FAQs
What is the difference between the new and original Double Wear formulas?
The new formula is more breathable, lightweight, and fluid, offering 36-hour color-true wear. It also features enhanced skincare benefits like improved hydration and oil control, along with updated pigments for a more dimensional matte finish. While the shade match is similar, re-shade matching is recommended.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
Yes, it is specifically designed for all skin types and features advanced oil control that balances skin and reduces sebum production with continued use, providing a radiant matte finish.
How long does the color stay true?
The foundation offers 36 hours of color-true wear, meaning it won't fade, crease, or change color throughout the day.
Can I build up the coverage?
Yes, the formula is buildable, allowing you to achieve medium to full coverage by applying additional layers to areas that need more concealing.
Does it require a special setting powder or spray?
While it performs well on its own, using a translucent setting powder can enhance its longevity and matte finish, especially for very oily skin types. A setting spray can further lock it in.
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes, the foundation is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. It is also formulated to be safe for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
Do I need to purchase a pump separately?
Yes, the reusable pump is sold separately and is recommended for easier and more controlled application.
How does the SPF 10 protect my skin?
The SPF 10 offers minimal daily sun protection. For extended sun exposure, it is advisable to use a dedicated sunscreen underneath the foundation.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears too dry or cakey
Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application. Use a hydrating primer and allow moisturizer to fully absorb. Apply a smaller amount of foundation and blend thoroughly, or mix with a hydrating serum or primer.
Shade match seems off
The formula has been updated; it's recommended to get re-shade matched. Undertones can appear differently on the skin than in the bottle. Test the shade on your jawline in natural light.
Difficulty blending the product
Ensure you are using clean, damp tools (sponge or brush) or work in small sections. Allow the product a moment to meld with the skin before blending completely.
Foundation is not staying matte
Ensure the skin is properly prepped and free of excess oils. Use an oil-controlling primer and set with a powder, especially in the T-zone. Reapply powder as needed throughout the day.
Product transfers onto clothing
Allow the foundation to fully set for a few minutes after application. Avoid touching your face directly. Ensure you are using the correct application technique and consider setting with powder.
