Annique Colour Caress Velvet Touch Natural Finish Foundation SPF 20 – 30ml

Buildable coverage with real skincare benefits — for naturally radiant, flawless skin.

What It Does

The Annique Colour Caress Velvet Touch Foundation goes far beyond traditional coverage. Formulated with state-of-the-art light-diffusing pigments, moisturising grape seed oil, Green Rooibos extract and broad-spectrum SPF 20, this fragrance-free foundation minimises imperfections and fine lines, balances moisture levels, protects against UV damage and leaves skin looking naturally radiant with a healthy glow.

Buildable from a light natural finish to fuller coverage, transfer-resistant and long-wearing — Velvet Touch is ideal for oily and combination skin types that need balanced hydration and daily sun protection without heaviness or shine.

Available shades:
Caramel Silk — warm golden-caramel tone for medium to deeper skin.
Cream Beige — soft neutral for light to medium skin with cool or neutral undertones.
Natural Beige — the most universally flattering shade, ideal for light to medium skin with neutral to warm undertones.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Light-Diffusing Pigments
Multi-reflecting particles scatter light away from imperfections and fine lines — creating a naturally flawless, radiant finish without heaviness.

Green Rooibos Extract
Unfermented Green Rooibos contains significantly higher antioxidant levels than regular Rooibos — defending against free radicals that cause breakouts, premature ageing and environmental damage.

Grape Seed Oil
Delivers exceptional hydration while supporting skin firmness — leaving skin moist, smooth and visibly healthier with daily use.

Moisturising Complex
Prevents the skin from drying out during the day — keeping skin supple and comfortable from morning to evening.

SPF 20 Sun Protection
Shields skin against premature ageing, pigmentation and sun damage from daily UV exposure — essential in South Africa’s high-UV climate.

What It Improves

• Uneven skin tone and visible imperfections
• Fine lines and the appearance of ageing
