Incredibly silky foundation, concealer, and tinted-moisturizer-maker in one / 0.6 oz
Manasi7 Skin Enhancer is one of those “where has this been all my life?” products that changed the way we think about foundation. This creamy, super flexible product can be used as a foundation, as a spot concealer, or (the clincher) mixed with your favorite face oil — and thus turned into a tinted moisturizer with buildable coverage and real staying power.
Here’s the other great thing: the Skin Enhancer only comes in four shades. Creator Susanne Manasi Persson suggests getting two colors and blending them as needed, which makes it easy to create a custom, perfect-fit shade that you can darken or lighten depending on the season, since even the slightest tan (or lack thereof) can throw off a foundation shade. This also makes it much less scary to buy online, since you’ll be custom-blending your own shade. Still, we suggest using our Custom Sample Service to be sure you're starting with the right colors — it will also give you a sense of how much product to use with each application, since otherwise you may end up using too much. This is very highly pigmented stuff.
Some shade and application guidance:
Most skin tones will start with either Sarcoline (fair/light) or Beechwood (medium/dark) and mix it with Eburnean (to lighten it up) or Jamocha (to deepen it). Very deep skin tones can start with Jamocha and lighten it up with Eburnean.
Once you get the perfect shade, use it as a spot concealer or sheer it out with your favorite face oil or balm for a beautiful, natural, perfect-skin glow. The silky formula naturally dries to a fairly matte finish, so adding in an oil or balm just makes it glowy — never greasy. Check out our application tips below. Once you get the hang of it, it’s actually very fun to use this product, even for those who don’t consider themselves “makeup people.”
This product is just so jaw-droppingly good. So good. And it's even better after the Spring 2022 update, which removed talc from the formula — so every single product on our shelves is talc-free.
How to Use
Add a little bit of your favorite face oil or balm to the color you’ve created and use it as a foundation — the more face oil or balm you add, the sheerer it gets. You can also apply the product with a wet sponge to sheer it out. As a spot concealer, use it as is, dabbing it on and blending with fingers or a brush.
