Perfect Your Base Like a Pro
A long-lasting, flawless base doesn’t happen by accident—it’s all about prep, layering, and product pairing. As a clean beauty brand built for professional artists, Mirabella’s foundations are formulated to perform under pressure—whether it’s a long day on set, a full workday, or a night out.
Here, Mirabella artists share insider-approved steps for creating that just-applied look that lasts all day, using our three foundation icons: Defense CC Crème, Skin Tint Crème Foundation, and Invincible for All Anti-Aging HD Foundation.
Step 1: Start with Skin Prep
The secret to a smooth, long-wearing base starts before foundation ever touches your face. Cleanse, exfoliate lightly, and apply a lightweight moisturizer suited to your skin type.
Then, always prime.
-
For oily or textured skin: apply Prime For Face to smooth pores and control shine.
-
For dry or mature skin: use Awaken Primer to hydrate and create a radiant canvas.
-
For daytime wear or added protection: reach for Hydrate • Prime • Protect SPF 30 Makeup Primer — a multitasking formula that hydrates, primes, and shields skin from UV damage while helping foundation glide on evenly.
Artist Tip: Let your primer set for at least 30 seconds before applying foundation—this allows grip and ensures better product performance throughout the day.
Step 2: Choose the Right Foundation Formula
Selecting the right foundation formula is key to achieving your desired finish and longevity.
-
Defense CC Crème Foundation – Full coverage with a matte finish and SPF 20. Perfect for oily or combination skin and long days under bright lights.
-
Skin Tint Crème Foundation – Medium coverage with a natural, skin-like finish for hydrated radiance. Ideal for everyday wear.
-
Invincible for All Anti-Aging HD Foundation – Full coverage with a demi-matte satin finish and skincare-powered benefits that enhance the skin’s texture over time.
Each of Mirabella’s clean beauty foundations is cruelty-free, paraben-free, talc-free, and made with non-toxic ingredients, so you can achieve professional results without compromise.
Step 3: Layer Strategically
For a long-lasting foundation look, think in thin, even layers.
-
Apply foundation using a damp beauty sponge or a professional foundation brush for the smoothest finish.
-
Build coverage where needed—around the nose, chin, or any discoloration—rather than applying too much product all over.
-
Blend outward and downward for a seamless match with your natural skin tone.
Artist Tip: Use tapping motions to press the product into the skin rather than wiping—it helps lock pigment in place and prevents streaking.
Step 4: Lock It In
To keep your base intact all day (and night), finish with the right setting techniques:
-
Lightly press a translucent powder through the T-zone or areas prone to shine.
-
Mist with Bulletproof Matte Finishing Spray to seal your look and reduce transfer.
This combination gives a smooth, photo-ready finish that won’t budge, no matter how long your day lasts.
