FAQs

What kind of finish does this foundation have?

The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation delivers a natural-matte, shine-free finish that allows your skin to breathe.

How long does the foundation last?

This foundation provides 24-hour longwear, and also offers 24-hour hydration.

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes, it is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, meaning it's designed not to clog pores or contribute to breakouts. It is also dermatologist-tested.

What are the key skincare ingredients in this foundation?

It contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to smooth pores and texture, Rose Hip Extract to refine pores, and Glycerin to help retain skin moisture.

Is the foundation waterproof and transfer-proof?

Yes, it is waterproof, smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and fade-proof, ensuring your coverage stays put.

Can I build up the coverage with this foundation?

Absolutely. It offers buildable medium coverage, allowing you to layer the product to achieve your desired level of perfection without feeling heavy.

How do I choose the correct shade?

To choose your shade, first identify your undertone (Cool, Neutral, or Warm) based on your skin tone and vein color, then select your skin depth. The foundation comes in 40 inclusive shades to help you find your perfect match.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears patchy or uneven after application.

Ensure your skin is thoroughly prepped and moisturized before applying. For best results, use a primer. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly using a damp sponge or brush, working from the center of the face outwards.

Foundation isn't lasting the full 24 hours or transfers easily.

Confirm your skin is clean and prepped. For oily skin, consider using a mattifying primer or setting the foundation with a light dusting of setting powder. Avoid touching your face excessively throughout the day, as this can disrupt the foundation.

Pores are still visible despite using the foundation.

For maximum pore-blurring, apply The POREfessional Primer before your foundation. Pay extra attention to pressing (not rubbing) the foundation into areas with prominent pores using a dense brush or sponge to really fill and blur them.

Foundation feels heavy or looks caked.

This foundation is buildable; start with a small amount and apply thin layers, building coverage only where needed. Ensure your application tools (brush/sponge) are clean and damp to help with seamless blending and prevent excess product buildup.

Cons

Shade matching can be challenging due to the extensive range, requiring careful selection.
Optimal results are suggested with specific primer and hydrating duos (additional products).

Shade Matching

Finding your perfect shade is crucial for a natural look. Start by identifying your undertone:

Cool (C): If your veins look blue and silver jewelry suits you, you likely have pink or bluish skin tones.
Neutral (N): If your veins look blue-green and both gold and silver jewelry suit you, you have a mix of pink and golden tones.
Warm (W): If your veins look green and gold jewelry suits you, you likely have golden or yellow skin.

Once you know your undertone, select your skin depth from fair to deep. The POREfessional Foundation offers 40 shades, tested on a wide range of skin tones, to help you find your match. When testing, apply a small amount along your jawline and check it in natural light.

Compatibility

This foundation is designed to work seamlessly with other POREfessional products, especially The POREfessional Primer for enhanced pore-blurring. For optimal hydration and a smoother application, it's recommended to pair with hydrating skincare products like Hydro Pop + Smooth Sip before application.

Care

Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy and texture. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying out and contamination. No specific cleaning of the foundation bottle is usually required.
