Full details

Its primary benefit is providing a blur-matte finish with 24-hour oil control, suitable for a wide range of skin tones and types.

FAQs

How do I find my correct shade, especially with the new formula?

It's best to test shades directly on your jawline, blending downwards towards your neck. Observe the match in natural light. Due to the updated formula and expanded 78-shade range, your previous shade might have changed, so re-matching is crucial for the most accurate result.

Can I use this product as just a setting powder?

Yes, while it functions as a 2-in-1 foundation and powder, it can be lightly dusted over liquid foundation or bare skin as a setting powder to control shine and provide a blur-matte finish.

Is this product suitable for all skin types?

Yes, the formula is designed to suit "every skin tone and type." Its 24-hour oil control and blur-matte finish make it particularly beneficial for oily and combination skin, but the breathable, talc-free texture is comfortable for many.

How do I achieve different coverage levels?

For medium coverage, use a fluffy brush and apply in sweeping motions. For fuller coverage, use the included sponge and press the product onto the skin, building up thin layers as needed. The coverage is medium-to-full and buildable.

What does 'refillable packaging' mean?

The compact is designed for sustainability. Once you finish the product, you can purchase a new refill pan (the powder insert) and easily place it into your existing compact, reducing waste.

Does this foundation crease or cake?

The formula is specifically designed to provide 'non-caking/non-creasing coverage' and a 'silky texture' that feels comfortable on the skin. Applying in thin, buildable layers also helps prevent creasing or caking.

Troubleshooting

My foundation looks cakey or heavy.

Apply less product in thin layers, building up coverage gradually. Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application. Using a brush instead of a sponge can also help achieve a lighter application.

The foundation isn't lasting all day.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped with a primer. For maximum wear, consider using a setting spray after application. The product is designed for 24-hour wear, so environmental factors or oily skin may require additional steps.

My shade doesn't seem to match anymore.

The formula and shade range have been updated, so a re-evaluation of your shade is likely needed. Test new shades directly on your jawline in natural light to find your perfect match. Avoid testing on the back of your hand.

My skin still looks shiny after a few hours.

While it offers 24-hour oil control, exceptionally oily skin types might benefit from an oil-controlling primer underneath. You can also lightly touch up with a small amount of powder on the T-zone during the day using a clean brush or sponge.

The product emphasizes dry patches.

Ensure your skin is thoroughly exfoliated and moisturized before application. A hydrating primer can also help create a smoother canvas. Avoid applying too much product to dry areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Skin Preparation: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results and extended wear, consider using a primer suitable for your skin type.
  2. Shade Matching: Due to the updated formula and expanded shade range, it's recommended to test shades on your jawline in natural light to find the most accurate match. If you're a returning user, your previous shade might have changed, so re-matching is crucial.
  3. Application Tools: This product can be applied with the included sponge for fuller coverage or with a powder brush for a lighter, more diffused look.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: Formulated to suit "every skin tone and type," it is particularly beneficial for those seeking oil control and a matte finish.
  • Shades: With 78 colour-true shades, the foundation is designed to match a wide spectrum of complexions, including various undertones.

Care

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean your application tools (sponge or brush) to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth. Use mild soap and water, allowing them to air dry completely.
  • Refillable Packaging: When your product runs out, simply purchase a refill pan instead of an entirely new compact. To replace, gently remove the old pan and insert the new one into the compact.
