FAQs

How do I find the right shade?

Test shades on your jawline in natural light to find the closest match to your skin tone. Consider your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) when choosing a shade.

What is the best way to apply this foundation?

You can use a brush, a makeup sponge, or your fingers. A sponge is often recommended for a natural, airbrushed finish.

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

The foundation is formulated with 95% naturally-derived ingredients, but it's always recommended to test a small area first to check for any potential allergic reactions.

How do I achieve a full coverage look?

Apply the foundation in thin layers, building up coverage as needed. Use a brush or sponge for the best results, and allow each layer to set slightly before applying the next.

Does this foundation contain SPF?

No, this foundation does not contain SPF. It is recommended to use a separate sunscreen underneath for sun protection.

How do I remove this foundation?

Use a makeup remover or cleansing oil followed by a gentle cleanser. Ensure all traces of the foundation are removed to avoid breakouts.

What is the shelf life of this foundation?

Once opened, it is recommended to use the foundation within 12-24 months. Check the product packaging for the specific Period After Opening (PAO) symbol.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or patchy.

Ensure your skin is properly moisturized before application. Use a damp sponge to blend the foundation for a smoother finish. Apply in thin layers to avoid a cakey look.

Foundation color doesn't match skin tone.

Re-evaluate the shade selection. Consider using a different shade or mixing shades to achieve a perfect match. Test the foundation in natural light before applying to the entire face.

Foundation doesn't last all day.

Use a primer before applying the foundation. Set the foundation with a setting powder. Consider using a setting spray for extra hold.

Foundation emphasizes fine lines or wrinkles.

Apply a small amount of foundation and blend well. Use a hydrating primer. Avoid applying too much product in areas with fine lines.

Foundation feels heavy on the skin.

Use a lighter hand during application and avoid layering too much product. Opt for a thinner layer or use a hydrating serum.
