Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
- Prepare Skin: Begin with clean, moisturized skin. For extended wear and a smoother canvas, you may apply a primer suitable for your skin type.
- Dispense Product: Shake the bottle well before use. Start with a small amount (a pea-sized drop) on the back of your hand or a mixing palette. This foundation is highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
- Apply to Area: Using a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingertips, gently dab the product onto the area you wish to cover. For full coverage, pat the foundation onto the skin rather than rubbing.
- Blend: Blend outwards from the center of the area until seamless. For body application, ensure even blending, especially around edges, to avoid harsh lines.
- Build Coverage (if needed): For areas requiring extra coverage, apply a second thin layer, patting it gently.
Compatibility
This foundation is suitable for all skin types. Its matte finish can benefit oily skin by controlling shine, while its long-lasting nature works well for normal to combination skin. Those with drier skin may wish to ensure their skin is well-hydrated beforehand.
Care & Storage
- Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
- Cleaning: Ensure application tools (brushes, sponges) are cleaned regularly to prevent product buildup and maintain hygienic application.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically a jar icon with a number (e.g., "24M" for 24 months), which indicates how long the product is good for after opening.
