Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge On Cream Makeup is ready to use right out of its packaging. Simply open the compact to reveal the cream foundation, mirror, and ventilated sponge compartment. Ensure the sponge is clean before its first use.
Compatibility
This *moisture-rich formula* is generally well-suited for normal to dry skin types, offering hydration and a comfortable feel. Its *satin finish* makes it versatile enough for combination skin as well, though those with very oily skin might benefit from a light dusting of setting powder in oil-prone areas. The *light-diffusing particles* are beneficial for all skin types seeking to minimize the appearance of imperfections.
Care
- Sponge Maintenance: To maintain hygiene and optimal application, regularly clean the included sponge. Wash it gently with mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry completely in the ventilated compartment or a clean, open space before storing. Replace the sponge if it starts to show signs of wear or degradation.
- Compact Storage: Keep the compact closed when not in use to protect the foundation from air exposure and contamination. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the formula's integrity.
- Product Lifespan: Pay attention to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, usually a small open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months), to determine the recommended shelf life after opening.
