FAQs

How much product should I use for general concealing?

You should use an extremely tiny amount, often just a pin-sized dot or even less. This product is highly concentrated, so a little goes a very long way for effective coverage.

Can I use this as a full-face foundation?

Yes, you can, but it's recommended to mix a very small amount (e.g., half a pea-size) with your favorite moisturizer, serum, or liquid primer. This will help thin it out and achieve a more natural, comfortable full-face coverage without it feeling too heavy.

Is the Sensual Skin Enhancer suitable for oily skin?

Yes, it is suitable for all skin types. For oily skin, it's recommended to ensure your skin is well-prepped and consider setting the product with a light dusting of translucent powder, especially in your T-zone, for maximum oil control and longevity.

How do I choose the correct shade for my skin?

It is best to test shades directly on your jawline or cheek area in natural light. For concealing, aim for a shade that perfectly matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter to brighten. For correcting, a slightly warmer tone than your skin might be beneficial.

Will this product crease under my eyes?

The formula is designed to resist creasing and settling into fine lines. For optimal results, ensure you apply a very thin layer under the eyes, blend it thoroughly, and if desired, lightly set with a minimal amount of translucent powder.

What are the benefits of the ingredients like jojoba oil and vitamin E?

The Sensual Skin Enhancer is infused with jojoba oil, vitamin E, and honey. These ingredients are included to help moisturize, condition, and protect the skin, contributing to comfortable wear and a healthy-looking finish while providing excellent coverage.

What kind of finish does this product have?

It provides a long-lasting, luminous coverage. It's not matte, but rather offers a natural, healthy-looking radiance to the skin.

Troubleshooting

Product looks caked or heavy on the skin.

The Sensual Skin Enhancer is extremely pigmented. You are likely using too much. Reduce the amount significantly (start with half a pinhead size). Blend thoroughly with a damp sponge or stippling brush, focusing on tapping and pressing the product into the skin rather than rubbing.

Product is hard to blend or feels too thick.

Warm a tiny amount on the back of your hand with your fingertip or a clean spatula for a few seconds. This makes it more pliable. Alternatively, for a thinner consistency, mix a pea-sized amount with a drop of facial oil, serum, or moisturizer before application.

The shade appears incorrect or oxidizes after application.

Ensure you are applying the product in good, natural lighting for accurate color assessment. If the shade is slightly off, you can try mixing it with a foundation you already own to adjust. If it consistently oxidizes, ensure your skin is properly prepped with a non-oxidizing primer and set with a suitable powder.

Coverage isn't lasting as long as expected.

Ensure your skin is prepped and moisturized appropriately. For extended wear, apply the product in thin layers, allow it to set, and then lightly dust with a translucent setting powder, especially in areas prone to creasing or oiliness. Avoid excessive touching of your face.

Product is settling into fine lines or creasing.

Apply an extremely thin layer in areas prone to creasing, such as under the eyes. Blend thoroughly until seamless. Lightly set the area with a very fine, translucent powder applied with a soft brush to help lock it in place without adding texture.

Pros and Cons

  • Exceptional Full Coverage: Effectively covers a wide range of imperfections, including blemishes, dark circles, and tattoos.
  • Waterproof & Long-Lasting: Ensures your perfected complexion stays put through moisture and throughout the day.

  • Contains Skincare Benefits: Infused with jojoba oil, vitamin E, and honey to moisturize and protect the skin.

Cons

  • Shade Matching Can Be Tricky: With 16 shades, finding the absolute perfect match might require careful testing.
  • Unique Application Technique: May require a slightly different application approach compared to traditional liquid products due to its thick consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and routine care will ensure you get the most out of your Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer - SX 04.

Application Tips

  • Start Small: Always begin with the absolute smallest amount of product you think you'll need. It's much easier to add more than to take away.
  • Warm It Up: If the product feels stiff, warm a tiny amount on the back of your hand with your finger or a spatula for a few seconds. This can make it more pliable and easier to blend.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Whether using fingers, a brush, or a sponge, ensure the product is fully blended into the skin for a seamless, natural finish. Patting motions often work best for concealing.
  • Layer Thinly: For heavier coverage needs, apply in very thin layers, allowing each to set slightly before adding the next.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: This product is suitable for all skin types. For drier skin, mixing it with a hydrating serum or moisturizer can enhance blendability and provide a more comfortable, dewy finish. For oilier skin, setting with a light powder may be beneficial to extend wear and control shine.
  • Layering: It layers well with most liquid, cream, and powder products. It can be applied over skincare, primers, and under or over foundations, depending on your desired effect.

Care & Storage

  • Keep Lid Tight: Always ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its efficacy.
  • Storage: Store the Sensual Skin Enhancer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can alter its consistency.
  • Hygiene: Use clean applicators (brushes, sponges) every time to prevent bacterial contamination and ensure optimal product performance. Regularly clean your makeup tools.
