Face Makeup

A complete face base usually involves five products: a moisturiser-primer like Embryolisse 24Hr Miracle Cream, a foundation that matches your skin tone and finish preference, concealer for under the eyes and around blemishes, contour and blush for shape, and a setting powder to lock everything in. Our Face Makeup category covers all five, including the Elementwo Airbrush Canvas Blend Foundation in 8 shades, the MODELROCK x KRYSTALK Creamy Matte Concealer, the CHISEL-SCULPT-SHADE 6-Shade Face Palette and the Airbrush Flawless Finish HD Powder. You can build a full routine without leaving the category.

Build your base from light, hydrating products on the skin toward setting products on top. Start with moisturiser, then your primer (Embryolisse works as both). Apply foundation evenly across the face — try Elementwo Canvas Blend in your matched shade. Layer concealer where you need extra coverage: under the eyes, around the nose and over blemishes. Add cream contour first, since cream layers over cream blend best — try the MODELROCK x KRYSTALK Cream Contour Stick. Finish with setting powder, like Airbrush Flawless Finish HD Powder, applied lightly. Powder contour and blush always go on top of the powder, not under it.

Swatch three shades down the side of your jaw in natural daylight — the one that disappears into your skin is your match. Your undertone is just as important as depth. Pink or red veins on the wrist suggest a cool undertone, yellow or olive suggest warm, and a mix is neutral. The Elementwo Canvas Blend Foundation range spans CBF-01 Ivory through CBF-08 Desert Sand, with neutral and warm options across the range. For concealer, choose one shade lighter than your foundation for under the eyes, and one that matches exactly for blemishes. The MODELROCK x KRYSTALK Creamy Matte Concealer comes in six shades.

Cakiness usually comes from too much product or skipping hydration; oxidation comes from foundation reacting with skin oils. Start with well-hydrated skin — Embryolisse 24Hr Miracle Cream gives foundation a smooth canvas to grip. Apply foundation in thin layers and build only where you need coverage, rather than coating the whole face heavily. Set the T-zone with a light dusting of Airbrush Flawless Finish HD Powder, leaving the cheeks slightly dewy. To minimise oxidation, choose a foundation half a shade lighter than your skin if it's a formula that's run dark on you before, and always set with powder.

Cream products — like the MODELROCK x KRYSTALK Cream Contour Stick — sit on the skin as a flexible layer and give a more skin-like, dewy finish. They suit dry, mature and normal skin, and they blend seamlessly into foundation when applied while the foundation is still fresh. Powder products set and mattify, and are ideal for oily skin, hot climates or long wear. The rule of thumb is creams under powders, never the reverse. Many wearers layer both for the most dimensional, long-lasting finish.
