The Difference Between Lightform Extended Hydration Foundation And Filter Effect Soft Focus Foundation

The Difference Between Lightform Extended Hydration Foundation And Filter Effect Soft Focus Foundation

  • Behind the Beauty

Let’s talk foundation – one of our favorite topics. We know you are far from beauty newbies, so your collection is likely stocked with all kinds of finishes, coverages, and formulas. But we also know that foundation is the kind of essential where we have our go-tos – the ones we reach for over and over no matter what.

And usually? There are two – the hydrating foundation for the glowy no-makeup makeup days, and the medium coverage foundation for when you’re going all out. No matter what though, your complexion’s gotta look perfection.

Morphe knows because we are you, which is why we just launched Lightform Extended Hydration Foundation as the glowy-skin sister to our best-selling Filter Effect Soft Focus Foundation. And like sisters, they’re happiest when they get equal attention.

So while these two must-haves are going to be your holy grail foundations, let’s take a deep dive into the difference between the two.

Lightform Extended Hydration Foundation

We call the look real skin, perfected. Think about your best skin day, then take it a step further – that’s Lightform Extended Hydration Foundation. Not only is it weightless with
a buildable medium coverage, but it melts into the skin to diffuse imperfections instantly for that second-skin look. This is your hydrating foundation.

Some glowy radiant foundations add radiance on top of the skin, but Lightform is skincare-infused so it works hard to actively improve your skin and reveal the natural radiance that was there all along.

Lightform also has an innovative biomimetic HydroRelief Complex that hydrates for up to sixteen hours. It’s long-wearing, sweat-proof, and water-proof – the perfect foundation option if you’re having a casual day running errands, into the clean girl makeup look, or just want to improve your skin while basically doing nothing.

The result is your skin, switched
on—with a healthy-looking, hydrated, cared-for radiance that glows from within.

 

How to apply foundation if you have oilier skin:

1. Apply a thin layer to areas where you would want it– such as the high points of your cheeks.

2. Blend out into the skin using the Morphe M101 Lightform Dual-Ended Complexion Brush.

3. Then choose a Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder to boost radiance where you want it and mattify and blot away excess oil from the places you don’t want it.

4. Use the Vegan Pro Series Powder Puff to press the powder into the under eyes, chin, and forehead, then brush away with a fluffy brush.

How to apply foundation if you have drier/combination skin:

1. Apply with the Morphe M101 Lightform Dual-Ended Complexion Brush, or a damp beauty sponge or your fingertips depending on the desired finish.

2. Bake and set your complexion using the Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder if needed.

But we also know that foundation is the kind of essential where we have our go-tos – the ones we reach for over and over no matter what.

What should I wear with my foundation?

Once you’ve applied either full coverage foundation or medium coverage
foundation, follow up with Filter Effect Soft Radiance Concealer to brighten and conceal any imperfections. Then choose a Morphe Complexion Pro Face Palette in your complementary skin tone to contour, bronze, blush, and highlight. Lastly, never forget to set your look so it stays in place all day. Choose from our cult icon Continuous Setting Mist and the skincare-infused Continuous Prep & Set Mist +.

How to Incorporate Color Theory Into Your Makeup Routine

Morphe believes that beauty is so much more than applying makeup to your face – it’s artistry, and you’re the artist. Simply by choosing a new shade, texture, or finish, you can create a whole new makeup look or version of yourself. Play up your eyes with something bold, or give your lips main character energy with a slick of shine. You have so much power over the way you express yourself, and by understanding color theory, you can seriously level up your understanding of your own artistry.
