Application Tips:
Prep Your Skin: Begin with a clean, hydrated face. Apply your preferred primer to create a smooth canvas and extend wear.
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle gently. Dispense 1-2 pumps onto the back of your hand.
Apply Evenly: Use a damp beauty sponge, foundation brush, or clean fingertips to apply the foundation. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage (e.g., redness, blemishes), gently dab and press additional product rather than rubbing.
Set (Optional): If you have oily skin or want extended wear, lightly dust a setting powder over your T-zone or entire face. A setting spray can further lock in your look.
Real-World Application:
Daily Wear: Provides a comfortable, natural finish that lasts through the workday.
Special Occasions: Can be built up for a more polished look for events, photos, or evenings out.
Mix with Moisturizer: For an even sheerer finish, mix a small amount with your daily moisturizer.
Expected finish is a natural, radiant look that mimics healthy skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores.
Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are vital for getting the most out of your Too Faced Born This Way Foundation.
First Use: Before the first use, shake the bottle gently to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Pump Priming: If the pump doesn't dispense product immediately, pump it a few times until the foundation flows.
Patch Test: For sensitive skin, apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area (like behind the ear) 24 hours before full face application to check for any reactions.
Skin Types: Generally well-suited for normal, combination, and dry skin types due to its hydrating properties. Oily skin types may benefit from using a mattifying primer and setting powder.
Primers: Compatible with most face primers. For a dewy look, use a hydrating primer; for extended wear, an oil-controlling primer.
Other Products: Works seamlessly with liquid or cream concealers, blushes, and bronzers. Layer powder products on top after the foundation has set.
Storage: Store the foundation upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Excessive heat or cold can alter the product's consistency and effectiveness.
Shelf Life: Look for the 'period-after-opening' (PAO) symbol, typically a jar icon with a number (e.g., 12M), which indicates how many months the product is good for after opening.
Hygiene: Avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers to prevent contamination. Clean makeup brushes and sponges regularly to maintain product integrity and skin health. Do not dilute the foundation with water or other liquids, as this can introduce bacteria.
