Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon first use, shake the bottle gently to ensure the formula is well-mixed. Dispense a small pump onto the back of your hand or directly onto your preferred application tool.
Compatibility
This foundation is generally formulated to be compatible with various skin types.
- Normal to Combination Skin: Often finds this foundation performs exceptionally well.
- Oily Skin: May benefit from a mattifying primer underneath to further control shine.
- Dry Skin: Should ensure thorough hydration and potentially use a hydrating primer to prevent any dry patches from being emphasized.
- Sensitive Skin: As with any new cosmetic product, a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the jawline) is recommended to check for any adverse reactions before full facial application.
Care
- Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and longevity.
- Hygiene: Always ensure your application tools (brushes, sponges) are clean before use. Regularly wash tools with a gentle cleanser and allow them to air dry thoroughly. This prevents bacterial buildup and ensures smooth, hygienic application.
- Expiration: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by an open jar icon with a number (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), which suggests how long the product is good for after opening.
