FAQs
What skin types is this makeup base best suited for?
This makeup base is best suited for dry, rough, or normal skin types that experience dryness and flaking. It provides intense moisture and helps makeup adhere better to these skin textures.
How long does the "just applied" effect last?
The product is designed to provide a "just applied" effect for up to eight hours, ensuring long-lasting adherence and a smooth finish.
Does it offer strong sun protection?
It offers SPF16 PA++ protection, which is suitable for daily incidental sun exposure. For prolonged sun exposure, additional broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended.
Can this base help with oily skin or shine?
While it helps prevent sebum-induced makeup breakdown and shine, its primary function is intense moisturization. Individuals with very oily skin might find it better suited for drier seasons or paired with oil-controlling products.
Is the product suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is fragrance-free, making it generally suitable for sensitive skin. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
What does 'packaging may change without notice' mean?
This means the external packaging design or material might be updated by the manufacturer without prior notification. The product formula inside remains the same.
Are there differences between this and Japanese versions?
Yes, the product information notes that coloring, fragrance, and ingredient amounts may differ slightly from products made in Japan, potentially affecting color and texture.
Troubleshooting
Makeup not adhering well
Ensure skin is clean and well-moisturized before application. Allow the base to set for at least one minute before applying foundation. Ensure an even layer of the base is applied.
Product feels sticky or heavy
A common cause is applying too much product. Try using a smaller amount and blending thoroughly. Ensure the product is allowed to set briefly before foundation application.
Skin feels dry despite using the base
While moisturizing, this base might not be sufficient for extremely dry skin. Ensure you are using a good moisturizer underneath. Consider a richer primer if dryness persists.
Noticeable scent
The product is listed as fragrance-free. If a scent is detected, it may be due to external factors or the product nearing the end of its shelf life. Discontinue use if the scent is strong or unpleasant.
