FAQs
How do I get the most coverage from the cushion?
To build coverage, press the puff more firmly into the cushion to pick up more product, then gently pat and layer it onto the areas where you need more coverage. Avoid swiping motions, as patting helps to meld the product into the skin.
Can this foundation be used on oily skin?
While formulated with hydrating properties, individuals with oily skin can use this foundation by ensuring proper skin preparation with a mattifying primer and setting lightly with powder in the T-zone if needed. It provides a radiant finish, so monitor oiliness throughout the day.
How often should I replace the cushion refill?
It is generally recommended to replace the cushion refill every 2-3 months with regular use, or when the product noticeably diminishes or the texture changes. Always ensure the compact is cleaned properly if refilling.
What is the finish of this foundation?
The foundation provides a radiant, luminous, and natural-looking finish, designed to mimic healthy, glowing skin.
Does the SPF lose effectiveness over time?
The SPF protection is inherent to the formula. To ensure optimal protection, store the product correctly and close the compact tightly after use to prevent premature drying or degradation of the formula.
Can I wear this foundation if I have sensitive skin?
This product combines makeup and skincare. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, it's always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying it all over your face. Consult the ingredient list if you have known sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure your skin is properly moisturized before application. Use the puff to gently pat and blend the product, rather than swiping. Try applying a lighter layer first and building up coverage as needed.
Product seems to dry out quickly.
Make sure the inner seal is firmly closed after every use. Store the compact away from heat and direct sunlight. If the cushion appears dry, try gently pressing the puff deeper into the saturated areas.
Shade does not match skin tone.
Carefully review shade descriptions and consider purchasing samples if available. Test shades in natural light against your jawline before purchasing. Different lighting conditions can affect color perception.
Skin feels heavy or cakey.
Apply less product. The foundation offers buildable coverage, so start with a minimal amount and add more only where necessary. Ensure your skincare routine is balanced and not overly heavy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The foundation is ready to use directly from the compact. Simply open the compact, press the puff gently into the saturated cushion, and pat onto the skin.
Compatibility: This product is generally suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to dry skin, due to its hydrating properties. It is formulated to layer well with other Bobbi Brown primers and setting products. Ensure you select the shade that best matches your natural skin tone for seamless blending.
Care: To maintain the product's integrity and prevent drying, always ensure the inner lid is securely closed after each use. Clean the puff regularly by hand-washing with a mild soap and water, allowing it to air dry completely before placing it back in the compact. Store the compact at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
