About this product
KATE Real Cover Liquid (Semi-Matte) 02 is the standard reference shade in KATE's high-coverage, semi-matte foundation line — the shade KATE recommends starting with if you're unsure which color to pick. Built on the brand's 'high-adhesion double coverage' formula, it's designed to conceal evenly while resisting shine and breakdown through the day.
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 & Methyltrimethicone — 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.
