When you purchase a full size of our foundation, we currently include the tester sachet in the same shade as well as the next lighter and darker shade with your order.
If you're new to the foundation, you can test your chosen shade first in the sachet. It's also much easier for you if you need to exchange it, as the original size remains unopened and you can easily find out which shade suits you best using the other tester sizes.

Skin-loving foundation
Natural foundation for makeup
Shine a beauty light on LIETH, a lightweight foundation that provides natural coverage, nourishes, and instantly blends into the skin. Its name says it all, meaning both "light" and "light." This foundation, as a makeup base, supports the evenness of a wide variety of skin tones. Nine colors, each in five cool and warm shades, create the perfect tone for every complexion. All LIETH siblings are vegan, and as natural cosmetic foundations, they are naturally BDIH and largely Cosmos Organic certified, and are designed to always impress with a healthy freshness.
This works brilliantly thanks to the plant-based pigments. While a foundation from conventional cosmetics must precisely match the respective skin tone due to the synthetic colors used, the organically derived pigments of a natural cosmetics foundation adapt to every complexion. This is why conventional color cosmetics offer such an enormous selection of colors – which our best foundation can easily do without. This – a nice side effect – makes the selection so much easier for fans of UND GRETEL! And it reduces the burden on resources, thus making the world a little bit better.
Tone on tone: The best foundation for every complexion
A quick look at the inner forearm will help determine which undertone UND GRETEL Foundation LIETH is designed to support. If the veins there have a blue-violet shimmer, the coverage foundation is more likely to be found in the cool shades. These formulations have significantly more pink and blue pigments. If the veins have a slightly greenish hue, the suitable foundation would be one with warm shades: they have a higher proportion of yellow-gold pigments. Sometimes the vein color lies somewhere in between, in which case the undertones of both foundations match.
If you're buying a natural cosmetics foundation from UND GRETEL for the first time, it's best to take it straight into the bathroom, shake it well, and pump a few pumps over the sink. This will help your new makeup foundation find its way out of the bottle. LIETH is best applied using clean fingers instead of a brush. Simply apply it like a lotion, allowing the warmth of your hands to help LIETH melt into your skin. This again eliminates the need for extra tools like makeup brushes or beauty blenders. The nourishing oils, waxes, plant extracts, and highly pigmented mineral color pigments in our natural foundation only come into contact with the skin.
And of course, LIETH can do what every good foundation should: achieve stronger coverage by reapplying it, without making the look look pasty. LIETH can be layered, meaning you can build it up to the desired coverage. Simply wait a few seconds until the first layer is dry on the skin, then apply a small amount to specific areas that require additional coverage for total coverage. Pat it in with your fingers, and you're done. LIETH is particularly easy to use as a natural cosmetics base, as natural makeup pigments can always be combined and complemented. Throughout the year, for example, every face looks paler or tanner at times. That's why it's best to buy LIETH in packs of two. You can always mix two shades to create a shade that's up to date for the day.
Applying makeup with foundation: This is how the pros do it
Even the best makeup base creates even more beautiful looks when a professional team gets involved. Here are a few tips from UND GRETEL's artist pool:
- Happy Layering: As described, you can apply LIETH with your hands like a cream. This instantly evens out your complexion and gives it a beautiful glow. The second or even third layer should then be applied using a dabbing motion with your fingertips. This step allows you to cover specific areas in a targeted manner. In short: Applying with your fingers achieves light coverage. Dab-ing generally results in more intense coverage.
- Get rid of large pores: To visually reduce pores, work the vegan foundation well and precisely into the pores with your fingertips.
- Body painting: LIETH can also be applied all over the body. In warmer weather, for example, you might want to show off skin in the spring—skin that's still largely pale from winter. As long as the sun isn't yet able to tan (or if you don't want to expose your skin to UV radiation for health reasons), the LIETH shade SUMMER is perfect for giving legs in a dress that Ibiza-by-the-beach look.
- Blend the jawline: No matter how skin-matching a natural foundation is, it should always be applied to the so-called "full face." Apply LIETH with your fingers along the jawline, the base of the neck, and the ear area to blend the foundation slightly.
LIETH also benefits from its skin-tolerance and nourishing ingredients. A friendly foundation for dry skin might contain ingredients like avocado oil or clary sage: In LIETH, these ingredients unleash cell-protecting, antioxidant, and skin-moisturizing properties. As a foundation for oily skin, it benefits from white clay and chamomile extract: The medicinal plant soothes and also has anti-inflammatory properties. This makes LIETH naturally also ideal as a foundation for combination skin. LIETH, which won the 2021 PETA Vegan Beauty Award, is available as tester sachets so you can easily determine skin tolerability and find the perfect shade.
