Emily Atack has joined the ranks of celebrities including Cat Deeley who swear by a redness-reducing foundation, choosing it for her promotional appearances for the second season of Rivals.
Subtle Glam for Press Tour
The actress opted for a subtle, natural look during her press tour for the new season of Rivals, which premiered its first three episodes on Disney+ on Friday. While her character fully embraces the bold 80s beauty trends—think big hair and blue mascara—Emily's real-life promo style has been markedly different, featuring a glowy, natural finish.
For a recent press appearance, Emily and her makeup artist Lydia Barnes kept her skin looking fresh and natural, adding a touch of gold eyeshadow and a glossy pink lip. The key to Emily's flawless complexion was the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation, which provides a 'your-skin-but-better' finish.
Skincare-Infused Formula
The Triclone Skin Tech Foundation (£42) comes from Lady Gaga's brand, Haus Labs, and is also Cat Deeley's go-to foundation when hosting This Morning. It not only covers blemishes and balances skin tone but also contains skincare ingredients that soothe, calm, and nourish the skin. Arnica in the formula helps reduce redness and protect against environmental stress, while 20 other ingredients hydrate and smooth the skin.
The foundation offers medium coverage, effectively concealing unevenness and blemishes, yet feels weightless due to its serum-like technology. It blends seamlessly into the skin without caking or slipping, providing a second-skin finish that looks natural while blurring and smoothing the complexion. Available in 49 shades, it caters to a wide range of skin tones.
Similar Alternatives
For those seeking similar serum-like finishes, the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation contains niacinamide to smooth skin and allantoin to soothe it, offering a natural, radiant look. Alternatively, REFY's Skin Base Skin Tint (£30) features a Korean beauty-inspired gel texture that cools and hydrates upon application, with ingredients like inclusium and hyaluronic acid.
Shopper Reviews
The Haus Labs foundation has garnered positive reviews from shoppers. One user commented: 'Absolutely love this foundation. Glides on like a dream.' Another said: 'Love how breathable and comfortable this foundation feels. It evens out my skin tone without looking cakey and wears really well throughout the day.' A third added: 'Doesn't feel like foundation is sitting on my skin. Blends like a dream.'
However, some users experienced issues with oxidation. One reviewer noted: 'It's such a shame because the formula is amazing but it oxidises on me so bad! Maybe it's just the shade I picked but it turns so yellow.' Another agreed: 'It could be due to the shade being too dark for me and pulling too warm but I do feel after a while it does start looking heavy on the skin.'
Despite these critiques, many remain fans. One enthusiastic user stated: 'This has to be the best foundation on the market! It feels amazing to wear—genuinely feels like you've nothing on! Such long wear too.'
