Birchbox Breakdown
On the spectrum between bare skin and full-on foundation, we like to err on the natural side of things. That’s why we’re huge fans of Pür Minerals’s brand new mineral-based tint, which works simultaneously as a moisturizer, primer, sheer foundation, and SPF 20. The creamy formula smooths over all kinds of flaws—from stubborn lines to blotchy redness—with color-corrective pigments. At the same time, it plumps up skin with proven moisturizers and offers broad spectrum sun protection. The lightweight texture makes us forget we’re wearing any makeup at all.
How it Works
Titanium and zinc dioxides form the cornerstones of this sheer mineral formula. These physical sunblocks deflect harmful UV rays before they ever reach your skin. Other ingredients include moisturizing shea butter, antioxidant-rich vitamin E, hydrating sodium hyaluronate, and Pür Minerals’s innovative Ceretin Complex to stimulate skin renewal. Light works best on fair complexions, while Medium is great for those whose skin tones fall between fair and tan.
How to Use
In the mornings, smooth on a thin layer all over your face. Apply another layer for additional coverage if you wish.
