FAQs

Is this foundation suitable for all skin types?

Yes, the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation is formulated to be `non-acnegenic` and `non-comedogenic`, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

How do I achieve the 'soft glow' finish?

The foundation is infused with `Light-Diffusing Pigments` and `Blurring Spheres` designed to naturally create a radiant, soft glow. For best results, apply to well-prepped skin and blend outwards, avoiding excessive powder which might diminish the glow.

Can I build up the coverage, or is it strictly medium?

The Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation offers `medium, buildable coverage`. You can start with a sheer layer and add more in areas where you desire extra coverage, blending seamlessly for a customized look.

Does it offer sun protection?

The product description mentions `Blue light protection` from its `Light-Diffusing Pigments`. However, it does not explicitly state an SPF value, so it should not be considered a primary source of sun protection. Always use a separate SPF product underneath.

Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation is proudly `vegan` and `cruelty-free`, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.

What's the best way to apply this foundation for a seamless finish?

For a seamless finish, `prep skin with moisturiser and primer`, then apply a small amount to the center of your face and `blend outward using the Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush`, gently buffing into the skin. Build coverage in thin layers as needed.

Will this foundation blur pores and fine lines?

Absolutely. The formula contains `Blurring Spheres` that are specifically designed to `minimize the look of imperfections, fine lines, and wrinkles`, creating a smoother, more refined skin appearance.

How long does the foundation last on the skin?

This foundation is designed for `16-hour wear` and is `transfer-resistant`, as well as `resistant to humidity and sweat`, ensuring your complexion stays fresh throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Use a smaller amount of foundation and blend thoroughly, building coverage in thin layers. Using a damp sponge or a dense buffing brush can also help achieve a smoother finish.

Foundation doesn't last 16 hours or transfers easily

Make sure to apply a primer before foundation. Set the foundation with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness or friction. The formula is transfer-resistant, but proper setting can enhance its longevity.

Shade appears too light/dark or doesn't match neck

The color of foundation can look different under various lighting conditions. Try testing the foundation shade on your jawline in natural light before full application. If it still doesn't match, consider mixing two shades or consulting a beauty advisor for a re-match.

Foundation settles into fine lines or pores

Proper skin preparation with a hydrating moisturizer and a pore-minimizing primer can help. Lightly buffing the foundation into the skin with a dense brush and then setting with a very fine setting powder can also reduce settling.

Doesn't provide enough coverage

This foundation offers medium, buildable coverage. For areas needing more intensity, apply a second, thin layer by tapping the product into the skin with a small brush or fingertip, rather than buffing, to maintain the soft glow.
