Dermacol Full Coverage Matte Foundation SPF 30 — Shade 223 30g, Waterproof Long-Wear for Oily/Combination Skin

Dermacol Full Coverage Matte Foundation SPF 30 is a waterproof, long-wear liquid foundation that conceals discoloration, acne, under-eye darkness and other skin imperfections while offering a matte finish.

This compact 30g tube from Dermacol delivers high-pigment, full-coverage base makeup designed for oily and combination skin. Shade 223 provides a natural matte tone within Dermacol’s 17-shade range, created to cover blemishes, scars, tattoos and uneven color without frequent touch-ups. The formula is water-resistant and enriched with SPF 30 to help protect from daily sun exposure.

How well does this foundation hide severe discoloration and blemishes?

The formula is engineered for extreme coverage: a few small dots blended out can mask dark circles, acne marks, post-procedure redness and similar concerns. Coverage is buildable, which lets you control intensity from medium to full without a cakey look when applied sparingly.

• High-pigment cream-to-liquid texture for strong concealment
• Buildable layers let you customize coverage
• Suitable for covering tattoos and pronounced discoloration
• Matte finish reduces shine on oily areas

Will it stay put through sweat, humidity and daily wear?

Dermacol’s waterproof formula resists transfer and fading, so it maintains even coverage across a long day. It’s formulated to remain intact during normal activity and humid conditions, reducing the need for mid-day retouches.

• Waterproof and transfer-resistant performance
• Long-wear texture that adheres to skin without streaking
• Works under layers of powder or setting spray for extra hold
• One 30g tube provides many uses due to concentrated pigmentation

Is Shade 223 likely to match my skin and how many shades are available?

Dermacol offers 17 shades spanning very light to deeper tones so you can find a closer match; Shade 223 falls in the mid-range for medium skin tones with neutral-warm undertones. For best results, test near the jawline or consult online swatches and undertone guides to pick the nearest shade.

• 17-shade lineup accommodates a broad spectrum of skin tones
• Shade 223 suited for medium neutral-warm complexions
• Blend at jawline for accurate color matching in natural light
• Buildable coverage helps adjust final color depth slightly

How should I apply this foundation for a natural, long-lasting look?

Less is more with this concentrated foundation: apply a thin layer and spot-build where you need added coverage. Use a damp sponge, dense brush, or clean fingertips to press the product into skin, then set with a light dusting of translucent powder if you prefer extra mattifying.

• Apply small dots and blend outward to avoid heavy seams
• Use damp sponge for skin-like finish or brush for fuller coverage
• Set key zones (T-zone, under-eyes) with powder for longevity
• Layer very little at a time to maintain a natural matte effect

Who is this for: Dermacol Full Coverage Matte Foundation SPF 30 in Shade 223 fits anyone seeking a high-coverage, waterproof base—especially those with oily or combination skin who want a matte finish and long wear. It’s ideal for people covering post-acne marks, discoloration, under-eye darkness, or tattoos, and for those who prefer a concentrated tube that lasts through many applications. Avoid if you prefer dewy finishes or very light, sheer coverage; consider testing the shade if you are between tones or have extremely dry skin and intend to use heavy moisturizing beforehand.
