Glow Foundation vs. Cover Foundation: What is the difference?
The market is full of Make-up products and foundations that come not only in different colors but also in various textures. But which foundation suits which skin type, and what does the best result look like? Founder and beauty expert Miriam Jacks develops our Glow and Cover Foundation herself, ensuring that our Make-up not only fulfills its function but also contains high-quality and nourishing ingredients.

Let's start from the beginning: You wonder why you even need a foundation? The foundation is the base of your Make-up and thus the product you start with in your Make-up routine. With a foundation, you can create a very even complexion or just lightly even out your skin before other products like blush or bronzer complete your look.
Glow or Cover Foundation? We have written down the most important differences for you to hopefully make it easier for you to get started and decide.
What makes the Glow Foundation so special
Our Glow Foundation with light to medium coverage gives you glowing skin and is suitable for every skin type. It provides you with a radiant complexion and moisturizing care. This makes it perfect for daily Make-up or when you want a light, fresh look.
When you should use the Glow Foundation
1. If you prefer a natural look and want to even out your skin tone lightly without covering anything up. That means if your skin doesn’t have special needs like major blemishes or strong redness.
2. Our light Glow Foundation is perfect if you want to give your tired complexion a healthy and fresh glow.
3. For activities where you prefer a natural dewy Make-up look or a no-make-up effect, such as sports, vacation, etc.
Who the Glow Foundation is suitable for
Our Glow Foundation is ideal for dry to normal skin types, as it makes the skin look hydrated.
What makes the Cover Foundation so special
Our full-coverage foundation gives the skin an even complexion and a naturally silky finish, making it the ideal Make-up for blemished skin, acne, or rosacea. It is especially suitable for special occasions or for days when long-lasting coverage is needed.
When you should use the Cover Foundation
1. If your skin has special needs, such as severe blemishes, acne, redness, rosacea, or pigmentation disorders that you want to cover in just one step.
2. If you want longer-lasting wear for special occasions or long days when you want to be sure your Make-up stays put.
3. If you prefer a professional Make-up result with a completely even finish.
Who the Cover Foundation is suitable for
Our cover foundation is suitable for sensitive skin, combination skin, or oily skin, as it often controls excess oil.
A combination of both is also possible. For example, the Glow Foundation for the entire face and the Cover Foundation only for the "problem areas." However, if you only want to cover individual spots, especially on the go, the Cover Concealer is the ideal product. It has the same coverage as the Cover Foundation and is available in a convenient compact for your handbag.
Conclusion: Glow Foundation or Cover Foundation?
In summary, our Glow Foundation is natural, light, and glowy. Perfect for dry skin and a fresh look. Our Cover Foundation is full coverage with a silky finish. Ideal for oily skin and a smooth finish.
Whether you choose the Glow Foundation or the Cover Foundation ultimately depends on your skin type, your skin needs, and the desired look.
We hope this post has helped you and supports you in your daily beauty routine.
