What is IIID Foundation?

Compared to traditional foundation, iiiD Foundation is designed to reduce the amount of time and product needed to achieve the look you are desiring. Instead of using separate products for concealing, highlighting, contouring, and adding radiance, iiiD Foundation combines all of these steps into one simple process. Say goodbye to layering product after product. When you apply the specific colors where they are designed to be used, you will not only save time but also create a skin-like finish.

By simplifying the makeup routine, iiiD Foundation allows you to focus on the things that matter most to you; whether it be spending time with family, pursuing a career, date night with your guy or simply taking time for self-care.
Components of IIID Foundation
The foundation consists of four distinct colors that are strategically applied to specific areas of the face for a seamless finish.
Highlight
The Main Highlight color matches the overall tone of your skin and serves as your foundation shade. Depending on the colors in your skin you may choose to purchase additional highlights, a brightening shade and a color correcting shade. When choosing shades, ask you Seint artist for help or consider two shades lighter to brighten (think concealer) and two shades deeper to color correct areas of hyperpigmentation, redness and dark circles. The brightening (lighter foundation) is used to bring light to the center of the face, corner of the eyes and any area on mature skin that is losing volume.
Contour
The Contour color is darker mostly ashy shade of foundation than your natural skin tone. Contour enhances natural shadows while adding depth and dimension to features. It can be applied along the hairline, cheekbones, jawline, and sides of the nose. Contour chisels and sculpts the face.
Lip and Cheek
The Lip and Cheek color is cream-based and serves as both a blush and lip color. It can be applied on the cheeks and lips, also can be used as eyeshadow and color correcting too. The color Frenchie for example is a satin salmon color that works well to color correct dark circles on light -medium skin tone women.
Illuminator
The Illuminator gives a radiant glow to key places on the face, leaving the skin tone looking younger and softer. It can be applied at the top of the cheekbones, center of nose, brow bone, cupid’s bow, center of the lips, and collarbone.
