1. Heat the ingredients of phases A and B separately up to 75°C in a heat-resistant beaker on a water bath. When both phases have reached the right temperature, remove from heat.
2. Add the contents of phase A to phase B with mixing, continue mixing until smooth.
3. Place the beaker in a bowl of cold water and blend until a smooth, glossy, homogeneous emulsion is formed. Add phase C and blend.
4. When the mixture has cooled to below 40°C, or hand temperature, add phase D ingredients and mix thoroughly until smooth.
5. There is no need to adjust the pH. Transfer the composition to the dedicated container. Consistency will be final the next day.
The result is a foundation with a sensorial profile suitable for oily skin. It has a pleasant texture, medium coverage, light neutral shade and a powdery after-feel.
To get a darker shade, a little of each hydrophilic pigment can be added at the end; to get a warmer tone, increase the dosage of the yellow pigment a little, and for a cooler tone, increase the dosage of the red pigment a little. A pearl sheen can be achieved by adding bronze, gold or coral pearl pigment.
