SAFE BEAUTY INGREDIENT ALERT
Like many other safe and effective ingredients, silicones and their derivatives have been unfairly misrepresented as harmful to the skin. In reality, they pose no risk and do not contribute to irritation or skin concerns. Learn more about silicones and their proven safety in our Safe Beauty section.
SAFE BEAUTY SPF ALERT
There’s no SPF in Ultra Foundation or any FACE atelier products because it simply doesn’t work. Only products specifically formulated and approved as sunscreens provide reliable protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Even if SPF in makeup were effective, several factors limit its performance:
1. Makeup is applied in thin layers that would make it unable to deliver even limited SPF protection.
2. Blending can create uneven coverage, leaving some areas exposed.
3. Sunscreen must be reapplied every two hours - typically only only lip products are reapplied frequently.
To be safe, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and apply it exactly as directed. Learn more about SPF in our Safe Beauty section. -

**SAFE BEAUTY INGREDIENT ALERT**
Like many safe and effective ingredients, silicones and its derivatives have been unfairly misrepresented as harmful to the skin. In truth, they pose no risk and do not contribute to skin irritation or congestion. Learn more about silicones in our Safe Beauty section.
**KEY INGREDIENTS**
**Silicone 411**
**Silicones** are safe, synthetic ingredients widely used in skincare and cosmetics for their smoothing, protective, and emollient properties. Common forms include dimethicone, cyclomethicone, and phenyl trimethicone. They create a lightweight, breathable barrier on the skin that locks in moisture while allowing it to “breathe.” Silicones enhance texture and spreadability, helping products glide on effortlessly for a smooth, even finish. Prized for their ability to leave skin soft and silky without clogging pores or causing irritation, they play a key role in creating the luxurious feel and flawless application of many modern formulations.
Silicones provide exceptional emolliency while enhancing a product’s longevity and performance. They ensure the even distribution of other ingredients, leaving a silky, weightless finish that refines the skin’s texture and appearance. By creating a soft, smooth touch, silicones make products more comfortable and pleasurable to apply. In particular, cyclomethicone imparts a uniquely light and luxurious skin feel.
Silicones are naturally water-resistant and help control shine by absorbing excess sebum—the oil produced by the skin. Their larger molecular structure prevents them from settling into pores, ensuring a smooth, even application. The unique architecture of silicone molecules—large with wider spacing—creates a breathable, protective barrier that shields the skin while still allowing it to “breathe.” In addition to their protective qualities, silicones also support skin healing, making them valuable in both skincare and makeup formulations. Learn more about silicones in our Safe Beauty section.
**Cyclopentasiloxane** is a lightweight, fast-evaporating silicone that enhances the spreadability of a formula without leaving a heavy residue. It forms a breathable, protective film that allows the skin to “breathe” while helping distribute other key ingredients evenly. Its unique fluidity imparts a silky, smooth texture and a soft-focus finish by filling in fine lines and imperfections. Cyclopentasiloxane also provides mild water resistance, helping skin appear smoother and more refined.
**Glycerin** is a naturally occurring compound found in the outermost layer of the skin, where it acts as a replenishing and restoring agent. Present in all natural lipids, it’s often synthesized for use in skincare and cosmetic formulations. A powerful humectant, glycerin draws moisture into the skin’s surface from deeper layers and the surrounding air, helping to maintain optimal hydration and a healthy, supple appearance. It’s especially effective when paired with other hydrating and emollient ingredients - such as dimethicone and sodium hyaluronate - that amplify its moisturizing benefits. -
**HOW TO USE IT** 1. SHAKE AND PUMP - Shake the bottle well to ensure the shade remains even and consistent. Then pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or preferably a makeup palette. Less is more - you can always add more product for increased coverage. 2. LOAD THE BRUSH - Lightly dip the white tops of the Duo Fibre Stipple Foundation Brush into the product to ensure even loading and controlled application. For a flat paddle foundation brush, dip the flat side of the brush into the product, coating the bristles without oversaturating them. 3. DAB AND BLEND - Begin by stippling, or dabbing dots of foundation all over your face. Then blend with a brush gentle using tapping or buffing motions. Don't swipe or creates streaks and uneven application. 4. WORK OUTWARDS - Blend the foundation from the center of your face towards the outer edges. 5. BUILD COVERAGE - For areas needing more coverage, reapply a small amount of additional foundation to layer the product. Ultra Foundation’s extended drying time allows for seamless blending - essential when your building coverage. 6. BLEND INTO NECK AND EARS - To avoid a harsh line, blend a sheer amount onto your jawline, neck ears for a seamless finish. 7. EYE PREP - Using a small, flat brush, apply a sheer layer to the eyelid to even the skin tone as well as create grip eyeshadow when applied. That means it adhere better and last longer. Plus, you've saved money by skipping an extra product you don't really need. **SKIN PREP** Clean and properly moisturized skin is the foundation for a flawless look. Be careful not to over-moisturize, as even dry skin can only absorb so much. After applying moisturizer, wait a few minutes and gently wipe away any excess before starting your makeup. Too much moisturizer can prevent the foundation from properly gripping the skin. **TO PRIME OR NOT TO PRIME** Key ingredients like Silicone and Glycerin in the formula ensure that the foundation also acts as a primer. These ingredients help fill in pores, smooth fine lines, and improve the skin's texture, creating an ideal base for makeup. The foundation's formula enhances the wear time of makeup, preventing slipping, fading, or creasing throughout the day. Additionally, Ultra Foundation is resistant to moisture, heat, and oil, making it a reliable option for long-lasting, flawless coverage. **HOW TO FIND YOUR SHADE** We offer affordable samples so you can test a shade before committing to a full-size product. It’s the perfect way to find your ideal match with confidence - no guesswork, no waste and economical. **SPF AND FLASHBACK** SPF in makeup can cause a white flash in photos due to light-reflective ingredients—most commonly titanium dioxide and zinc oxide—found in many sunscreens. These minerals reflect intense camera flashes, creating a white cast or “flashback” effect on the skin. The higher the SPF or the greater the concentration of these reflective ingredients, the more noticeable the flashback becomes. **BRIDAL ALERT** Ultra Foundation’s long-lasting finish keeps every bride camera-ready and picture-perfect from “I do” to the last dance. Its oil, heat, and moisture-resistant formula performs flawlessly in hot, humid conditions and even stands up to tears. It’s no wonder Ultra Foundation is celebrated as one of the best foundations for brides of all ages and skin tones. The Hollywood Reporter named it one of the best red-carpet foundations, while Allure praised it as a top choice for mature skin—making it perfect for everyone in the wedding party.
