About this product
KATE Real Cover Liquid (Semi-Matte) is a high-coverage liquid foundation built on KATE's 'high-adhesion double coverage' formula, designed to conceal without looking cakey and hold a smooth, semi-matte finish through the day. Shade 01 is one of six shades in the range, formulated for normal-to-oily skin that wants shine control without sacrificing coverage.
How to use
- Apply a small amount to the center of the face using a brush, sponge, or fingers, blending outward.
- Build coverage in thin layers over areas that need more concealing rather than one thick coat.
- Set with a light dusting of translucent powder if extra oil control is wanted.
Ingredients
- Water & Dimethicone — Silicone-in-water base for a lightweight, smooth application.
- Caprylic/Capric Methicone & Methyl Trimethicone — Silicone emollients that help the formula spread evenly and set into a semi-matte finish.
- Silica — Mattifying agent that helps control shine and oil throughout the day.
- Glycerin — Humectant that keeps the high-coverage formula from feeling dry or cakey.
- Collagen & Sodium Hyaluronate — Hydrating skin-feel ingredients blended into the base.
- Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide — Provide opacity and high coverage.
- Iron Oxides — Pigments that build the shade's color match.
- Phenoxyethanol & Methylparaben — Preservative system for shelf stability.
