How the Changing Foundation Works

One foundation. Infinite possibilities. Discover the innovative technology behind your perfect match and master the application technique that unlocks the full potential of adaptive colour.


The Innovation Behind Your Perfect Match

Imagine a foundation that adapts to you, not the other way around. That's the magic of our Changing Foundation.

Our formula uses innovative encapsulated pigment technology that transforms right before your eyes. It starts as a luxurious white cream and adapts to your unique skin tone as you blend it. The secret? Special toner particles that remain colorless until they meet your skin. When you apply the foundation, your skin's natural temperature and pH activate these particles, releasing pigments that blend seamlessly with your complexion—no shade guessing required.

What's Inside the Formula

The Changing Foundation isn't just about colour matching. It's formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients that care for your complexion as they perfect it:

  • Glycerin keeps your skin soft and supple

  • Hyaluronic Acid delivers deep hydration for that coveted youthful glow

  • Vitamin E nourishes and protects your skin's health

The result? A natural, dewy "your skin but better" finish with SPF 15 built-in for daily sun protection, and wear that lasts up to 16 hours.


How to Apply for Best Results

The key to unlocking the full potential of your Changing Foundation is in the application. We recommend using a brush—like our 2-in-1 Build & Conceal Brush—which helps the pigment particles work their magic by penetrating deeper into your skin and minimizing any white cast. Of course, you can also apply with your fingers or a beauty sponge if that's your preference.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

  1. Prep your skin with your favourite moisturizer or primer to create the perfect canvas

  2. Pump 3-4 times into your hand (this is enough for full face coverage)

  3. Apply from the centre of your face, blending outward in light motions

  4. Be patient—the adaptive pigments need a few moments to react with your skin's unique chemistry

  5. Build coverage as desired by adding layers to areas that need extra love

Remember: The foundation starts white and transforms to match your skin tone as you blend. Don't rush this process—the technology needs those few seconds to work its magic.


Why One Shade Works for Everyone

The Changing Foundation comes in one universal shade that adapts to your unique skin. No more confusion between "Ivory," "Porcelain," or "Beige." No more purchasing multiple shades for summer and winter. Your skin changes throughout the seasons due to sun exposure and natural variations—and your foundation changes with you.

This is inclusivity in action.


What to Expect: Coverage & Finish

Buildable Coverage

The Changing Foundation provides buildable coverage from light to medium. Start with a light application and add layers where you need extra coverage—perfect for contouring problem areas or evening out your complexion. The lightweight formula won't feel heavy on your skin, even with multiple layers.

The Dewy Finish

Expect a natural, luminous finish—the kind that looks like your skin, just better. The moisturizing formula keeps your complexion looking fresh and radiant without that heavy, mask-like appearance. It's the perfect base for a natural makeup look or a canvas for bolder makeup art.

Long-Lasting Wear

With up to 16 hours of wear, your Changing Foundation stays put throughout your day—whether you're conquering the boardroom or dancing the night away. The formula won't clog pores, so your skin can breathe while looking polished.
