2-in-1 Foundation & Concealer: How INGLOT Long-Lasting Velvet Keeps Up with Today's Complexion Trends

Complexion makeup is changing. We're reaching less often for heavy, high-coverage formulas. Instead, we're looking for products that multitask, look great on skin all day, and fit our lifestyle. Discover the trends shaping the beauty industry today and how INGLOT Long-Lasting Velvet 2in1 Face Foundation & Concealer answers them.

Trends That Are Changing Our Makeup Bags

1. Multifunctionality – Fewer Products, More Possibilities

Skinimalism, the practice of consciously paring down your beauty routine, is one of the biggest trends of recent seasons. Hybrid products that replace two or three items save time and space in your makeup bag and simplify your morning routine.

2. Soft Matte Instead of Heavy Matte

Matte is back, but in a new, lighter form. Instead of a dry, powdery finish, the focus is on a soft matte finish: velvety, blurred, and natural. Skin looks smoother, with a naturally fresh look.

3. Makeup That Keeps Up with an Active Lifestyle

A gym session after work, a bike ride, a walk in the rain, or a day at the beach – today we expect makeup to hold up in all kinds of conditions without constant touch-ups. Sweat-, humidity-, and transfer-resistant formulas are becoming the standard.

4. Makeup with a Skincare Touch

The line between makeup and skincare keeps blurring. More and more, we choose makeup enriched with ingredients known from skincare, and we pay attention to whether a formula is skin-friendly – for example, whether it clogs pores.

5. Inclusivity – A Shade for Everyone

A wide shade range is now an expectation, not a bonus. What matters is not only the depth of color but also the skin's undertone, because that's what determines whether a foundation looks natural.

Long-Lasting Velvet – Foundation and Concealer in One

Long-Lasting Velvet combines the functions of a foundation and a concealer in a single formula. It offers buildable coverage from medium to full and a velvety matte finish with a natural-looking effect.

36 Shades and 4 Undertones – How to Find Your Match

The Long-Lasting Velvet range includes 36 shades from Fair to Extra Deep, available in four undertones:

- Cool – with pink or bluish hints

- Neutral – balanced

- Warm – with golden or peachy hints

- Olive – with a greenish tint

Tip: Check the color of the veins on your wrist. Blue veins usually indicate a cool undertone, greenish veins a warm one, and if it's hard to tell, you likely have a neutral undertone. Test shades along your jawline in natural light.
