FAQs
How do I find my shade in Pressed Base?

We recommend taking the 'Right For You' foundation quiz, which you can find on the image at the top of this page. Our quiz will ask you questions about your skin tone and match you to the perfect pressed powder foundation shade.

What is the best way to apply Pressed Base powder foundation?

Pressed Base coverage is buildable. For sheer coverage, we recommend our 104 Dual Fiber Face Brush. For more full coverage, we recommend our 105 Flat-Top Kabuki Brush.

What primer works best with powder foundation?

All of our primers work great with powder foundations, but our best-selling primer is our Oil-Free Tinted Primer. It evens out any tone or texture concerns, making it the perfect canvas for foundation.

What is pressed mineral powder foundation?

A mineral pressed powder foundation is a semi-solid powder that’s used as a base or foundation, as you would a liquid or cream product.

What is the difference between loose and pressed powder foundation?

The main difference between loose and pressed powder foundations is their formula. Pressed powder is more densely packed than a loose powder, providing more flexible, buildable coverage, from sheer to full. Loose powder foundation is super lightweight and provides a lighter, sheerer coverage than pressed powder. Both can be used to set liquid or cream makeup foundations to blur any remaining imperfections.

Can I try samples of this foundation?

Yes! Makeup samples are available for purchase. We encourage you to try a few different shades to find the perfect match.

Can I use pressed powder foundation over liquid foundation?

Absolutely. Our mineral powder can be used alone or layered over liquid makeup to set your base and add a natural matte finish. It helps blur imperfections while keeping your product in place throughout the day.

    Best Coverage & Skin Care

    I have been using this brand for over 25 years. I always get told how young I look. I love the benefits from using mineral powder and how well it works in the humid climate I live in.

    Best Powder Ever!

    I have been using this powder for around 15 years. I don't like liquid foundation. This powder provides great coverage yet is very lightweight. I've tried other brands over the years and end up throwing them all away. I stopped making impulse purchases and only use Glo power and bronzer powder!

    Long time fan

    I have been using Glo pressed base for many years. I'm tried other less expensive brands but they just don’t measure up! I gave up on other brands and have used Glo exclusively for well over 10 years. I am 75/and I get many compliments on my makeup from much younger ladies and questions about what product I use.

    Subtle coverage

    The light honey is a perfect match for my skin. I am 62 years young and use a tinted sunscreen underneath this and apply it with a fluffy brush and add a 2nd layer on days I want more coverage. I gave it a 4 because I wish it had just a bit of blur to it as it can accentuate my pores a bit since I am mature and dry. Overall, this is a keeper and I will buy again.
