Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Getting Started with Your Foundation
- Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results, allow your moisturizer or primer to fully absorb before applying foundation.
- Choose Your Brush: For optimal application of this loose mineral foundation, a dense, soft brush designed for powder foundation is recommended (e.g., bareMinerals `Beautiful Finish Brush`).
- Application Technique: Use the 'Swirl, Tap, Buff' method:
- Swirl: Gently swirl your brush inside the foundation lid (where you've tapped out a small amount of product) until all minerals are absorbed into the brush.
- Tap: Tap off any excess powder on the rim of the lid. This prevents over-application and ensures an even finish.
- Buff: Buff the foundation onto your skin in gentle, circular motions, starting from the outside of your face and working inwards. Repeat until you achieve desired coverage.
Compatibility
This foundation is designed to work well with most primers and setting sprays. For best results with SPF protection, avoid over-buffing after initial application, which could disturb the SPF layer. It can be layered over liquid or cream concealers for targeted coverage before applying the foundation for an overall even tone.
Product Care & Storage
- Close Lid Tightly: Always ensure the sifter lid is closed securely after each use to prevent spills and keep the product fresh.
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the foundation away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity.
- Clean Your Brush Regularly: To ensure hygienic application and optimal product performance, clean your foundation brush weekly with a gentle brush cleaner.
