DIOR Forever Foundation Stick - 6N

The best way to choose your shade is to swatch a small amount on your jawline or inner wrist in natural light. Allow it to sit for a few minutes as some foundations can oxidize. The shade that seamlessly blends into your skin and disappears is the correct one. Consider if you prefer a 'Cool' (C), 'Neutral' (N), or 'Warm' (W) undertone to match your skin.

Yes, the DIOR Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick is designed to be used as a concealer. Choose a shade that matches your foundation or is slightly lighter for brightening under-eyes. Apply directly to areas needing coverage and blend gently with a finger, brush, or sponge.

While generally versatile, performance can vary. Those with oily skin may benefit from using a mattifying primer and setting powder. Individuals with dry skin should ensure thorough moisturizing and potentially a hydrating primer beforehand to prevent it from clinging to dry patches.

To maintain hygiene, gently wipe the exposed surface of the stick with a clean, dry tissue after each use. You can also lightly spray the tip with an alcohol-based makeup sanitizer and wipe clean. Always replace the cap securely.

Typically, unopened makeup products like foundation sticks have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once opened, look for a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol, usually a small jar with a number and 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), indicating how long the product is good for after it's opened. Proper storage in a cool, dry place can help extend its efficacy within this period.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Blend the product immediately after applying a small section. Use a damp beauty sponge or a dense, flat-top brush with patting or buffing motions to achieve an even finish. Avoid dragging the product across your skin.

You may be applying too much product. Start with a small amount and build coverage as needed. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated. Lightly set with a minimal amount of translucent powder, focusing on oily areas, rather than applying heavy powder all over.

Proper skin preparation is key; use a primer designed for extended wear. Set your foundation with a setting spray after application. For oily skin, consider a mattifying primer and touch up with blotting papers rather than adding more product.
