SOLID FOUNDATION

Canadian beauty entrepreneur Susanne Langmuir is turning her expertise in custom cosmetics made with botanical ingredients to Lixr, a new beauty brand focused on foundation. “My breakthrough beauty innovation is custom-made foundation that fuses skincare and makeup,” Langmuir says of her Future Foundation, which is available in a serum and a stick formula. In addition to the foundation products, the Lixr lineup includes a selection of lip colours and body items made with many ingredients grown on Langmuir’s Ontario farm. The star ingredient? Calendula, a flower that Langmuir says offers skin soothing and reparative benefits.
