Troubleshooting
Foundation looks patchy or uneven.
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and properly prepped before application. Use a clean, damp sponge or brush and apply in thin, even layers, blending thoroughly.
Foundation appears too heavy or cakey.
Apply less product. Start with a small amount and build coverage gradually. Use a light hand and ensure your applicator is not overloaded. Blending well is key.
Shine reappears quickly despite oil control.
Before applying foundation, use an oil-controlling primer. Ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed. You may also lightly re-powder oily areas with a brush as needed throughout the day.
