Glo Beauty Pressed Base
Pro-favorite pressed mineral foundation. One compact. Endless finishes.
Glo Skin Beauty Pressed Base is the cult-favorite pressed mineral foundation that delivers buildable, customizable coverage in a portable, mess-free compact. A talc-free, mineral-based formulation applies sheer for a fresh "your-skin-but-better" finish or builds to full coverage that camouflages blemishes, redness and pigmentation — without ever looking cakey. Apply wet for full coverage, dry for sheer, or skip primer entirely. It's the makeup-bag essential pro artists keep on hand.
Best For
- All skin types — normal, dry, combination, oily, sensitive
- Anyone wanting one foundation that flexes from sheer to full coverage
- On-the-go touch-ups and travel
- Skin concerned with breakouts, redness or sensitivity (mineral, non-comedogenic)
Key Ingredients
- Titanium dioxide & zinc oxide — mineral pigments that provide coverage plus a natural skin-protective barrier.
- Mica & iron oxides — pure mineral colorants for true-to-skin shade matching.
- Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) — antioxidant defense.
- Squalane — replenishes skin's natural lipid layer, prevents the dryness most pressed powders cause.
Talc-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, fragrance-free, cruelty-free. Dermatologist-tested. Non-comedogenic.
How to Use
- For sheer coverage (dry application): Swirl a flat-top kabuki brush (Glo 105) into the pressed base, tap off excess, and buff onto clean, moisturized skin.
- For full coverage (wet application): Dampen a foundation brush or sponge, then apply the pressed base directly — coverage doubles instantly.
- Build coverage in layers; spot-conceal blemishes or under-eye darkness with Glo Under Eye Concealer.
- Carry the compact for on-the-go touch-ups throughout the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between wet and dry application?
Dry gives sheer-to-medium coverage with a soft natural finish. Wet (with a damp brush or sponge) doubles the pigment payoff for medium-to-full coverage — perfect for blemishes or events.
Is it good for oily skin?
Yes — Pressed Base is one of the best pressed mineral foundations for oily and combination skin. It absorbs oil naturally without looking dry.
Will it look cakey on dry or mature skin?
Not when applied over moisturizer or primer. The squalane content keeps it from settling. For very dry skin, use the wet application sparingly.
Is it really mineral, or just marketed that way?
Truly mineral-based: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, mica and iron oxides as the active pigments. Talc-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic.
Can I use it without primer?
Yes — Pressed Base is forgiving enough to wear bare. For 8+ hour wear, prime with Glo Oil-Free Tinted Primer SPF 30 or Hydrating Primer.
How long does the compact last?
Most users get 4–6 months of daily use from a single compact.
Pairs With: HD Mineral Foundation Stick, Under Eye Concealer, Oil-Free Tinted Primer SPF 30.
