Sample set - face foundations

A set of Careup face foundation samples (1 ml each) to help you find your perfect foundation shade.

Cream or foundation? You no longer have to choose - go for Careup!

This is not just another foundation, BB or CC cream. It's a whole new category in the beauty world that makes your skin look as if you had just applied a rich cream, while perfectly evening out its tone.
Careup foundation allows for easy, comfortable application and blending with a sponge, brush or fingers. It doesn't settle into fine lines, doesn't clog pores and doesn't weigh the skin down.
It provides light to medium, buildable coverage. There's no "mask" effect, and the natural finish leaves skin looking luminous and radiant, as if after a rich cream. It offers standard wear - no base/primer or powder needed to make it last.
Careup natural foundation visibly evens out skin tone and effectively covers imperfections - reducing the visibility of discolouration, redness and pores.
It moisturises (9.6% increase), firms (6.4% increase) and leaves skin soft and pleasant to the touch.

A natural face foundation that moisturises and firms like a cream

The Careup line of natural foundations brings makeup and skincare together.
Foundations that don't pretend, don't promise miracles, don't pose as sunscreens and don't fill in wrinkles. Instead, they let your skin be the best version of itself and look like skin - natural, fresh and healthy, as after good skincare.
The ingredients of natural origin in Careup face foundations mean they don't just beautify, but also moisturise and improve skin elasticity, as confirmed by tests:
- 9.6% increase in skin hydration,
- 6.4% increase in skin firmness.

Apply the foundation with your fingers, a brush or a sponge.
Use a stippling motion, working from the centre of the face outwards. If needed, pick up more foundation and repeat.
To mattify and further set your makeup, finish with a loose powder.

TIP: Applying Careup with your fingers gives a fresh, natural look. On areas that need it (more redness or a need for stronger coverage), you can add a little extra foundation (ideally with a small sponge or brush).
PRO TIP from Aleks San Sebastian - Make-up Artist: "Use Careup to 'soften' heavier foundations - mix Careup with a high-coverage, dry foundation to give your makeup a lighter feel and a natural glow."

The foundation is great for my dry skin. I'll definitely buy the large size.
I'm taking off one star because I'm forced to order 6 shades. I'd rather choose 3-4, because 50 and 60 are definitely too dark for me. And unfortunately they'll end up in the bin, because I have no one to give them to. And I hate throwing money away.

You have to learn how to work with it because it's thick, a bit like a paste, definitely not like drugstore foundations. It's high-coverage (which is great for me) but the coverage is also buildable. I have skin prone to oiliness, I always use full-coverage, mattifying foundations to mask imperfections, and I was surprised that with such a texture this foundation doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the skin, it lasts surprisingly long and I can't feel it on my skin at all. It doesn't give a matte finish, but my skin doesn't shine either, it just looks natural and fresh. For me this is a huge surprise because, to be honest, I ordered these samples expecting it to be yet another failed attempt at switching to more natural makeup products.

5 stars to start with for the option to buy samples:) The product itself is really interesting, but as is often the case with makeup, it's hard to make something universal for every complexion. I expected it to be a lighter, more liquid product. The consistency is rich, more creamy, and the product leaves a dewy finish that fades a bit during the day. I used it with less and more mattifying powders (with the latter the glow is smaller but still there). During the day, after blotting the sebum, it still stays on the face and my complexion looks good. There's no mask effect at all, the coverage is buildable but only up to medium at most. Probably not for oily skin, I have combination, mature skin myself. I have the impression it looks even better during the day than right after application (after using a blotting paper:). Shades: the first 3 are definitely too light for me. I'm choosing 40 for myself, although I expect it may be a tad too dark in winter. I also tested 60 and 50 and even though they're so tanned, they definitely didn't give an orange effect. 10, on the other hand, is a greyish shade like some Korean BB creams have:)

I love Ministerstwo, half my bathroom is from them and I was waiting for this product. With great regret - it's not for me. I was hoping for a light, moisturising, tinted BB cream, but this is a draggy, hard-to-spread, full-coverage foundation. The finish is shiny, not great for oily/combination skin. Choosing the shade isn't easy, so testers are a must, but 25 zł for 6 micro-samples, of which maybe one will suit you, is just too much. This is my first negative review :( I'll keep dreaming of a lighter tinted MDM formula.

FAQ

Questions and answers about the product

Are Careup face foundations scented?
Careup foundations are fragrance-free. Although the shade names may suggest sweet scents, don't be fooled - we deliberately don't use any fragrances in these formulas :)
How long do the foundations last?
Careup foundations offer standard wear - they stay on the skin long enough without the need for a base or primer.
What finish do the foundations have?
In search of the perfect finish for our face foundations, we focused on avoiding the mattifying effect you get, for example, with powder. We wanted the most natural finish possible - a glow that gives the face radiance while making it feel as if there's no foundation on at all. That's why our foundations have a "dewy" finish with a subtle sheen, like after a rich cream or face oil.
What coverage do Careup foundations have?
Ministerstwo face foundations offer good coverage - from light to medium. They even out skin tone, cover what needs covering and still look as if they're barely there. We wanted to avoid the mask effect, and we succeeded.
Can Careup foundation coverage be built up?
Yes, absolutely! The first layer gives light coverage that evens out skin tone and covers redness and imperfections without weighing the skin down. Your skin will still look natural, as after a cream or oil. With further layers you can build more coverage, which makes a perfect base for bolder makeup.
Which skin types are Careup foundations suitable for?
Careup foundations are designed for every skin type, as long as you love a creamy glow on your face :) You can always adjust the final effect to your makeup preferences with the amount of foundation applied, its shade or finish.
Are Careup foundations easy to apply?
The lightweight formula of Careup foundations makes application very easy - they don't pill, don't streak and don't settle into fine lines. You can apply them effortlessly with your fingers, a sponge or a brush.
Can a makeup beginner handle applying Careup foundations?
From experience, we can say yes! When designing our face foundation line, we looked for a solution that would meet the demands of professional makeup artists while being easy enough for people with no makeup experience. Careup foundations leave no mask effect and don't strip the skin of its texture and expression - so makeup beginners can rest easy :) Most importantly, you don't need a brush or sponge to apply them - your fingers are enough.
Who are the face foundations for?
Careup foundations are for everyone who likes to feel good in their own skin. Our mission is to make the need for well-cared-for, hydrated, healthy-looking skin go hand in hand with an even skin tone and a very natural makeup effect. It's the answer for people who want to combine skincare with a capital S with everyday makeup, while keeping it light and natural.
What makes Careup foundations stand out on the market?
Our foundations stand out above all for their highly natural formula and their concentration of nourishing active ingredients, such as fermented Yerba Santa extract, aloe vera gel, pentavitin and mastic resin, combined with some of our favourite ingredients - plant-based squalane, vitamin C and sweet almond oil. Thanks to these naturally derived ingredients, our foundations don't just beautify your skin, they also hydrate it and improve its elasticity, as confirmed by clinical testing (a 9.6% increase in skin hydration and a 6.4% increase in skin firmness).
Will everyone find their shade?
While developing our foundations, we spent by far the most time creating shades that would suit as many people as possible - from a light, cool beige with a pinkish-grey undertone (No. 10 - Rose Macaron) to the decidedly warm No. 60 - Cinnamon Roll, the deepest shade in the range. The Careup line also includes beiges with yellow and peach undertones. Our Careup foundations "work" with your skin - each shade may behave differently depending on your natural skin tone and individual skin pH. That's why we introduced an unusual shade-marking system on the stickers placed on the foundation boxes. Each box carries a two-tone sticker - the shade sits between those two tones. Our foundations are easy to mix together to create your perfect shade, and we warmly encourage you to try this in our stores or by ordering foundation samples online.
How do Careup foundations differ from BB/CC creams?
Careup by Ministerstwo is a new category on the cosmetics market. Its formula is nothing like BB or CC products. We wanted to create a foundation that cares for your skin while evening out its tone and covering imperfections without a mask-like effect. It gives a natural finish and applies effortlessly, without pilling or streaking. It's suitable for beginners and professionals alike.
Can Careup face foundations be combined with other Ministerstwo cosmetics?
Yes, absolutely! Of course, it all depends on your individual skincare needs. If you love richer creams, our oils or oil serums (e.g. Rose-Raspberry, Rice), wait a moment after applying them so they absorb well before applying Careup foundation. If you prefer lighter skincare or have oily or problematic skin, you can choose the Sugar serum or the light H2O cream as a base for our foundation. We encourage you to order samples (or a sample set of all shades) of our foundations and pair them with your favourite products from our range to find your perfect routine.
Do Careup foundations contain UV filters?
Hydrocolor C+ foundations do not contain sunscreen filters. This stems from our decision to make a highly natural, lightweight, easy-to-use, medium-coverage foundation the cornerstone of the Ministerstwo makeup line. Achieving these properties together with adequate sun protection would require formulating with synthetic filters. We appreciate synthetic filters for their effectiveness and safety, but using them would drastically lower the product's naturalness. A natural alternative - mineral filters - would, in turn, significantly change the foundation's character, making it heavier, greasier and highly covering. So we chose naturalness, functionality and great performance for the Careup foundation line, and we recommend applying your favourite SPF beforehand. Perhaps in the future we will introduce another foundation line designed to combine colour with sun protection. But that's a whole different story.
Do I need a sponge or brush to apply the foundations?
No, you don't need a sponge or brush to apply our foundations - your hands are enough :) Careup foundations apply beautifully with fingers, as well as with a sponge or brush.
Do the individual foundation shades differ in composition?
The formulas of the individual foundations differ mainly in pigment concentration. Their base, however, is very similar.
Is the glycerin in the foundations plant-based?
Yes, the glycerin in our face foundations is a plant-derived ingredient (produced from Karanja seeds).
