SATIN MATTE FOUNDATION
Satin Matte Foundation is made with 4 pure, finely milled, hypoallergenic minerals that are blended to make 45 shades of smooth matte coverage. It delivers buildable coverage that hugs your skin and stays fresh all day, builds evenly in sheer layers for smooth, comfortable coverage that looks like your skin at its very best, and evens skin tone while it minimises pores and smoothes the skin.
So, about those 4 amazing ingredients that can do so many amazing things together… What are they, and how do they make for such effective, soothing coverage for all skin types?
Mica Cosmetic-grade mica is one of Alima Pure's most frequently used mineral ingredients. Both lustrous and shimmering forms of mica are used in Highlighter, Radiant Finishing Powders, eyeshadows, and more. Opacifying matte forms of mica are used in many of their matte products for the face, cheeks, and eyes – especially Satin Matte Foundation. Mica gives a soft, silky texture to the loose powder that allows it to blend easily and soothe the skin.
Iron Oxides Iron oxides are derived from purified, oxidised iron and used as mineral colorants. Alima Pure use a red, yellow, and black iron oxides in Satin Matte Foundation to achieve a robust range of 45 diverse shades and 5 undertones.
Zinc Oxide Zinc oxide is a white mineral colorant that is found in nature as zincite. It soothes and nourishes the skin with anti-microbial and healing properties. Like opacifying mica, zinc oxide also helps to put the matte in Satin Matte Foundation, giving it a weightless coverage that minimises pores and fine lines. Alima Pure also use zinc oxide in their Balancing Primer Powder and Concealer to help you achieve fuller coverage.
Titanium Dioxide Titanium dioxide is the naturally-occurring dioxide of Titanium that Alima Pure use as a white colorant and opacifying agent, which emboldens every shade for richly-pigmented formulas. It also has a high refractive index, which helps protect your skin from UV rays. Both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can act as physical sunblock, but since Satin Matte Foundation is applied in such sheer layers, we always recommend using additional sun protection under your makeup to care for your skin.

FIND YOUR UNDERTONE
Cool: Our Cool range has the broadest range of depth with foundation shades for the fairest skin tones and deepest skin tones. Our Cool shades match well with slightly pink undertones.
Neutral: Our Neutral shades suit those with cool peach undertones. Our Neutral range is slightly more yellow than Cool shades, but still falls on the cooler end of the spectrum when compared to Beige or Warm.
Beige: Beige range works with most neutral peach undertones. It’s slightly warmer than our Neutral range, but not quite as golden-toned as our Warm range. If Olive shades are close, but not quite right, you will find a match with Beige.
Warm: Our Warm shades of Satin Matte Foundation flatter those with a subtle yellow undertones. If you find that foundation shades sometimes appear pink on your skin, our Warm range will be the match for you.
Olive: If you try Neutral shades or Beige shades and find that they aren't quite right, Olive may be the match for you. Our Olive line usually suits those with neutral brown undertones. Please note that Olive shades run deeper than other undertones.
