Ben Nye water-based Color Cake Foundations offer a sophisticated approach to traditional pancake makeup. Developed by a former Max Factor chemist, Ben Nye's bases appear natural without chalkiness. Ben Nye produces 40 shades to maximize Ben Nye's options. Neutral-beige and olive toned offer a variety and subtlety not previously available in Cake. Resistant to heat and perspiration, Color Cake is excellent in humid conditions and preferred as body makeup by dancers who give makeup a real workout. This foundation alternative is also great for sensitive and oilier complexions.
