FAQs
How do I find my True Match shade?
The best way is to test shades on your jawline in natural daylight and see which one disappears seamlessly into your skin. The advanced technology uses up to 6 pigments to help find your closest match.
Can this foundation be used on sensitive skin?
The formula is enriched with soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Glycerin, but it does contain fragrance. If you have very sensitive skin, patch testing is recommended.
How long does the hydration last?
The formula provides up to 24 hours of hydration, keeping your skin feeling comfortable and looking luminous throughout the day.
Will this foundation improve my skin quality over time?
Yes, the foundation is enriched with skincare ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, which are designed to visibly improve skin quality with consistent use over two weeks.
What is the SPF level in this foundation?
The foundation contains SPF 17, providing a moderate level of daily sun protection.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
While hydrating, the foundation can be adapted for oily skin by using a mattifying primer and setting powder. For very oily skin, a mattifying foundation might be preferred.
Can I wear this foundation if I have acne or blemishes?
The coverage is buildable, so you can add extra product to areas with blemishes. However, it is not specifically formulated as a treatment for acne.
Troubleshooting
Foundation looks cakey or settles into fine lines.
Ensure skin is well-moisturized and prepped. Use a smaller amount of product and blend thoroughly. Consider using a damp sponge for application.
Shade does not match skin tone accurately.
Try sampling shades in natural light. Consider using a foundation mixer or concealer to adjust the color. Look for the shade that disappears into your skin.
Coverage is too sheer.
Apply a second thin layer of foundation, focusing on areas that require more coverage. Use a denser brush or sponge for application.
Foundation feels heavy or greasy.
Ensure skin is properly cleansed and not over-moisturized. For oily skin, consider using a mattifying primer or setting powder in the T-zone.
Product separates or changes texture in the bottle.
Shake the bottle well before each use. Store upright in a cool, dry place. If separation persists, the product may be expired.
