Application Tips for Best Results:
Prep Your Skin: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. For extended wear and smoother application, consider using a primer suitable for your skin type.
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle well before dispensing the product.
Dispense & Apply: Pour a small amount onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your preferred application tool (brush, sponge, or fingertips).
Work Quickly: Due to its fast-drying nature, apply the foundation in small sections and blend immediately. Start from the center of your face and work outwards.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second, thin layer by dabbing and pressing the product rather than rubbing.
Set (Optional): While it dries to a natural matte finish, you can lightly set with a translucent powder, especially in oil-prone areas, for ultimate longevity.
Match Your Shade: Ensure you select the correct shade (like 2N2 Buff) by testing it on your jawline in natural light and allowing it to set for a few minutes to see its true color.
This foundation performs optimally when applied thoughtfully, creating a smooth, even canvas that withstands daily life without migrating, creasing, or fading.
Setup (First Use & Application): Upon first use, gently shake the bottle. Dispense the desired amount of product. It is recommended to start with a small amount and build coverage as needed, as this foundation provides medium-to-full coverage and sets quickly.
Compatibility:
Skin Types: This foundation is suitable for all skin types, including oily, combination, and dry skin. Its oil-controlling, natural matte finish makes it particularly popular for oily and combination skin, while its comfortable feel works for drier types.
Other Products: Compatible with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. For best results, use products that complement a long-wear, matte finish.
Care & Maintenance:
Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain product integrity.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid direct contact of the bottle opening with skin. Use clean applicators (brushes, sponges) and clean them regularly.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing and resilient formula, it is highly recommended to use an oil-based cleanser, balm, or a dedicated makeup remover designed for long-wear or waterproof makeup. Gently massage the remover into your skin to dissolve the foundation before rinsing.
