Product Information

What Makes it So Special

Elevates your natural beauty, while taking care of your skin. Instantly creates an even, fresh complexion with a natural luminous finish and healthy glow. Provides a sheer hint of customisable coverage with a lit-from-within look. 

Balmy, breathable and weightless formula melts into skin seamlessly matching most skin tones thanks to near-neutral undertones and superior mineral pigments. This game changing innovation allows each shade to adjust to several skin tones, giving you flexibility to customise your coverage. A completely fresh approach to traditional “foundation”, removing the frustrating search for your “perfect shade match” while delivering true to skin results.

Potent nutrient active food complexes feed the skin, nourishing and hydrating to visibly improve its appearance instantly and over time. Olive-derived squalane, macadamia nut and jojoba phytosterols plus avocado, vitamin E and shea butter help skin retain moisture and all-day dewiness, and with antioxidant and vitamin C rich Kakadu plum, rosehip and pomegranate, they help minimise fine lines and brighten the complexion. Quora Noni™ rebalances microbiome to minimises blemishes, prevent breakouts and de-stress skin, while a carotenoid complex and crambe abyssinica seed oil help protect against environmental aggressors including blu-light.

Contains the smallest (.005%) dilution of our signature Natural Active Fragrance Blend, a mood-balancing signature scent designed by One Seed™ for Lük Beautifood. Notes of rose, coriander, citrus and aromatic botanicals create a beautiful uplifting aroma. In our Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™, it’s subtle and barely there for even the most sensitive. 

Benefits

   

How To Use It

Glow tint balm is designed for you to have a couple of tube shades in your makeup kit at any one time to create a real skin, natural look across the seasons and occasion. Perfect for wearing at home or out and about with simple on-the-go application taking you from day to night and indoors to outside. Wear all day, every day.

Apply directly to skin with clean fingers just like you would with your moisturiser. Use on bare skin or over your moisturiser or serum. Use two to three pumps and dot onto the five points of your face and blend evenly. Layer for additional light coverage. Use one of two shades at the same time by either mixing them together; using in different areas on the face (ie lighter under the eyes); or alternate shades as the season changes or you move from day to night. 

Keep handy in your bag, desk drawer or bathroom for a quick pick-me-up!

Natural Ingredients

Potent nutrient active food and botanical complexes nourish, hydrate, and protect for brighter, fresher skin:

  • Avocado + Shea Butter. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, nourishing avocado oil and shea butter help skin heal, retain elasticity, and promotes collagen production.
  • Kakadu Plum + Rosehip + Pomegranate. A powerhouse of antioxidants + vitamin C to protect, brighten and smooth skin, fighting free radicals that cause oxidative stress and can lead to fine lines.
  • RonaFlair™ Balance. Superior natural mineral pigments even, conceal, blur and blend + invisible, ultra-fine lustre crystals add dimension for healthy and alive skin. This game-changing formula creates beautiful luminous natural tones and a soft-focus effect that allows each of the six nude shades to adapt to two or three skin tones, while also eliminating a white face flash reaction and ‘orange’ oxidation of the formula.  
  • L22™ Noncomedogenic Lipid Complex*. Clinically proven, with squalene rich olive oil, jojoba and macadamia nut phytosterols and esters visibly improve hydration, dewiness and skin's barrier recovery, elasticity and firmness without clogging your pores. *Licensed Trademark of International Flora Technologies LTD.
  • RADICARE®-GOLD Carotenoid Complex. With beta carotene + xanthophylls + abyssinica seed oil for blu-light stress protection. We’ve used one of the most powerful antioxidant complexes available as your personal Faraday shield – a barrier to oxidative stress from natural and digital radiation, such as high-energy visible light (HEV light, or blue light). This exclusive blend of carotenoids (the orange pigments found in food) with crambe abyssinica seed oil (high in omega-9) replenished the valuable carotenoids of the skin barrier, helping protect skin from the premature ageing and improve skin resilience to the stressors of modern life.
  • Quora Noni™ Lysate Culture. An active from the stem cells of Morinda citrifolia, or the native Australian Noni plant, it re-balances skin microbiome, minimises blemishes and the look of pores, flights breakouts and inflammation for truly healthy skin, even after you take it off.

FAQs

How much coverage does Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ provide?

Our tints provide a sheer hint of light customisable coverage. They can be layered for additional light coverage but will remain sheer for a natural finish and skin that looks like real skin. 

Can I buy Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ samples?

Yes, for a limited time we are selling samples. We're working on photography to show you how our tints look on a range of different skin tones and complexions because ultimately, we believe that's a more sustainable way of selling our products. Until then, we will offer samples for $2 each here.

Does Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ replace my foundation?

Yes. Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ replaces your foundation for a natural real skin look. For greater coverage, dust with your foundation mineral powder.

How is Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ different from solid coverage face products like foundation and concealer?

Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ is an all-in-one and a completely fresh approach to traditional solid coverage face products like foundation and concealer. Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ gives a real-skin lit from-within-look with a natural luminous finish and healthy glow. Its coverage is sheer, lightweight and customisable. And it improves your skin with every wear thanks to potent skincare actives. 

Foundation is typically solid to medium buildable coverage with a matte, ""pancake"" style look that hides skin and typically has an obvious line where your coverage ends and your real skin starts. Traditional foundation can be heavy, sits on skin and blocks pores and can cake and leave an obvious line. It also often contains synthetics. There are no skin care benefits. Concealer is used to cover spots and blemishes. It sits on top of the skin, is usually drying and cakes and flakes, making your blemishes more obvious as the day wears on.

How is Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ different from other sheer face products like tinted moisturiser and CC and BB creams?

Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ is an all-in-one and a completely fresh approach to other sheer face products, like tinted moisturiser and CC and BB creams. Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ gives a real-skin lit from-within-look with a natural luminous finish and healthy glow. Its coverage is sheer, lightweight and customisable. And it improves your skin with every wear thanks to potent skincare actives. 

Tinted moisturiser is a moisturiser with a small amount of colour added. It offers minimal coverage so any imperfections will still show, is often greasy so even coverage is hard to achieve, and there are no skincare benefits. CC creams, or colour correcting creams, are lighter in texture than BB creams, and provide sheer to full coverage like a foundation. They were made to cover pigmented skin, redness and blemishes. They hide your skin, giving a more "pancake" look like foundation. It can be challenging to find your ideal shade so there is often an obvious line where your CC cream ends and your real skin starts. BB creams, beauty balm or blemish balm, give slightly more coverage than a tinted moisturiser, but with a limited selection of shades to choose from making it challenging to match your skin tone and usually leaving an obvious line. Some contain antioxidants, but there are still limited skincare benefits.

Help! I can't see my shade. Why do you only have six to choose from?

The innovative mineral pigment technology in Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ adjusts each of the six nude shades to several skin tones. Our six debut shades suit most people from the fairest skin tones up to deeper, olive dusky brown skin tones. Our range will grow to meet our ever-evolving customer needs.

Does Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ contain SPF sun protection? 

No, there is no sun protection. Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ is designed for use over your existing sunscreen. We created this product to give a natural look. Sunscreen can cause a "flashback" effect when photos are taken, which does not happen with our Instant Glow Tint.

Does Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ replace my moisturiser?

It can, it really depends on your skin type and beauty routine. It contains potent nutrient active food complexes to feed, nourish and hydrate your skin. Olive-derived squalane, macadamia nut and jojoba phytosterols plus avocado, vitamin E and shea butter help skin retain moisture and all-day dewiness, and with antioxidant and vitamin C rich Kakadu plum, rosehip and pomegranate, they help minimise fine lines and brighten the complexion. You can use it on bare skin or over your existing moisturiser and / or face oils and actives depending on your changing needs and your skin's sensitivity to layering products.

Is it scented?

Yes, it is lightly scented with the smallest (.005%) dilution of our signature Natural Active Fragrance Blend, a mood-balancing signature scent. Notes of rose, coriander, citrus and aromatic botanicals create a beautiful uplifting aroma. In our Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™, it’s subtle and barely there for even the most sensitive. 

Which skincare actives does Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ contain?

Olive-derived squalane, macadamia nut and jojoba phytosterols plus avocado, vitamin E and shea butter help skin retain moisture and all-day dewiness, and with antioxidant and vitamin C rich Kakadu plum, rosehip and pomegranate, they help minimise fine lines and brighten the complexion.

Yes, it is made from nutrient rich foods, botanicals and natural mineral pigments. 

Is it non-toxic and safe for me to use?

I have a skin condition eg; eczema , rosacea, psoriasis. Is your product safe to use?

Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ is perfect for all skin types, even those with skin conditions. It's formulated with natural ingredients to nourish, hydrate, de-stress and protect the skin, including Quora Noni™, which rebalances microbiome to minimise blemishes and prevent breakouts.

Active ingredient Quora Noni™ rebalances microbiome to minimise blemishes, prevent breakouts and de-stress skin. Quora Noni™ (from the native Noni plant) blocks the communication channels between microorganisms of the skin microbiota and the epidermal cells, in what’s called “dermohacking”. This improves the health and appearance of the skin by “hacking” the communication systems of potentially harmful skin microbiota. This has benefits for those with skin conditions, such as psoriasis, rosacea, acne, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis, among others. To learn more about Quora Noni™, see our Ingredient Glossary.

Which skin types does it suit?

Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™is perfect for all skin types, even the most sensitive, mature and acne prone.

Which skin tones and undertones does it suit?

Six debut nude shades match most skin tones thanks to near-neutral undertones and superior mineral pigments. 

What's so special about the mineral pigments in Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™?

We use the RonaFlair™ Balance, superior natural mineral pigments to even, conceal, blur and blend, minimising redness, pigmentation and the look of pores and fine lines. It contains very small sized natural mineral pigments from titanium dioxide, tin oxide and mica. These invisible, ultra-fine lustre crystals add dimension for healthy and alive skin. Their matte transparency combined with intense colour create a natural complexion without the mask-like look typically achieved with traditional face products. This game-changing formula creates beautiful luminous natural tones and a soft-focus effect that allows each of the six nude shades to adapt to two or three skin tones, while also eliminating a white face flash reaction and ‘orange’ oxidation of the formula.

What is blu-light protection and how does that work?

RADICARE®-GOLD Carotenoid Complex with beta carotene + xanthophylls + abyssinica seed oil is used for blu-light stress protection.  RADICARE®-GOLD contains a blend of natural carotenoids from the freshwater alga Tetradesmus obliquus. It simulates the protective mechanism algae use to shield themselves against the oxidative stress caused by radiation When used in our cosmetics, it acts as your personal Faraday shield – a barrier to oxidative stress from natural and digital radiation, such as high-energy visible light (HEV light, or blue light). This exclusive blend of carotenoids (the orange pigments found in food) with crambe abyssinica seed oil (high in omega-9) replenished the valuable carotenoids of the skin barrier, helping protect skin from the premature ageing and improve skin resilience to the stressors of modern life. For more information RADICARE®-GOLD, see our Ingredient Glossary.

How long does it last?

Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ lasts for 12 months after opening.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

The shades are designed to suit a range of skin colours. You can also mix and match to get your ideal shade. So if the shade you purchased is not quite right, buy a shade either side and mix them. We also have a Shade Quiz and sample pots so you can try before you buy (and get a A$10 coupon to use on your next purchase of a full size product).

My Pump has stopped working

Glow Skin Tint has an airless pump, if your pump stops working it means some air has been trapped in the tube during use and it needs to be released. To correct the issue, fold the base of the tube up to push any air to the top. Then 'express' the air out by pushing the pump head down. Do this in the palm of your hand to avoid a mess, a small amount of skin tint may come out. 99% of tubes will be fixed by following this process - you don't need to cut the tube in half. Please contact us if our 'quick fix' did not work.

What's so special about the mineral pigments in Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™?

We use the RonaFlair™ Balance, superior natural mineral pigments to even, conceal, blur and blend, minimising redness, pigmentation and the look of pores and fine lines. Invisible, ultra-fine lustre crystals add dimension for healthy and alive skin. This game-changing formula creates beautiful luminous natural tones and a soft-focus effect that allows each of the six nude shades to adapt to two or three skin tones, while also eliminating a white face flash reaction and ‘orange’ oxidation of the formula.

Natural looking and glowy

I absolutely adore this foundation / bb cream. The finish is so natural and it sits on your skin like it’s not even there.

My only wish is that the experts creating this liquid gold would PLEASE ADD SPF!!! That is literally the only downside of this product, it offers no sun protection :( That said, it’s still so good that I use it anyway and spray spf over the top.

Light and glowy

I don't wear foundation but was looking for something light that would even out my skin and provide a bit of glow. This is perfect. It's a light formula that's easy to apply and feels weightless, provides just enough coverage to even out the skin but still looks very natural, and provides just a hint of glow. You also don't need a lot so I think the tube will last a while. It has a very subtle scent. My skin is very sensitive and this doesn't bother it at all. I tried a few samples first to find the right shade, 3 is perfect, with 2 being just a bit too light and pink and 4 being a bit too dark and more yellow. I'm very happy to have found this skin tint :)
