To get the best out of your Too Faced Born This Way Foundation:
Skin Preparation: Begin with clean, moisturized skin. Applying a primer can help create a smooth canvas and extend wear.
Application Tools: Use a foundation brush, a damp beauty sponge, or clean fingertips. Each method can yield a slightly different finish – sponges for a more natural look, brushes for fuller coverage.
Starting Point: Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand or directly onto your chosen tool.
Blending: Apply to the center of your face and blend outwards towards your hairline, jawline, and neck to avoid harsh lines and ensure a seamless transition.
Building Coverage: Start with a thin layer and add more product incrementally to areas where additional coverage is desired, rather than applying a thick layer all at once. This prevents a 'cakey' appearance.
Setting: For extended wear, especially in humid conditions or for oily skin types, lightly set your foundation with a translucent powder.
Before first use, ensure the bottle is upright and gently shake if contents appear separated. Familiarize yourself with the pump dispenser for controlled application.
This foundation is designed for various skin types. Compatibility with specific primers, concealers, and setting sprays depends on their individual formulations. If you use other makeup products, apply them in the recommended order (e.g., primer first, then foundation, then concealer, powder, etc.). Patch testing is recommended if you have sensitive skin or are introducing new products into your routine.
Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its consistency and efficacy. Keep the cap or pump clean and sealed tightly after each use to prevent air exposure and contamination. Avoid shaking excessively, as this can introduce air bubbles.
