PRE-ORDER | The Baseline Face Collection

$175.00

PRE-ORDER NOW AVAILABLE: The Baseline Face Collection is currently in production and expected to ship within 4 weeks. Pre-ordering reserves your collection from this next production run before it becomes available for general sale. Your order will ship as soon as the new inventory arrives, and you’ll receive tracking information once it’s on its way.

For the days when completely bare doesn’t feel like quite enough—but a full face of makeup feels like too much.

The Baseline Face Collection is a simple, foolproof complexion system designed to make you look more awake, healthy, radiant and defined—without looking noticeably made up.

Instead of covering the complexion with a uniform layer of makeup, the Baseline Face restores four elements that give a face its natural dimension:

Light. Depth. Radiance. Definition.

Four skincare-first formulas use cream- and wax-based textures with just enough mineral pigment to create a visible cosmetic effect while still allowing your actual skin to show through.

Blend and buff with the included Signature Blending Brush, and everything comes together as one seamless, natural-looking face.

4 products. 4 minutes. One step above no makeup.

Wear the Baseline Face on its own, or use it as the starting point for whatever comes next. It isn’t necessarily where your makeup ends. It’s where it can begin.

THE COLLECTION

Instant Awake
A sheer complexion brightener made with ultramarine-pink pigment to visually counteract the gray and brown tones that can leave the face looking dull or tired. Intentionally translucent, it can be blended wherever you want more light—or sheered across the entire complexion—without the opacity of traditional color correction.

Depth Definer
Not quite bronzer. Not quite contour. This highly pigmented neutral-bronze cream restores depth, warmth and dimension without looking obviously bronzed or contoured. Use as bronzer, contour, blush or eyeshadow.

Skin Enhancer
A skincare-first royal jelly complexion balm with approximately 35% opacity. Translucent mineral pigment softens visual noise without masking the skin, while botanical oils and conditioning waxes seal in moisture for a supple, luminous finish.

Perfect Lips
A universal nude lip liner designed to restore missing pigmentation along the natural vermilion border. Its nuanced pigment calibrates with the tones already present in the lips, while an intentionally grippy, natural-wax formula works into the lip line for definition without the look of obvious liner.

Signature Blending Brush
A dual-ended complexion brush designed to work the Baseline Face seamlessly into the skin. Use the larger end to blend and diffuse; use the shorter, denser end to buff pigment until edges disappear.

Essentialist Method Monogrammed Pouch
The complete collection arrives in an ivory velvet pouch finished with the Essentialist Method monogram.

Restores the visual cues of a naturally healthy-looking face—light, depth, radiance and definition—without relying on traditional foundation.

• Creates a more awake, even-looking complexion
• Restores natural dimension without heavy contour
• Blurs and softens the appearance of uneven texture
• Helps seal in moisture for a supple, skin-like finish
• Restores definition to the natural lip line
• Designed to work in sheer layers so your real skin remains visible

THE BASELINE FACE METHOD

Use as a simple underpainting technique to restore the natural elements of the face before adding coverage.

STEP 1: RESTORE LIGHT — INSTANT AWAKE
Apply a thin veil around the eye area and anywhere the face naturally benefits from light: between the brows and along the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, chin and smile lines. Lightly dab over areas of discoloration on the cheeks as needed. Blend very well until it becomes nearly imperceptible.

STEP 2: RESTORE DEPTH — DEPTH DEFINER
Apply wherever you want to bring natural dimension back to the face. Use as eyeshadow, bronzer, blush or soft contour. Blend until the color appears to come from the skin rather than sit on top of it.

STEP 3: RESTORE RADIANCE + SEAL — SKIN ENHANCER
Press or blend a thin veil over the skin to soften and blur the previous layers while adding a healthy-looking finish and helping seal in moisture. A little goes a long way.

STEP 4: ADD SOFT DEFINITION — PERFECT LIPS
Trace the natural lip border where pigmentation has faded, then softly blend inward for an undetectable finish. Perfect Lips can also be used sparingly along the lower lash line for subtle definition if the shade works with your coloring.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN
The Baseline Face Method is designed to be flexible. Use all four steps, apply each product individually wherever needed, or begin with Skin Enhancer on bare skin and add Instant Awake, Depth Definer and Perfect Lips only where you want more light, dimension or definition.
