FAQs
What kind of finish does the Born This Way Foundation have?
It provides a natural finish that is designed to look like your skin, enhancing your complexion with a radiant and smooth appearance without looking heavy.
What coverage level can I expect?
This foundation offers medium to full buildable coverage. You can apply a thin layer for a natural look or build it up for more complete coverage where needed.
Is this foundation suitable for dry skin?
Yes, its hydrating formula is designed to keep skin comfortable and moisturized throughout the day, making it an excellent choice for dry skin types.
How do I choose the right shade online?
We recommend referring to Too Faced's official shade matching guides, looking at swatches from various skin tones, and reading reviews. Consider your undertone (Warm Nude is for warm undertones) and aim for a shade that disappears into your jawline when blended.
What's the best way to apply this foundation?
For a natural, seamless finish, a damp beauty sponge is highly recommended. For more precise application and fuller coverage, a foundation brush can be used. Fingertips can also work for a very natural, blended effect.
Does it feel heavy on the skin?
No, the formula is designed to feel comfortable and lightweight. Its hydrating properties contribute to a feeling of 'barely there' makeup, even with buildable coverage.
Can I use this foundation if I have oily skin?
While it has hydrating properties, many with oily skin find success by pairing it with a mattifying primer in oily areas and setting it with a light powder. It offers a natural finish, not explicitly matte, so adjust your prep and set routine accordingly.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears cakey or heavy.
Ensure your skin is well-prepped and moisturized. Use less product; this foundation is buildable, so start with a small amount and layer as needed. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer, more natural finish.
Foundation doesn't last all day.
Pair the foundation with a compatible primer for extended wear. Set your foundation with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness, and consider a setting spray to lock it in.
Shade looks slightly off or too light/dark.
Always test foundation shades in natural light. Blend the foundation down your neck to ensure a seamless transition. If the shade is slightly off, you can try mixing a tiny amount of a lighter or darker liquid foundation to adjust, or use bronzer/contour to add warmth/depth.
Foundation settles into fine lines or emphasizes texture.
Ensure your skin is adequately hydrated before application. Use a primer that blurs pores or fine lines. Apply foundation sparingly in areas with more texture and blend thoroughly. A damp sponge can also help press the product into the skin for a smoother look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. For best results and extended wear, apply your preferred primer. Allow any skincare and primer to absorb fully before applying foundation.
- Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is evenly mixed.
- Dispense: Pump a small amount onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your application tool (brush or sponge).
Compatibility
- Skin Types: This foundation is particularly well-suited for normal, combination, and dry skin due to its hydrating properties. Those with oily skin may find it works well with a mattifying primer and setting powder, especially in the T-zone.
- Application Tools: Compatible with various application methods: a damp beauty sponge for a sheer, natural finish; a foundation brush for more controlled, fuller coverage; or clean fingertips for a very natural, blended look.
Care
- Storage: Store the foundation upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers. Regularly clean your foundation brushes and sponges to ensure smooth application and prevent product breakdown or skin issues.
- Shelf Life: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually a small open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), on the packaging for the recommended shelf life after opening.
