, then choose another brand. This liquid foundation is silky smooth and not a thick coverage. It's more of a light coverage, or medium coverage with a second application. Personally I ABSO-FREAKING love it!! And it's now my daily essential to smooth out uneven skin tone, whilst ensuring I still look like myself.
