Get the Glow: Using Serum as a Makeup Base

Discover the versatility of Nibu Serum! This guide will show you how to use it as a radiant makeup base while enjoying its skin-loving benefits.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin

Begin with a clean canvas. Apply Nibu Naturals Gel Cleanser to your face. Its gentle, gel-based formula effectively melts away dirt, pollution, SPF, and makeup without harsh rubbing. The infusion of rosehip oil ensures quick absorption, preventing pore-clogging, while aloe vera provides a burst of moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.

Massage the cleanser onto your face in circular motions, allowing it to dissolve impurities. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Step 2: Apply Nibu Serum

Choose your desired shade: Glow Natural, Glow Darker, or Glow Deeper. Apply 4-6 drops of the serum to slightly damp skin.

Important: When applying the Darker and Deeper shades, ensure to blend them seamlessly into the ear and neck areas for a natural, harmonious look.

Step 3: (Optional) Create a Foundation

For a foundation-like coverage, mix 4-6 drops of the serum with 1-2 drops of Luna Bronze Chic. Blend well.

Important: When applying the serum as makeup, ensure to blend it seamlessly into the ear and neck areas for a natural, harmonious look.

Step 4: Add a Touch of Luna

Apply Luna Highlighter to the apples of your cheeks and lips. Experiment with Golden Delight on brow bones, cheekbones, and cupid's bow.

Step 5: Customise Your Look

Play with Luna shades – English Rose, Golden Delight, and Bronze Chic. Mix and match to create unique and stunning looks.

Step 6: Applying Luna to Cheeks (Caution on Pigmentation)

When applying English Rose or Bronze Chic to the cheeks, use just 1 drop divided between both cheeks. The product is highly pigmented, so continue adding drops until you achieve your desired intensity.

Step 7: (Optional) Set with Makeup

If desired, apply your favourite makeup over the serum. Glow Natural works particularly well as a makeup base.

Step 8: Enjoy the Benefits

Embrace the natural healing and anti-aging benefits of the serum, enriched with essential oils.

Fresh and Natural Finish

Applying the serum to slightly damp skin ensures total absorption, leaving your face looking beautiful, fresh, and natural.

The Science of Radiance: Unveiling Astaxanthin

Nibu serums are enriched with Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant derived from microalgae.

  • What it does: Astaxanthin is a potent anti-inflammatory that helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. It also boasts strong antioxidant properties, combating free radicals and minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Benefits for your skin: Expect a more youthful, radiant complexion with improved skin elasticity and a reduced appearance of age spots.
