The Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation is designed to provide a perfected, radiant complexion for everyday wear or special occasions where a natural glow is desired.
Achieving Your Best Match: Given the wide range of 50 shades and precise undertone descriptions, careful shade selection is key.
Identify Your Category: Start by determining if your skin falls into the Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, or Deep category. For shade 580W, this is Deep.
Determine Your Undertone: The product uses C (Cool), W (Warm), and N (Neutral).
Cool: Pink, red, or bluish tones.
Warm: Yellow, peach, or golden tones.
Neutral: A mix of both cool and warm tones. For shade 580W, the undertone is Warm red.
Select Closest Match: Choose the specific shade that most closely complements your skin tone and undertone. Testing a small amount on your jawline in natural light can help confirm the best match.
Application for a Flawless Finish:
Targeted Application: Begin by applying the foundation directly to areas where you desire the most coverage. This typically includes the center of the face, such as the forehead, nose, and chin/jawline.
Blend Thoroughly: Blend the foundation outwards using your preferred tool.
Firm Foundation Brush (e.g., A30 Pro Brush): Provides a smooth, even application and can help build coverage.
Makeup Sponge: Delivers a softer, more diffused finish, great for a natural look.
Fingertips: Can warm the product, aiding blendability, but may offer less precision.
Build as Needed: Start with a light layer and add additional product only where more coverage is required. This prevents a cakey appearance.
Ensure Continuity: If necessary, blend the foundation down onto your neck area to ensure a seamless transition and avoid a distinct line between your face and neck.
The formula's lightweight feel ensures comfortable wear throughout the day, while its luminous finish offers a healthy, youthful glow without needing additional powder to set.
Initial Setup (Shade Matching): The most crucial setup step is selecting the correct shade.
Understand Your Skin Tone Category: Identify if you are Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, or Deep.
Determine Your Undertone: Check if your skin has cool (pink, red, bluish), warm (yellow, peach, golden), or neutral (mix of both) tones.
Match: Choose the specific shade and undertone that best integrates with your skin. For example, 580W is for "very deep skin with a warm red undertone."
Compatibility:
Skin Types: This foundation is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Other Makeup: It blends seamlessly with primers, concealers, and other makeup products. Its 'no powder needed' feature simplifies your routine, but you can still use powder in specific areas if desired for extra mattifying or setting.
Care & Maintenance:
Hygienic Pump: The product comes with a custom hygienic pump. Use this to dispense the desired amount of product, avoiding direct contact with the rest of the foundation to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its formula and efficacy.
Cleaning: Ensure the pump nozzle remains clean by wiping it gently after use if any residue builds up.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, usually a small open jar icon with a number and 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), to know how long the product is good for after opening.
