FAQs

How do I choose the right shade?

Consider your skin's undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) and match the foundation to your jawline in natural light. Consider getting a sample before committing to a full size.

What is the best way to apply this foundation?

You can use a brush, a makeup sponge, or your fingers. The best method depends on your personal preference and the level of coverage you desire.

Is this foundation suitable for sensitive skin?

The product description does not specify, so it's best to check the product ingredients if you have sensitive skin and always do a patch test.

How can I make the foundation last longer?

Apply a primer before foundation, set the foundation with a setting powder, and use a setting spray to lock in your makeup.

Can I use this foundation on oily skin?

Yes, but it's important to use a mattifying primer and set the foundation with a powder to control shine. You may need to touch up during the day.

How do I clean my makeup brushes?

Use a gentle brush cleaner or soap and water to wash your brushes. Rinse thoroughly and let them dry completely before reuse.

Where is this foundation made?

Made in Thailand.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or heavy

Use less product and blend thoroughly. Ensure your skin is well-moisturized and consider using a hydrating primer.

Foundation doesn't last all day

Set the foundation with a setting powder. Consider using a makeup setting spray.

Foundation is too light or dark

Experiment with different shades or mix shades to achieve a perfect match. Consider a shade adjuster.

Foundation emphasizes dry patches

Exfoliate your skin and ensure it is well-moisturized before application. Use a hydrating primer.
