Due to its unprecedented concentration of pigment, start with a very small amount. Apply a few light strokes directly onto the areas you wish to cover, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Blend immediately using a foundation brush, a damp beauty sponge, or even your fingertips. The formula adjusts to your body temperature, making it easier to blend into the skin for a seamless, undetectable finish.
Leverage the precise triangular bullet to target specific imperfections. Apply small dots directly onto blemishes, dark circles, or areas of discoloration. Gently tap and blend the edges with your finger, a small brush, or a precise sponge to seamlessly meld the product into your skin. Its high coverage means a tiny amount is effective.
This versatile stick can also sculpt your face. Choose a shade two to three times darker than your skin tone for contouring. Apply along the hollows of your cheekbones, jawline, temples, and sides of your nose. For highlighting, select a shade one to two times lighter. Apply to the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of your nose, and cupid's bow. Blend thoroughly for a natural, sculpted look. Remember to blend quickly to take advantage of the formula's temperature-activated properties.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized, and primed skin. This creates a smooth canvas for application and can enhance longevity.
Twist Up Slightly: Only twist up a small amount of product at a time to prevent accidental breakage.
Apply Strategically: Due to its high pigmentation, apply directly to the desired areas in light strokes or dots. Avoid applying large amounts all at once.
Blend Promptly: The innovative formula adjusts to your body temperature for effortless blending. Blend the product into your skin immediately after application using a foundation brush, a damp beauty sponge, or your fingertips. Work in small sections if needed.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply an additional thin layer and blend again, rather than applying a single thick layer.
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types. Individuals with very dry skin may benefit from additional moisturizing before application, while those with oily skin might wish to set with powder.
Ethical Standards: This product is proudly vegan and cruelty-free.
Storage: Store the foundation stick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its texture and integrity.
Recap Tightly: Always recap the stick tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the triangular bullet.
Cleanliness: If needed, gently wipe the tip of the product with a clean tissue to remove any residue before recapping. Do not use water or harsh cleaners directly on the stick.
