Full-Coverage Foundation for a Natural Look

Foundation is the makeup product that most significantly impacts the overall appearance of the face and the quality of our skin. As the field of makeup evolves, our expectations of foundation grow, requiring it to include skincare and sun protection benefits.

The beauty brand Jade introduces: REVITALITY HYDRATING RADIANT FOUNDATION SPF 50. This hydrating foundation offers a radiant look with skincare benefits: it’s rich in moisture, contributes to a glowing, healthy, and refreshed complexion, and protects the skin from sun damage. It suits normal to dry skin.

The foundation contains hyaluronic acid, which provides immediate and natural hydration, along with active ingredients that rejuvenate the skin, improve elasticity, and revitalize dull, lifeless skin. Another natural active ingredient, extracted from premium Italian wine grapes, helps detoxify cells, hydrate the skin, and reduce fine lines.

REVITALITY foundation is available in five shades, and you can mix them to achieve the perfect tone for your face and body. It can be used on both face and body to cover skin imperfections, scars, tattoos, sunspots, and more. It allows for medium to full coverage and provides a natural look.
