FAQs
How do I find my shade in Pressed Base?

We recommend taking the 'Right For You' foundation quiz, which you can find on the image at the top of this page. Our quiz will ask you questions about your skin tone and match you to the perfect pressed powder foundation shade.

What is the best way to apply Pressed Base powder foundation?

Pressed Base coverage is buildable. For sheer coverage, we recommend our 104 Dual Fiber Face Brush. For more full coverage, we recommend our 105 Flat-Top Kabuki Brush.

What primer works best with powder foundation?

All of our primers work great with powder foundations, but our best-selling primer is our Oil-Free Tinted Primer. It evens out any tone or texture concerns, making it the perfect canvas for foundation.

What is pressed mineral powder foundation?

A mineral pressed powder foundation is a semi-solid powder that’s used as a base or foundation, as you would a liquid or cream product.

What is the difference between loose and pressed powder foundation?

The main difference between loose and pressed powder foundations is their formula. Pressed powder is more densely packed than a loose powder, providing more flexible, buildable coverage, from sheer to full. Loose powder foundation is super lightweight and provides a lighter, sheerer coverage than pressed powder. Both can be used to set liquid or cream makeup foundations to blur any remaining imperfections.

Can I try samples of this foundation?

Yes! Makeup samples are available for purchase. We encourage you to try a few different shades to find the perfect match.

Can I use pressed powder foundation over liquid foundation?

Absolutely. Our mineral powder can be used alone or layered over liquid makeup to set your base and add a natural matte finish. It helps blur imperfections while keeping your product in place throughout the day.

    Long time fan

    I have been using Glo pressed base for many years. I'm tried other less expensive brands but they just don’t measure up! I gave up on other brands and have used Glo exclusively for well over 10 years. I am 75/and I get many compliments on my makeup from much younger ladies and questions about what product I use.

    Good for dry skin

    I was able to find the perfect color after receiving five samples to choose from. I was nervous to use a pressed powder foundation because of my dry skin, especially in the winter. I found the pressed base to work flawlessly with my skin, doesn’t dry it out, and stays in place all day! I also use Bio-Renew EGF Cream twice daily.

    My Go-To For More Than 10 Years

    I first discovered Glo's Pressed Base at a spa more than 10 years ago, and it's still the only face powder I use. I have EXTREMELY dry skin, so I thought it was nuts to use powder as my foundation. I was so wrong. (Tip: I use argan oil underneath, and the powder seemingly MELTS into my skin, leaving a beautiful, natural skin appearance.) The coverage is very buildable, so even darker spots are fully covered or less noticeable.

    I'm 45 at the time of writing this, and I really do think the Pressed Base has contributed to my skin well-being! If you're a picker (like me), you'll never want to touch your face because it's just too pretty to mess up.

    My only complaint is the shade names are pretty confusing. In no other cosmetics spectrum would I be considered a Golden Dark, but here we are! If you can test the shades at a retailer, I recommend doing that before buying. Once you get the shade right, you'll be hooked.

    Love it!

    I tried the pressed powder after my previos powder by another brand was discontinued. I have sensitive skin so I was hesitant to try a new product but I love it! It is easy to use with buildable coverage. It does have to be touched up but I don't mind as I usually touch up anyways. Highly recommend!
