The Sculpted Secret: Makeup That Loves Your Skin

There’s a foundation that hides your skin — and then there’s Sculpted by Aimee, a beauty revolution that improves it. Created by award-winning Irish makeup artist Aimee Connolly, Sculpted’s complexion range blends makeup artistry with active skincare science. Each formula is enriched with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin E, and Peptides — so the longer you wear it, the better your skin looks.

Sculpted Cream Cushion Foundation

The Cream Cushion Foundation combines Korean skincare technology with long-wear innovation to create a breathable, glowing finish that lasts throughout the day. As this foundation includes Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Glycerin, it hydrates, brightens, and smooths the skin while providing buildable coverage that can be taken from light to medium without ever feeling heavy or cakey.

While it is not officially marketed with SPF, the formula provides a degree of natural UV defence through its mineral pigments. This gentle protection complements its skincare-focused ingredients to help maintain radiance and prevent dryness or dullness caused by environmental stress.

This foundation is especially suited to normal, dry, and mature skin. The hydrating technology restores moisture, the brightening ingredients help even tone, and the "Glow" finish enhances softness and elasticity, making the complexion look fresh rather than emphasising fine lines or dry patches.

Pro Tip: Pat gently into the skin with a puff for a naturally radiant effect, or layer for additional coverage in areas that need it.

Aimee Second Skin Foundation

Second Skin is Sculpted’s signature base, a daily complexion staple designed for skin that needs balance, comfort, and confidence. Available in Dewy (with SPF 50) for glowing protection and Matte (without SPF) for shine control, both finishes offer medium, breathable coverage that evens tone without masking the skin.

Powered by Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, and Mineral Pigments, the formula hydrates while calming sensitivity and supporting the skin barrier — making it especially well-suited to combination, oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. The Matte finish helps manage excess oil throughout the day, while the Dewy finish gives a radiant look with high-level sun defence, protecting against UV exposure that can trigger irritation, breakouts, and premature ageing.

Pro Tip: Mix Dewy and Matte together for a soft satin finish that beautifully balances glow and shine.

Sculpted HydraTint Tinted Serum

HydraTint delivers sheer, natural coverage while acting as a true skincare hybrid. With Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E, it works to even tone, support brightness, and boost hydration so the skin looks smoother and more refreshed with continued use.

The formula includes SPF 20 for light daily protection, helping shield the skin from everyday sun exposure that can contribute to dullness, dryness, and uneven tone.

HydraTint is best suited to dry, dull, uneven, and tired skin. Its hydrating ingredients replenish moisture, the tone-correcting actives give the complexion more life, and the soft wash of colour evens out subtle imperfections without settling into dryness.

Pro Tip: Apply with fingers for the most seamless, skin-like finish, or layer lightly in areas where you want a touch more coverage.

Which Sculpted Foundation Is Best for Your Skin Type?

For dry or dehydrated skin, Cream Cushion or HydraTint are ideal, as both formulas deeply moisturise and help the skin appear fuller and more comfortable throughout the day.

Those with sensitive or redness-prone skin tend to see the best results with Second Skin Dewy, thanks to its calming blend of Vitamin E and mineral pigments that help soothe and reduce visible irritation.

If skin is oily or acne-prone, Second Skin Matte offers reliable shine control while supporting clarity and helping to calm breakouts rather than trigger them.

Anyone dealing with uneven texture or a dull complexion will benefit from HydraTint or Cream Cushion, since both contain Niacinamide to refine tone and restore brightness.

Mature or tired skin often responds best to Cream Cushion or Second Skin Dewy, as these formulas help support elasticity and add a rested, healthy look.

For combination skin, mixing Second Skin Matte and Dewy creates a customised balance, keeping oil-prone areas controlled while still allowing the complexion to retain a naturally fresh finish.
