This foundation excels in providing a comfortable, skin-like finish while offering vital sun protection. Its hydrating properties make it particularly beneficial for those with normal to dry skin, preventing the tight or dry feeling often associated with some foundations. For users with combination or oily skin, a light dusting of setting powder in oil-prone areas will help maintain the radiant finish without excess shine throughout the day.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results and extended wear, consider applying a primer.
Dispense: Gently shake the bottle. Dispense a small amount (one to two pumps) onto the back of your hand or a clean mixing palette.
Apply: Using your preferred tool – a clean foundation brush, damp beauty sponge, or even your fingertips – dot the foundation onto the center of your face (forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin).
Blend: Blend the foundation outwards from the center of your face, ensuring smooth coverage. Pay special attention to blending into your jawline and neck for a seamless transition, avoiding a visible line.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a small additional amount and gently tap or press it onto the skin, building up layers rather than rubbing, until desired coverage is achieved.
Set: For extended wear, especially in humid conditions or for oily skin, lightly set with a translucent powder. A setting spray can also be used to lock in the look and add to the radiant finish.
The radiant finish is perfect for achieving a natural, healthy glow, making it ideal for daily wear or for occasions where you want your skin to look luminous and fresh. The SPF 45 makes it a smart choice for outdoor activities or prolonged sun exposure, adding a crucial layer of sun protection to your routine.
Upon first use, prime the pump by pressing it a few times until the product consistently dispenses. Ensure the bottle is held upright during this process.
This foundation is suitable for all skin types, including normal, dry, combination, and oily skin. Its hydrating nature benefits dry skin, while its formulation aims to be non-comedogenic (Info needed: verify non-comedogenic claim) to prevent pore clogging for oily or blemish-prone skin. As with any new cosmetic product, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin if you have known sensitivities.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
Hygiene: Always apply foundation with clean hands or thoroughly cleaned applicators (brushes, sponges). Regularly wash your makeup brushes and sponges with a gentle cleanser to prevent bacterial buildup, ensure smooth application, and prolong the life of your tools and product.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out, oxidizing, or becoming contaminated by air and environmental impurities.
Shelf Life: Most liquid foundations have a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, typically an open jar with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months), indicating how long the product is good for after opening. Adhere to this guideline for optimal performance and safety.
