What Is Full Coverage?

Full coverage means base products (foundation, concealer) that provide maximum coverage of imperfections, discoloration, and blemishes.

Full-coverage foundations and concealers offer opaque coverage. They're often used for events, photos, or when someone wants a flawless, uniform base. They can feel heavier than light coverage.

Tips

  • Apply in thin layers and build where needed. Use a damp sponge for a smoother finish.
