Most full-coverage foundations give you either staying power or comfort. NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Full Coverage Foundation is built to deliver both, pairing up to 24 hours of matte wear with a lightweight feel that is designed for real life, long days and high-pressure moments.

This formula relies on a blend of dimethicone and modern film-formers to create a breathable, long-wear base that adheres evenly to the skin. Silica, perlite and nylon-12 work together to absorb excess oil and diffuse light, helping to minimise the appearance of pores and uneven texture. Antioxidant vitamin E (tocopherol) helps support the skin against daily environmental stress.

The liquid texture feels fluid on application, then sets to a modern matte finish that locks in place. It is designed to offer buildable, full coverage without feeling heavy or tight on the skin. Once set, it aims to resist transfer, shine and breakdown from morning through night.

Apply a small amount and build gradually, focusing coverage where you want it most. Blend quickly, as the formula is designed to set fast for long wear. For a softer look, use a damp sponge; for maximum coverage, opt for a flat or dense foundation brush.

Advanced film-forming polymers support up to 24 hours of wear with a flexible, lightweight feel.Oil-absorbing minerals such as silica and perlite help manage excess shine throughout the day.Soft-focus powders, including nylon-12 and synthetic fluorphlogopite, visibly smooth the look of pores and texture.Water-in-silicone system promotes even pigment dispersion for consistent, full coverage with less product.

For best results, pair with a gripping primer from NYX Professional Makeup to enhance longevity, then set with a complementary loose or pressed powder. Finish with a setting spray from the same range to further lock in coverage and maintain a fresh matte finish for longer.

A long-wear, full-coverage foundation that balances matte control, comfort and consistency from first application to last call.

• Step 1. Prep skin with a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser and allow it to fully absorb.
• Step 2. Apply a thin layer of primer to areas prone to shine or fading, then let it set for a minute.
• Step 3. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a palette.
• Step 4. Dot foundation onto the face, concentrating on the centre and any areas needing more coverage.
• Step 5. Blend outwards using a brush, sponge or fingertips, working in sections as the formula sets quickly.
• Step 6. Allow the foundation to set, then lightly press setting powder over areas that tend to become oily.

Pro Tips

• Work in thin layers, building coverage only where needed to avoid a heavy finish.
• Use a damp sponge around the edges of the face to soften lines and create a seamless blend.
• Set only targeted areas with powder if you prefer a more natural-looking matte finish.
• Blot rather than rub during the day to maintain coverage while managing any surface shine.
