Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Tips
- Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a primer if you desire extended wear or to address specific skin concerns (e.g., pore blurring).
- Dispense Product: Pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your chosen application tool.
- Apply Evenly: Using a foundation brush, makeup sponge, or your fingertips, apply the foundation starting from the center of your face and blending outwards. Pay special attention to your jawline, hairline, and neck to avoid harsh lines.
- Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second thin layer by gently patting the product.
- Set (Optional): If you have oily skin or desire longer wear, lightly dust with a translucent setting powder.
Compatibility
This foundation is generally compatible with most liquid and cream primers and setting sprays. For optimal results, consider pairing it with other Lancome skincare and makeup products. It's often well-suited for normal, dry, or combination skin types looking for a radiant finish. Users with very oily skin might need to use a mattifying primer and setting powder.
Care and Storage
- Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve its formulation.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers if possible. Clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (an open jar with a number and 'M' for months) on the packaging, typically 12-24 months, for how long the product is safe to use after opening.
