FAQs

How do I find my perfect True Match shade?

The best way is to test shades directly on your jawline in natural light. The shade should disappear seamlessly into your skin. You can also use online shade-matching tools as a guide, but in-person testing is recommended.

Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?

While True Match is hydrating and breathable, it's not specifically formulated as a mattifying foundation. Individuals with oily skin may find it beneficial to use a mattifying primer underneath and set with powder for extended wear.

Can I use this foundation if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, the True Match foundation is non-comedogenic and formulated to be suitable for sensitive skin. It allows the skin to breathe and is infused with skincare ingredients.

How long does the hydration last?

The formula is designed to provide 24-hour hydration, thanks to its hydrating complex including Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe Vera extract.

What is the coverage level of this foundation?

True Match provides natural, bare-to-skin coverage, which is typically considered light to medium. It can be built up slightly for more coverage but is not designed for a full-coverage finish.

What are the main skincare ingredients in the formula?

The foundation contains a hydrating complex with Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe Vera extract, as well as Vitamin E.

How should I store the foundation?

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain the product's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears too light or too dark

This usually indicates an incorrect shade match. Consider trying a shade lighter or darker, or mixing two shades to find your perfect match. Always test shades in natural light.

Foundation looks cakey or settles into fine lines

Ensure your skin is well-prepped with moisturiser. Use less product and blend thoroughly, focusing on the areas where it tends to settle. A hydrating primer can also help.

Product is difficult to blend

Make sure the foundation is applied to well-moisturised skin. Try using a damp makeup sponge or a different blending technique. Ensure the foundation is not too old.

Foundation feels heavy or uncomfortable

You may be using too much product. Try applying a thinner layer or using a less dense brush/sponge. Ensure your skin is properly hydrated beforehand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a very natural, 'your skin but better' finish.
  • Hydrating formula is comfortable for all-day wear, especially for dry or normal skin types.
  • Extensive shade range increases the likelihood of finding a precise match.
  • Lightweight and breathable, suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
  • Contains beneficial skincare ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E.

Cons

  • May require touch-ups for very oily skin types throughout the day.
  • Achieving the 'perfect match' can be challenging without testing shades in person.
  • Coverage is generally light to medium, may not be sufficient for those seeking full coverage.
  • The 30ml volume is standard but may be used up quickly with daily application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Start with cleansed, toned, and moisturised skin.
  2. Shake the bottle well before use.
  3. Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a palette.
  4. Apply to your T-zone first, then blend outwards towards the edges of your face using your preferred tool (fingers, sponge, or brush).
  5. Build coverage as needed, ensuring to blend thoroughly into the hairline and jawline.

Compatibility:

This liquid foundation is formulated for use on most skin types, including sensitive skin, due to its non-comedogenic properties.

Care:

  • Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying out.
  • Clean makeup brushes or sponges regularly to maintain hygiene and product performance.
