Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application. Use the 'swirl, tap, buff' technique, making sure to tap off excess powder. Buff in small, circular motions thoroughly to blend.
Not getting enough coverage.
Build coverage in thin layers. After the first application, repeat the 'swirl, tap, buff' process, focusing on areas needing more coverage. Use a denser foundation brush for more impact.
Foundation looks too powdery.
Reduce the amount of product used per layer. Ensure thorough buffing into the skin. A light mist of a setting spray or hydrating mist after application can help the powder melt into the skin for a more natural look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
- Prepare Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply any primers or skincare products as usual.
- Dispense Product: Gently tap a small amount of foundation powder into the product lid. A little goes a long way.
- Swirl: Swirl your foundation brush (a dense, kabuki-style brush is recommended for best results) into the powder in the lid until the bristles are fully coated.
- Tap: Tap the brush gently against the edge of the lid to remove any excess powder. The goal is to have the powder 'inside' the brush, not just on top.
- Buff: Apply the foundation to your face using a circular, buffing motion. Start with areas you want the most coverage and blend outwards. Continue buffing until you achieve a seamless, natural finish. For more coverage, repeat steps 2-5.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: This talc-free, non-comedogenic formula is compatible with most skin types, including sensitive, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, due to its clean ingredient list and skin-improving properties.
- Other Products: It layers well over various primers, moisturizers, and under other makeup products like blush or bronzer. Ensure primers are fully absorbed before applying foundation.
Care & Storage
- Product Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its integrity.
- Brush Care: Regularly clean your foundation brushes to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth. Use a gentle brush cleanser and allow brushes to air dry completely.
- Hygienic Use: Avoid sharing your foundation for hygienic reasons.
