Description
Our Umuhle Extreme Coverage Foundation is the Umuhle foundation with the highest coverage in our range. It has a serum base with a lightweight feel and a built-in corrector and concealer, and it comes in 16 deeper shades from Acorn to Espresso.
What is Umuhle Extreme Coverage Foundation?
Umuhle Cosmetics is our range for deeper skin tones. The Extreme Coverage formula is made for strong coverage on dark marks, pigmentation and uneven tone, using very little product. Because the corrector and concealer are built in, many customers find they need fewer products on top.
Who it suits
- Normal to dry skin that needs high coverage. This is our first suggestion for drier skin.
- Marks, pigmentation and uneven tone you want covered without layering several products.
- The deepest shades: this is the only formula in Clove, Deep Ebony and Espresso.
Key benefits
- Extreme, buildable coverage in thin layers.
- Serum base and lightweight feel: comfortable even at high coverage.
- Built-in corrector and concealer.
- All-day wear and waterproof: smudge-proof once sealed with powder.
- Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic: formulated not to clog pores and to keep the risk of reactions low.
- Cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan.
How to apply
- Shake well before every use.
- Prep: apply to clean skin after our moisturiser. In the morning, finish skincare with our Liquid SPF50 Primer at the full amount and let it settle.
- Start small: a little goes a long way. Blend a thin layer with our Foundation & Blender Brush or Angled Foundation Brush.
- Build only where needed: add a second thin layer over marks rather than all over.
- Seal with powder: press in our Loose Setting Powder to help prevent rubbing off.
If your base ever looks heavy, the fix is usually less product, not more. Our post on the less is more approach to Extreme Coverage explains why.
