Troubleshooting
Foundation looks patchy or uneven
Ensure your skin is well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Use a good primer. Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly using a damp sponge or brush in small, circular motions.
Shade doesn't seem to match my skin
The NW45 shade has a neutral-warm undertone. If it looks too warm, you might need a more neutral or cool shade. Blend the foundation down your neck to check for a seamless transition. For minor discrepancies, you can adjust with bronzer or blush.
My skin doesn't look radiant enough
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated. Apply an illuminating primer underneath. For extra glow, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into your foundation before application.
Foundation feels too radiant or looks too oily
This foundation provides a radiant finish. If you prefer less shine, lightly set your T-zone and any other oily areas with a matte or translucent setting powder after application.
Foundation settling into fine lines
Prep your skin with a hydrating and smoothing primer. Apply less product in areas prone to lines and gently tap it in. Lightly set with a minimal amount of powder only where necessary.
