How to Increase Coverage in Foundation Cream
Question
How can I increase the coverage of my foundation cream? Could you recommend which ingredients to add to achieve higher coverage?
Answer
# Increasing Foundation Coverage
To increase the coverage of your foundation, you primarily need to increase the concentration of pigments in the formula. Pigments are the ingredients that provide color and opacity.
Common pigments used in foundations include iron oxides (yellow, red, black) and titanium dioxide (white). Increasing the amount of these pigments will directly lead to higher coverage.
Additionally, using a pigment dispersion system like ColorPerse™ A100 can help to effectively incorporate higher levels of pigments into the formula, ensuring a smooth and even distribution without clumping. This allows for achieving higher coverage while maintaining a good texture.
Some specialized pigments, such as the Color Changing Pigments (available in shades like White to Yellow, White to Red, White to Black, White to Beige No.2, and White to Beige No.3), can also be used in foundation formulations to provide color and coverage, along with unique visual effects.
