Skintuition SPF 30 Radiance-Boosting Liquid Foundation

A liquid foundation built on zinc

Skintuition is jane iredale's liquid foundation, and its base is zinc oxide: the gentlest of the mineral sunscreens, giving SPF 30 and a good share of the coverage at once. Around it sit hyaluronic acid and a sugar-derived hydration complex, jojoba and sunflower oils, apple extract and vitamin E, so the skin underneath is moisturised rather than dried by a long day of wear.

The finish

Medium coverage that builds, with a naturally radiant finish rather than matte or dewy extremes. Non-comedogenic, sensitivity tested and water-resistant for up to 40 minutes.

SPF 30 is a real layer

Higher than most makeup carries, and enough to count as meaningful backup. Still, for a day outdoors, a dedicated SPF 50 underneath remains the rule.

The fit

The liquid option for people who want more coverage than Dream Tint or HydroPure without moving to powder. PurePressed Base remains the choice for oily skin and the fullest coverage.

All skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone, thanks to the zinc base and non-comedogenic testing; anyone who prefers a liquid to a powder; and skin that wants medium coverage with a radiant, not flat, finish.

Worth knowing

Two shades here: 28 Light, light with neutral undertones, and 30 Light Medium, light medium with warm peach undertones. Fragrance-free, vegan, wheat-free. Applies best with a dense liquid foundation brush or fingers; shake before use, as zinc formulas can settle.

Mornings, after serum and sunscreen have set. Shake well, dot a small amount over the face and blend outward with a liquid foundation brush or fingertips. Build a second layer where more coverage is wanted.

Set with D2O or Pommisst Hydration Spray, or with PurePressed Base through the T-zone for a longer-wearing, more matte centre.

Use alongside

Over Advanced Day Total Protect or Ultra Facial Defense SPF50+, and over Smooth Affair primer for longer wear. Set with Pommisst or D2O. Remove at night with a cleansing oil before your usual cleanser.
