Application:

Step 1: Prep
Start with cleansed, moisturised skin. Apply your favourite ISSADA primer to create the perfect canvas and extend foundation wear.
Step 2: Dispense
Shake the bottle gently. Dispense one pump onto the back of your hand or directly onto your application tool. Remember: a little goes a long way with this concentrated formula.
Step 3: Apply
Using an ISSADA Latex-Free Sponge, Pro-Smoothing Sponge, or foundation brush, start in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and blend outwards toward the hairline and jawline. Use gentle patting or stippling motions for seamless coverage.
Step 4: Build
If additional coverage is desired, allow the first layer to set for 30 seconds, then apply a second thin layer to targeted areas.
Step 5: Set (Optional)
For normal to oily skin, set with ISSADA Mineral Baked Powder or Mineral Rice Powder for a semi-matte to matte finish. For normal to dry skin, use Mineral Luminous Powder or Mineral Powder Balm for a radiant, high-definition finish.

Pro Makeup Artist Tips

Tip 1: Customise Your Coverage
Mix a drop of ELIXIR Foundation with your ISSADA moisturiser or primer for a lightweight tinted moisturiser effect, perfect for no-makeup makeup days.
Tip 2: Strategic Application
For mature skin, avoid over-applying in areas with fine lines. Instead, use a damp sponge to press (not drag) foundation into skin, which prevents settling into creases.
Tip 3: Colour Correction
Layer ELIXIR over colour-correcting products for superior coverage of redness, dark circles, or hyperpigmentation. The buildable formula won’t look heavy or cakey.
Tip 4: Longevity Boost
For events or long days, apply ELIXIR, lightly dust with translucent powder, then mist with setting spray. Apply a second thin layer of ELIXIR for a locked-in, natural finish that lasts 16+ hours.
Tip 5: Tool Selection Matters
Use a dense buffing brush for fuller coverage and airbrushed finish. Switch to a damp beauty sponge for sheerer, skin-like coverage with a dewy glow.

What type of skin is Elixir Liquid Foundation made for?

Elixir is formulated to target Normal to Dry & Dehydrated skin. It has more coverage than CC8, and packed with multi-molecular hylauronic acid & Tremella mushroom extract it is ultra-hydrating too. It has a soft sheen finish and as a bonus we added papaya enzymes to help brighten the skin too. It is safe for sensitive skin and rosacea.

Will ELIXIR LIQUID Foundation clog my pores or cause breakouts?

Elixir is suitable for dry-skin acne and will not block the pores. However oily skin would be happier with Mineral Velvet Cream which is mattifying rather than satin.

Is the foundation suitable for mature skin or those concerned with fine lines?

Yes. Vitamin E and hydrating minerals help to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, while delivering a soft, dewy finish that flatters mature skin.

Can I use ELIXIR LIQUID Foundation with other ISSADA products?

Absolutely. For best results, prep your skin with ISSADA primer and set your look with one of our powders tailored to your skin type. The foundation is designed to layer seamlessly with other ISSADA products for a custom, long-lasting finish.

How long does the coverage last, and will it withstand a busy day?

ELIXIR LIQUID Foundation is engineered for longevity, offering over 12 hours of comfortable wear leaving your skin fresh and flawless from morning to night.

How should I apply ELIXIR LIQUID Foundation for best results?

For a seamless, skin-loving finish, start with ISSADA primer, then apply one pump of foundation with a latex-free sponge or foundation brush. Begin in the T-zone and blend outward. Optionally pair with ISSADA Luminous Loose powder to enhance hold further.

Amazing!!

"At 63, finding a foundation that delivers real coverage and keeps my skin hydrated has been incredibly difficult—until I discovered Issada Mineral Makeup. It gives a smooth, even complexion with a beautiful satin finish, without ever feeling heavy or drying. To finish, I apply a small amount of Issada Mineral Universal Glow, which adds the perfect touch of radiance and brings everything to life. I’m constantly asked—by friends, family, and even complete strangers—what foundation I’m wearing, and that speaks for itself. I genuinely can’t recommend this combination highly enough."

Donna P. (5/5)

It’s perfect!

"It’s been years since I’ve been this blown away by a foundation! I’ve tried a few that were good, but my god… Issada, I’m in love 😍 The coverage is insane — even with just a small amount, my skin looked literally photoshopped. It lasted all day, didn’t budge even when I was sweating, and still looked flawless. The best part? It felt like I had nothing on. It blended perfectly with powders and creams and just sat beautifully on my skin. Hands down one of the best foundations I’ve ever used. 💛 Ps this photo was taken at 9pm…I wore it all day!"

Love this product

"Great Satin Foundation! Smoothing and radiant. Shades can be abit trickly to work with."

Nicole B. (4/5)

unnecessarily fragranced and poorly packaged

"I recently switched over from the mineral velvet foundation. I find it unnecessarily fragranced, which is not suitable for me, and the packaging seems to be constantly leaking out foundation from around the base of lid which is so messy. Great coverage and finish though"

lindy (2/5)

Pure brilliance in this foundation.

"I always used the Prostick as I am a mature lady. I tried the Elixir and my preference is now the Elixir foundation. I currently wear a 10 Neutral and it wears so much better on my skin and doesn't block my pores. It gives great coverage and is the best foundation that Issada has made, especially for the more mature skin. I will continue to use the Elixir foundation. Thank you Issada."

Lisa M. (5/5)

Mineral Elixir Foundation

"Great foundation. . . . very natural I usually use the CC which I still love but when requiring a little more coverage this is a go to foundation. . . with the same dewy finish of the CC Cream. . . Happy with my purchase :-)"

Dale W. (5/5)

Pure minerals, flawless & completely beautiful

"I have been using Issada mineral products for the last 2 years and can say that their every product is authentically enriched with mineral ingredients which makes them Made for the Purpose. Especially the ingredient they are using as  titanium dioxide is the way to go for sun protection. Must say, this product is wonderful,  cover the redness & goes on evenly. Kudos to the Brand Issada & the formulator!"

Anny A. (5/5)

Great formula

"Unfortunately even with assistance from ISSADA the colour is not a suitable match (way to light to even bronze up) which is disappointing as the formula is stunning! Not a huge fan of the fragrance however the formula is beautifully creamy and hydrating."

Ally (4/5)

Stunning foundation

"I was chasing a foundation that gave me medium coverage and Ellie at the Bulimba store recommended this one. It is so easy to apply and matches my pale skin perfectly."

Ashley D. (5/5)

Best in the Market

"The ISSADA Mineral Elixir Foundation is a game-changer for flawless, radiant skin! It blends effortlessly, providing a smooth, natural finish with the ideal balance of coverage and glow. My skin feels hydrated all day, and it stays put without caking or fading. Perfect for mature or sensitive skin, this foundation truly brings out a luminous, healthy look. I highly recommend pairing it with ISSADA’s setting spray to lock in that fresh, dewy finish all day."
