Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
There is no specific 'setup' required for this product. However, preparing your skin is essential for optimal application:
- Cleanse & Moisturize: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying makeup.
- Prime (Optional but Recommended): For longer wear and a smoother canvas, apply a makeup primer suited for your skin type, especially in areas where you plan to apply concealer.
Compatibility
- Foundations: This concealer is generally compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. Apply it either before or after foundation, depending on your preferred coverage and finish. Many users find applying concealer after foundation provides more targeted coverage.
- Setting Powders: Works well with both loose and pressed setting powders to lock in coverage and prevent creasing.
Care & Maintenance
- Storage: Store the concealer upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the doe-foot applicator directly to active breakouts or highly irritated skin. If you do, clean the applicator by wiping it gently with a clean tissue before reinserting it into the tube.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, typically found on the packaging, which indicates how many months the product is good for after opening (e.g., `6M` for 6 months).
