Pressed mineral foundation for tinted skin with a golden undertone
Tinted skin with a golden undertone naturally has a warm, sunny glow. The skin tans easily, often retains a light base tone even in winter, and radiates natural vitality. The problem with many foundations: they flatten this skin by using cool or neutral pigments, causing the natural golden glow to disappear and the skin to look duller or grayer than it really is.
Light Tan TG3 enhances this golden warmth. The pigment balance contains a richer ratio of yellow and orange mineral pigments, which allows the foundation to blend with the natural undertone instead of sitting on top. The result is skin that looks healthy, hydrated, and sun-kissed — as if you just returned from vacation.

Active ingredients
Iron oxides in golden balance (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499): The three iron oxides form the pigment core of the foundation. TG3 contains a higher ratio of CI 77492 (yellow iron oxide) and CI 77491 (red iron oxide) — this combination creates the warm golden appearance that allows the skin to blend with its natural undertone. Iron oxides also provide additional protection against visible and blue light, which is especially valuable for warm skin as it develops pigment spots more quickly under hyperpigmentation pressure.
Mica: Gives the foundation a subtle light reflection without shimmer or sparkle. On golden skin, mica works particularly well because it enhances the natural glow and gives the skin a healthy, dewy finish instead of the matte, flat look that other powders sometimes create.
Ceretin Complex: The patented combination of encapsulated retinol, ceramides, and lactic acid. For tinted skin with a golden undertone, lactic acid is especially valuable because this skin type can naturally be thicker and firmer — lactic acid gently exfoliates and keeps the skin texture finer. The encapsulated retinol works gradually, preventing irritation.
Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract: A plant-based active that supports skin firmness and contributes to a smoother appearance. Works synergistically with Ceretin Complex to refine skin texture over time.
Titanium dioxide 9.3%: The mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum SPF 15 protection. Although tinted skin naturally contains more melanin and burns less easily, UV protection is essential to prevent pigment spots — one of the most common skin issues with golden undertones.
Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): Nourishes the skin and maintains suppleness under makeup. Prevents the powder from settling into dry areas or creating a dull finish on tinted skin.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if Light Tan TG3 is my right shade?
TG3 is intended for those who naturally have lightly tinted skin with a warm, golden glow. A good indicator: see how your skin reacts to the sun. Do you tan instead of redden, and does your skin still look lightly golden brown in winter instead of pale? Then TG3 is a good match. Gold jewelry probably suits you better than silver, and clothing colors like ochre, terracotta, and olive green flatter your natural look.
What is the difference between Light Tan TG3 and Tan TN6?
Both are for tinted skin, but TG3 has a pronounced warm golden undertone, while TN6 is lighter and more neutral in undertone. If you find TN6 a bit too cool or pale, TG3 often offers a more natural match. If in doubt, choose TG3 if your skin clearly becomes warmer and golden in summer.
Will this shade make my skin look too orange?
No, TG3 is balanced so that the warm pigments follow the natural undertone without intensifying to orange. With correct matching, the finish remains natural. We do recommend testing the shade on your jawline first — if the color disappears into the skin there, the match is correct.
Does this foundation help with pigment spots?
The combination of Waltheria extract, lactic acid, and ferulic acid in the formula helps over time to even out skin tone. Additionally, the medium coverage immediately camouflages existing pigment spots, while the SPF 15 prevents them from darkening further. For optimal results, we recommend using a separate sunscreen with SPF 30 or 50 underneath.
How does the foundation hold up in warm weather or when sweating?
The mineral formula with silica and zinc stearate absorbs excess moisture and oil, helping the foundation stay put in summer or warm climates. During intense sweating, such as during sports, we recommend touching up rather than applying a thick layer — this prevents the powder from settling in sweat-prone areas.
Does TG3 give a matte or a natural glowing finish?
TG3 falls between matte and dewy: a polished, satin finish that preserves the skin’s natural golden glow. The mica pigments provide subtle light reflection without pronounced shine, making the skin look healthy without a greasy effect.
