Weleda Skin Food was invented in 1926, and the formulation has remained the same ever since.
Formulated with a nourishing blend of calendula, chamomile, pansy, and sweet almond oil, this all-natural blend harnesses the power of plant extracts to balance your skin’s moisture levels and has gained quite a celebrity following.
Being incredibly nourishing, Skin Food has received love from renowned makeup artists like Katie Jane Hughes and Pati Dubroff who will use it as a face cream on their star clients.
We hear that Rihanna has previously requested a tube or two with her manicurist prior to getting lacquered up, while others like Victoria Beckham, Adele and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swear by this product.
Aside from that, we discovered four Malaysian makeup artists who also love using this nourishing cream as a makeup base. So, let’s find out their secret as to how they prep a good base that lasts a long time!
“I love using Weleda to create a smooth and plump base. However, I make sure to hydrate the skin with a few layers of humectants first, be it essence or watery serum and massage onto the face. When the skin is slightly sticky, I’ll take one pea size amount of Weleda Skin Food, warm it up in between my palms, and gently press it all over the face with my hands,” said Nabilah Mohamed Nordin (@warnabilla on Instagram).
For application over makeup, Nabilla uses a bit of Weleda Skin Food on the high points of the face, on top of highlighters to make the product melt into the skin. It will make the glow more realistic and give a subtle dewy finish.
She also shared what she loved about the cream: “The rich, and all-natural ingredients in the formula. Not only that, I love that Weleda is not a cosmetic brand but actually, a pharmaceutical brand with skin-nourishing benefits that I know will protect and improve the skin over time. It’s also a super versatile product to be paired with makeup where you can use it before or after makeup application. Truly, an overall winning product!”
“I use Weleda Skin Food as a makeup base since the texture is thick and a bit sticky when applied on the skin. It will make the makeup look prettier and last longer,” explained Siti (@titiwiyah on Instagram).
Since she is mainly doing bridal makeup, it’s essential to start her makeup routine with a strong base, making it last longer, especially for her bridal clients. Psst, she uses Skin Food on all of her clients.
To achieve a glass skin look, she will mix the product with oil or light moisturiser. She is also an avid user of Weleda herself, but she prefers Skin Food Light.
Although Tengku Amelia Hani (@misstengkumia on Instagram) mixes the cream with any primer that she wants, she usually uses it with Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer. She applies it as skin prepping before makeup only, not for her skincare routine.
A little goes a long way. For Nur Batrishia Nordin (@bettyshaaaa on Instagram), Skin Food has a very thick texture and gives your skin the hydration you need by applying a tiny amount to the whole face.
“I use Weleda as prepping for myself and my clients (brides, artists and others), especially those who have very dry, flaky and eczema-prone skin. Trust me, the flaky skin will be gone once you use this.”
She also shared what she loves about the cream: “The hydration that the cream provides is more than enough, and it never goes wrong with any skin. The smell is a big yes; a bonus is that it is free from any harsh chemicals. I can swear by this product!”
Now we know how the four Malaysian makeup artists get a stunning makeup base!
