Product details

Three frosted glass Espoir Be Glow Foundation bottles in 21N, 22N and 23N on a warm beige table, between champagne silk and a small dollop of liquid foundation

Glow foundation

An ultra-light liquid foundation with a comfortable, glowy finish that keeps skin moist and doesn’t dry out through the day.

Espoir’s Be Glow Foundation spreads thin and leaves a smooth, healthy glow rather than a flat matte. Glycerin and a triple volume complex of hyaluronic acids, collagen and peptides hold moisture under the coverage, and Espoir says a 24-hour moisture test was completed. A mineral and a chemical filter add light daily sun protection, and the shades were designed by undertone and depth with KAIST Color Lab.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Sun protection

    Mineral titanium dioxide and a chemical filter sit high on the list for SPF27 PA++.

    No. 3, 5 of 48 on the list

  • Light, glowy base

    Silky, fast-spreading silicones and a light volatile give the ultra-light, glowy layer.

  • Moisture under the coverage

    Humectants high on the list keep skin moist so the glow doesn’t turn dry or tight.

  • Triple volume complex

    Espoir’s moisture-and-bounce trio of multiple hyaluronic acids, collagen and peptides, near the end of the list.
