The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation is renowned for its 'second skin' effect. When applied correctly, it melts into the skin, providing coverage that feels lightweight and looks remarkably natural. The Caramel shade is designed for specific warm or neutral undertones, blending seamlessly into complexions within that range.
Skin Preparation: Start with a clean, moisturized, and primed face. This creates a smooth canvas, allowing the foundation to glide on evenly and wear better.
Dispense Product: Dispense 1-2 pumps onto the back of your hand. A little goes a long way with its buildable formula.
Application Tools: Choose your preferred method:
Damp Beauty Sponge: For a sheerer, dewy finish, bounce a damp sponge across your face, pressing the product into the skin.
Foundation Brush: For medium to full coverage, use a dense foundation brush to buff the product onto the skin in circular motions.
Fingers: For a truly natural, skin-like finish and light coverage, use clean fingertips to warm the product slightly before blending it outwards from the center of your face.
Build Coverage: Start with a thin layer and build up in areas where more coverage is desired, such as around the nose or under the eyes. This prevents a heavy, masked appearance.
Setting (Optional): For extended wear or if you have oily skin, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your T-zone or entire face to lock the foundation in place and control shine.
There's no complex setup required for this foundation. Simply shake the bottle gently before use. Ensure your skin is cleansed, moisturized, and primed to create the best base for application.
Primers: Works well with most water-based or silicone-based primers. For a luminous finish, pair with a hydrating or radiance-boosting primer. For oil control, use a mattifying primer in oily areas.
Concealers: Compatible with cream, liquid, and stick concealers. Apply foundation first, then spot-conceal where additional coverage is needed.
Setting Powders: Can be set with translucent or color-matched setting powders to enhance longevity and provide a matte finish.
Other Makeup: Integrates smoothly with cream, liquid, and powder blushes, bronzers, and highlighters.
Storage: Store the foundation upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity and extend its shelf life.
Cleanliness: Always ensure your hands and application tools (brushes, sponges) are clean before use to prevent product contamination and maintain skin hygiene.
Expiration: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually a small jar icon with a number like '12M' or '24M', indicating how many months the product is good for after opening.
