Therapium VELOURIS™ Smoothing Foundation — 45 Deep Warm

Velvety semi-matte coverage in shade 45 Deep Warm.

A deep shade with a golden cast formulated with hexapeptide-11, organic aloe juice and mineral pigments, in a 30 ml tube.

What it does

  • Rich golden-bronze coverage for deep skin — mineral pigments in shade 45 Deep Warm unify deep complexions with warm red, golden and bronze undertones.
  • Velvety, self-setting semi-matte finish — kaolin and rice starch absorb surface shine, so the texture sets on its own and does not need powdering over.
  • Hydration in the formula — organic aloe leaf juice heads the list, with glycerin and sodium PCA, to help skin feel comfortable under the foundation.
  • 11Hexapeptide-11 peptide
  • 30 mleasy-to-dose tube
  • 10calibrated shades

How to use

A lightweight liquid foundation in shade 45 Deep Warm, blending mineral pigments, organic aloe and kaolin for buildable semi-matte coverage on warm deep skin.

Visible benefits

Hydration

  • Light moisture without weight — butylene glycol attracts water to the surface.

Texture & pores

  • Smooth, even blending — organic beeswax and lecithin hold the texture together, so it glides on and blends evenly.
  • Less shine, more refined-looking pores — kaolin clay absorbs excess oil.
  • A velvety, matte feel — rice starch absorbs surface shine.
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel — light plant-derived emollients.

Soothing & comfort

  • A soothing, refreshing feel — aloe leaf juice comforts the skin as it hydrates.

Barrier & protection

  • A protective, comforting feel — beeswax forms a breathable layer that helps keep moisture in.

Key ingredients

  1. Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice Formula base

    provides fresh hydration

  2. Kaolin Mineral clay

    absorbs excess shine for a semi-matte finish

  3. Glycerin Humectant

    attracts moisture into the upper skin layers

  4. Sodium PCA Natural moisturising factor component

    binds water

  5. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch Plant starch

    supports self-setting, soft-focus texture

  6. Cera Alba (Beeswax) Organic beeswax

    gives body and flexibility (not vegan)

  7. Hexapeptide-11 Peptide

    skin conditioning (small amount, position 30)

  8. Sodium Hyaluronate Hyaluronic acid salt

    surface hydration (small amount)

What the science says

Aloe vera — In research on moisturising creams, versions containing aloe raised the water content of the outermost skin layer after 2 weeks, compared with the same cream without aloe. [1]

Glycerin — Research on glycerin found that it improves hydration of the outermost skin layer, the skin's moisture barrier and its softness and suppleness. [2]

These studies look at aloe and glycerin in general, not at our foundation. Organic aloe leaf juice is the first ingredient and glycerin is ingredient 8 of 46. Hexapeptide-11 is ingredient 30, after the fragrance, and the two forms of hyaluronic acid are 32 and 33, so they are present in small amounts and we do not credit them with a visible effect. Kaolin and rice starch soak up surface shine; we make no claim about oil regulation. Contains beeswax, so it is not vegan.

These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.

Your routine

  1. Warm a small amount on the back of your hand.
  2. Press onto the centre of the face and blend outwards using fingertips, a foundation brush or a damp sponge.
  3. Build a second thin layer where more coverage is desired.
  4. Allow the semi-matte texture to set naturally; dust with translucent powder only if a flatter finish is preferred.

Who it's for

Deep complexions with warm golden, bronze or reddish undertones looking for buildable semi-matte coverage in shade 45 Deep Warm. Contains beeswax and citrus peel oils, so it is not vegan.

Good to know

  • Shade: 45 Deep Warm, the ninth of ten. Every shade shares the same formula and the same INCI list — only the pigment load changes.
  • Contains organic beeswax, so it is not vegan. The concealer is.
  • The citrus peel oils bring naturally occurring fragrance allergens with them — limonene, linalool and citral are declared on the list.
  • How to choose a shade without seeing it covers the undertone tests in more detail.

Is this your shade?

Warm at deep depth — red, golden or bronze undertones rather than neutral or blue. On deep skin a neutral foundation over warm undertones reads flat and slightly grey, which is exactly the gap 45 fills.

  • Flash photography. Titanium dioxide reflects camera flash efficiently, and on deep skin that shows as a pale cast. It is a property of mineral pigment, not a shade error — use less product on the high points and skip a titanium-heavy setting powder.
  • Concealer note, honestly. Our concealer stops at 35 Deep Neutral, and it is neutral. 35 is the closest we make for both under-eye and blemishes at this depth, rather than an exact undertone match. That is a limit of the concealer range, and it is better known before ordering than after.
  • If you are between shades — take the lighter one. Buildable formula, and oxidation moves darker.
  • Either side — 40 Deep Neutral is the same depth without the gold, 50 Deep Cool is the deepest and cool.

Scent

A light citrus note, from bergamot, lemon and bitter orange peel oils.

Questions

The questions people actually ask

Short answers from what is printed on the pack. If what you need is not here, ask us before you buy rather than after.

Answers refer to the formula printed on the pack you receive.

How should I apply VELOURIS™ Smoothing Foundation?

Warm a small amount on the back of your hand. Press onto the centre of the face and blend outwards with fingers, a brush or a damp sponge. Build a second thin layer where you want more coverage.

Is shade 45 Deep Warm right for me?

Shade 45 Deep Warm is a deep shade with a golden cast, providing the warm option at the deep end of the range. If you are between shades, take the lighter one and let the second thin layer build coverage.

Does this foundation need to be set with powder?

No. Natural kaolin clay and rice starch allow the texture to set by itself to a semi-matte finish. You only need powder over it if you prefer a flatter finish.

Which skin types is it suitable for?

It is suitable for all skin types. Kaolin and rice starch provide a semi-matte finish, while organic aloe juice, hyaluronic acid and beeswax keep skin feeling comfortable.

Does it contain fragrance?

It has a light citrus note from bergamot, lemon and bitter orange peel oils. Limonene, linalool and citral occur naturally in these essential oils and are declared on the label.

Is it vegan?

It contains organic beeswax, so it is not vegan.

How much product is in the pack?

30 ml, in an easy-to-dose tube.
