Swatch - glo Pressed Base Foundation

Att välja rätt foundationnyans är inte det lättaste, att dessutom göra det online med enbart “animerade” bilder på nyanserna förenklar inte saken.

About a week ago, I received a request in a comment from someone who asked if I could show swatch pictures of the foundation Pressed Base Foundation from the mineral brand glo Skin Beauty, and I have had plans for it for a very long time but have not gotten shot, but now I have done it! :)

Pressed Base Foundation is a mineral foundation in pressed form that comes in a nice, matte box with magnetic closure and mirror in the lid. Very nice packaging (note the brand has recently changed its packaging so our warehouse is currently mixed with new and old packaging).

Tips on how to choose the right shade over the internet!
Start by looking at the swatch images and select some shades that you think might fit.

2. Read the descriptions of these shades and see which one fits best in how you would describe your skin tone. For example. if you choose between the Golden series and the Natural series, you can read about what suits you best from the outside if you are more yellow or more neutral.

3. Var medveten om att bilderna kan variera beroende på vilken skärm du kollar på, min MAC-dator har inte alls samma färginställningar som min gamla Samsung-mobil. Så jämför nyanserna med varandra t.ex. “den är varmare och ljusare än den” i kombination med hur nyanserna beskrivs i text.

4. Velar du mellan två nyanser så välj hellre en som känns som “rätt kategori” än rätt mörk/ljushetsläge. Om du t.ex. är en Golden medium och råkar köpa en Golden light så är det oftast ingen katastrof för när man applicerat concealer, contouring, rouge m.m så smälter den in bra ändå för skillnaden är ganska liten. Om du däremot väljer en nyans ur Beige-serien så kommer skillnaden mot din egen hudton bli mycket större, även om nyansen varken är för ljus eller för mörk.

Nyanserna är uppdelade i olika serier beroende på din underton, Natural, Golden, Beige, Honey, Chestnut, Tawny och Cocoa. Dessa “kategorier” av färger innehåller flera nyanser med olika mörkhetslägen från Fair till Dark.

Natural series
Three shades, fair, light and medium. Suitable for you with neutral skin tone with peach to yellow undertones.

I vår butik finns även den fjärde nyansen “dark” men vi har valt att inte sälja den i webshopen då den är väldigt ovanlig att den oftast är ett felköp. Men önskas den online så går det bra att maila oss så hjälper vi vill till med det.

Golden series
Three shades, light, medium and dark. Suitable for you with a warm skin tone with yellow to olive undertones.

Beige series
Three shades light, medium and dark. Suitable for you with a cold skin tone with a peach undertone.

10 most common shades:
Light skin tone: Natural fair, Natural light, Golden light

Medium skin tone: Honey medium, Tawny light
Medium to dark skin tone: Cocoa light, Cocoa medium.

Other things to think about regarding the new choice of Pressed Base Foundation:
The coverage is buildable and if you apply a thin layer, the shade adapts a bit to your natural skin tone underneath. If, on the other hand, you apply a comprehensive result, it is more important to find a perfectly suitable shade.

The neck is usually lighter than the face / décolleté. This is how you match your foundation with the neck but is darker on the décolleté so the whole main part can look too light. Do not forget to check the shade on the décolleté and rather put make-up on the neck so that the color blends together if there is a big difference.

Beige medium, Beige dark and Natural medium are quite unusual (but occur of course!) Because if you are darker than Beige light and Natural light, most of them go a little in the warmer direction. I write this only because it can be helpful if you are unsure, do you choose between e.g. Beige medium and Golden dark so the odds are statistically greater that Golden dark will fit better.

In this picture I have the shade Honey Fair. My skin tone is light but with a little tan left after the sun holiday.
