Question
I would like to inquire about making a clear base that provides a dewy, glowing skin finish with fine shimmer but does not make the face oily.
I am a person with combination skin, slightly small pores, and I am 25 years old.
Answer
Recommended Ingredients for a Clear, Non-Oily, Glowing Base
To create a clear base that provides a dewy, glowing finish with fine shimmer without making the skin oily, suitable for your combination skin, you can consider the following key ingredients:
- Clear and Lightweight Base: Use a silicone gel that provides a soft, smooth feel, is easy to spread, and is non-sticky, such as Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky). This is an ultra-clear silicone gel that helps the product spread easily, feels light on the skin, and gives the skin a soft, matte-glow look.
- Fine Shimmer: Choose mica with small particle sizes to achieve a fine shimmer rather than large glitter flakes. For example, Silver Pearl Mica (Size A, 15 Micron) is a fine mica powder that provides a subtle silver pearl shimmer, adding natural radiance without being overly sparkly. It's suitable for use in makeup bases to give the skin an ethereal glow.
- Moisturizer without Oiliness: Add a humectant that helps retain moisture in the skin without feeling sticky or adding oiliness, such as MOIST24. This is a humectant that helps maintain skin moisture throughout the day and also improves the texture of the product, giving it a nice sheen and helping it absorb into the skin faster.
Combining these ingredients will help you achieve a clear base with the properties you desire: a dewy glow with fine shimmer from the mica, a lightweight, non-oily feel from the silicone gel, and added hydration from MOIST24.
