To find your ideal shade, consider two factors:

Undertone: Your undertone can be Cool (rosy), Neutral (balanced), or Warm (golden).
Consulting a shade guide or trying a sample on your jawline in natural light is recommended for the best match.
Skin Types: This foundation is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to its dermatologist-tested, oil-free, and non-comedogenic formula.
Product Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and efficacy.
Hygiene: Always apply with clean hands or sanitized tools to prevent contamination of the product.
Cap Security: Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying out and maintain freshness.
