Troubleshooting
Foundation appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure skin is well-prepped and moisturized. Use a damp beauty sponge or a dense brush for seamless blending. Apply in thin layers and build coverage gradually.
Matte finish looks too flat or dry.
Ensure skin is adequately hydrated before application. Consider applying a hydrating primer. Use a dewy setting spray or strategically apply a liquid/cream highlighter to areas like the cheekbones for a more dimensional look.
Foundation is not lasting the full 36 hours.
Ensure the skin is properly prepped and the foundation is fully set. For very oily skin, a light dusting of setting powder, especially in the T-zone, can help extend wear. Reapplication might be necessary for extended periods or extreme conditions.
Product feels heavy on the skin.
Apply a thinner layer. This foundation is buildable, so start with a minimal amount and add more only where needed. Ensure you are using a tool that helps blend the product seamlessly without depositing too much at once.
