Mineral Foundation Powder — Medium — Sericite Mica & Zinc Oxide Loose Powder Foundation
Using only pure, refined minerals, Mineral Foundation Powder in the Medium shade provides the same silky, lightweight, breathable coverage as the rest of the range — sericite mica and zinc oxide offering natural sun protection, with sericite mica’s light-reflecting properties reducing the appearance of pores and wrinkles for a soft matte coverage, delicately scented with pure organic rose otto.
What a Mineral Foundation Powder — Medium Provides Sun-Protective Coverage
Sericite mica works by reflecting light evenly across the skin’s surface — a soft-focus optical effect that reduces the visual prominence of pores and fine lines without the heaviness of conventional powder foundations. Zinc oxide, present alongside the mica, provides natural mineral sun protection by sitting on the skin’s surface as a physical barrier rather than being absorbed.
For medium skin tones, mineral powders sometimes face a particular challenge: too little pigment leaves skin looking washed out, while too much can create an unnatural matte cast that doesn’t move with the skin’s natural undertones throughout the day. This formula is calibrated specifically for medium-toned skin, aiming for the silky, breathable coverage the loose-mineral format is known for, without extreme. Certified organic rose otto essential oil provides a refined, subtle scent.
Ideal For
- Medium skin tones wanting buildable, breathable powder coverage
- Anyone wanting natural mineral sun protection built into their foundation
- Skin that feels suffocated by liquid or cream foundation formulas
- Touch-ups throughout the day without disrupting existing makeup
- Pairing with Honey Translucent Foundation and Concealer (Medium) for a full medium-skin base routine
The Application Method Note — Brush vs Sponge for Different Coverage
Brush application gives sheerer, lighter coverage — ideal for daily wear or setting other products. Sponge application packs more product into the skin’s texture for heavier coverage on days when it’s needed. The same loose powder works both ways, which is part of the appeal of mineral foundation over fixed-formula liquid bases — one product adapts to different coverage needs depending on the application method.
To set makeup for longer wear, a few pumps of Rose Monsoon Hydrating Mist after application helps the mineral powder settle into the skin rather than sitting on top with a powdery cast. Apply after moisturizing for the most even, natural-looking result. Store below 30°C / 86°F and use within 6 months from opening.
How to Use
For light coverage, use a brush to apply over moisturized skin. For heavier coverage, use a sponge to apply over moisturized skin. To set your makeup, spray a few pumps of Rose Monsoon Hydrating Mist. Use after moisturizing.
