Troubleshooting
Foundation appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Shake the product well before application. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge or a denser brush for a more seamless blend. Apply in thinner layers and build up coverage.
Matte finish looks too dry or flat.
Use a hydrating primer before application and a hydrating moisturizer. Apply a facial mist after application to add a touch of dewiness. Consider mixing a drop of liquid highlighter into the foundation for a subtle glow.
Product feels heavy on the skin.
Use less product and focus on applying only where needed, then blend outwards. Ensure you are not over-applying, as the coverage is buildable and a little goes a long way.
Difficulty finding the exact shade match.
Utilize online shade finder tools if available, or consult with a beauty advisor in-store or online. Consider purchasing a travel size to test a shade before committing to a larger size.
