Prepare Skin: Ensure skin is clean, moisturized, and primed (optional, but recommended for extended wear or oily skin).
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle gently. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto an applicator.
Apply to Face:
For light coverage: Use a brush, sponge, or fingertips to apply a thin layer, starting from the center of the face and blending outwards.
For buildable coverage: Apply additional thin layers to areas requiring more coverage, gently tapping or blending until desired intensity is achieved.
Apply to Body: For areas like the décolleté or shoulders, apply directly with a foundation brush or sponge and blend well into the skin to camouflage imperfections and enhance radiance.
Set (Optional): For maximum longevity, especially given its waterproof nature, consider lightly setting with a translucent powder.
This foundation is designed to suit all skin tones due to its extensive range of 40 shades, including various intensities and undertones.
Its fluid, second-skin finish generally works well across various skin types, but individuals with extremely oily or dry skin may benefit from specific primers and moisturizers for optimal results.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and efficacy.
Hygiene: Ensure hands are clean before application. Regularly clean your makeup brushes or sponges to prevent bacterial buildup and maintain product performance.
Shelf Life: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M), indicating how many months the product is good for after opening.
