The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Foundation SPF10 is designed to provide enduring wear throughout various activities. Its "Stay-In-Place" nature suggests it will resist transfer and maintain its appearance from morning to night. The SPF10 makes it suitable for daily use, offering a basic level of sun protection for incidental sun exposure.
For optimal performance:
Skin Preparation: Ensure skin is clean, moisturized, and primed, if desired, to create a smooth canvas.
Application Method: Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand. Use a foundation brush, sponge, or clean fingertips to apply. Start at the center of your face and blend outwards.
Layering: For areas requiring more coverage, apply an additional thin layer and blend seamlessly.
Setting: While designed to stay put, setting with a powder can further enhance longevity and control shine, especially in warmer climates or for oilier skin types.
Shade Selection: The 9N1 Ebony shade is tailored for deep skin tones. Always test the shade on your jawline in natural light to ensure a perfect match before full application.
Remember that while SPF10 offers protection, it is not a substitute for dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially during extended sun exposure.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Dispense: Apply a small amount of foundation onto your preferred applicator (brush, sponge, or fingertips).
Apply: Begin by applying the foundation to the central areas of your face (forehead, nose, chin) and blend outwards towards the hairline and jawline for a natural finish.
Build Coverage: For areas needing more coverage, apply additional thin layers and blend well.
Skin Type: > Info needed: While the product is a "Stay-In-Place Foundation," specific recommendations for dry, oily, combination, or normal skin types are not provided. Generally, long-wear foundations can be versatile, but prep may vary by skin type.
Other Products: This foundation is generally compatible with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. For best results, use products that complement its long-wear properties.
Storage: Store the foundation bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity.
Hygiene: Keep the bottle cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent air exposure and contamination. Regularly clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) to ensure hygienic application and optimal product performance.
Disposal: Dispose of the product responsibly according to local regulations once it has expired or is no longer usable.
