The “Second Skin” Ritual

September 22, 2025

Your skin—but better. That’s the idea behind the Second Skin Ritual, a curated step-by-step complexion routine built around our fan-favorite ORIGINAL Pressed Powder Foundation. From smoothing to setting, every product in this ritual is designed to enhance your natural radiance while maintaining that barely-there feel. The result? A breathable, seamless finish that looks like your skin on its very best day.

Whether you have 5 minutes or 20, this customizable ritual gives you flexibility without compromising on a flawless finish.

Step 1: SMOOTH

PRIME TIME™ Original Foundation Primer

Start with a clean, moisturized face and apply a thin layer of PRIME TIME™ Original Foundation Primer. This formula blurs pores, smooths texture, and creates a weightless canvas for foundation application, helping your makeup go on more evenly and last longer.

Step 2: EVEN

ORIGINAL Talc-Free Pressed Powder Foundation SPF 15
Apply with the Precision Face Brush

This is the hero of the ritual. Our ORIGINAL Pressed Powder Foundation delivers buildable, talc-free coverage with a soft matte finish that still lets your skin shine through. Use the PRESS. TAP. SWEEP. method for buildable coverage. 

Step 3: CORRECT

ORIGINAL Liquid Mineral Concealer
Blend with the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush

Target dark circles, redness, and blemishes with the ORIGINAL Liquid Mineral Concealer. Lightweight but powerful, this hydrating formula melts into skin for a seamless correction that stays true all day. Tap and blend with the Maximum Coverage Brush for an airbrushed look without the heaviness.

Step 4: VEIL

ORIGINAL Mineral Veil® Talc-Free Pressed Setting Powder
Finish with the Supreme Finisher Brush

Set your makeup and soften any harsh lines with the ORIGINAL Mineral Veil Pressed Powder. This skin-blurring finishing powder locks in your look. Use the Supreme Finisher Brush to sweep a light veil across the face for a soft-focus, filtered effect.

Step 5: SET

ORIGINAL Mineral Veil 24HR Natural Matte Setting Spray

Seal your Second Skin Ritual with our ORIGINAL Mineral Veil 24HR Setting Spray. Infused with skin-loving minerals, this setting spray locks in makeup for all-day wear—without feeling tight or sticky. Just a few spritzes and you’re ready to face whatever comes your way.
