Espoir Pro Tailor Foundation Be Velvet 10 Colours

Espoir Pro Tailor Foundation Be Velvet takes the brand's Pro Tailor line into a soft matte direction, using titanium dioxide and a layered silicone base to build coverage that settles into a velvet finish rather than sitting flat or shiny. Panthenol is folded in to stop the matte base from feeling stripped through the day, and the formula is designed to be shaken before each use so pigment stays evenly mixed rather than settling at the bottom of the bottle. Across 10 shades, it is built for buildable, even coverage that photographs smoothly without a heavy powder layer on top.

Why You'll Love It

• True velvet-matte finish: the silicone film base is formulated to blur texture and settle into a smooth, non-shiny look.
• Buildable across 10 shades: the range is wide enough to layer thinly for daily wear or build for fuller coverage.
• Doesn't feel stripped: panthenol is included specifically to keep the matte base comfortable rather than tight or dry.
• Shake-and-go consistency: the brand's own instructions call for a shake before use, keeping pigment evenly dispersed for consistent colour each time.

Key Ingredients

• Titanium Dioxide: provides light-reflecting coverage as part of the foundation's base pigment system.
• Panthenol: keeps the matte, silicone-forward base from feeling dry or stripped.
• Silicone Film Formers: the blend responsible for the velvet, blurred finish the shade range is known for.
