FAQs

How do I choose the right shade?

Consider your skin's undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) and match the foundation to your skin's color on your jawline. If possible, test different shades in natural light.

How should I apply the foundation?

You can apply the foundation with a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingertips. A damp sponge will give a more natural finish.

Is this foundation good for dry skin?

Yes, the foundation contains moisturizing oils that can benefit dry skin. However, it's essential to prep your skin with a good moisturizer beforehand.

Can I use this foundation if I have acne-prone skin?

Yes, as the foundation is non-comedogenic. However, always ensure your applicators are clean, and consider a patch test.

How long does the foundation last?

The foundation's longevity depends on skin type and application, but it generally lasts throughout the day. Set with a powder for extended wear.

What is the best way to remove the foundation?

Use a makeup remover or cleansing oil followed by a gentle cleanser. Double cleansing is recommended.

What is the shelf life of the foundation?

Once opened, the foundation is typically good for 12-24 months. Check the product packaging for the specific symbol.

Is the product cruelty-free?

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or uneven.

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Use a damp sponge and blend thoroughly. Try applying in thin layers to avoid a cakey look.

Shade doesn't match skin tone.

Experiment with different shades or combinations to find the perfect match. Consider a shade matching service or consult with a makeup professional.

Foundation oxidizes and changes color throughout the day.

Ensure your skin is clean and primed before application. Setting the foundation with a translucent powder can help prevent oxidation.
