Setup & Application
- Prepare Your Skin: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. For optimal longevity and a smoother finish, consider applying a primer suitable for your skin type.
- Dispense Product: Shake the bottle well before use. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand, a mixing palette, or directly onto your application tool.

- Fingertips: For light, sheer coverage and a natural, skin-like finish.
- Damp Beauty Sponge: For medium, blendable coverage and a dewy look.
- Foundation Brush: For medium to full coverage and precise application.
- Apply and Blend: Start applying the foundation from the center of your face and blend outwards. For buildable coverage, apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to set slightly before adding more. Ensure to blend down your neck for a seamless transition, especially when applying to the body.
