Light-Diffusing SPF Foundations

The Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation is Nourishing

While the average beauty consumer is familiar with SPF foundations, makeup products are becoming more like nourishing skincare solutions by the day and this is especially true thanks to releases like Tom Ford's newest foundation. The Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation boasts not just radiance-boosting benefits thanks to elastomers and light-diffusing powders but also hydrating properties thanks to hyaluronic acid. There's also the natural oils of antibacterial and scar-healing balsam copaiba, inflammation-fighting andiroba and vitamin-rich acai in the foundation formula.

The Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation helps to provide medium to full coverage, plus SPF 50 protection, and is available in a diverse 40-shade range from 0.0 Pearl to 13.0 Espresso.
