Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (First Use):
- Open the compact to reveal the powder foundation and the applicator sponge in a separate compartment.
- Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized before application.
Compatibility:
- Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types. Oily and combination skin types will particularly benefit from its oil-controlling properties. Dry skin types should ensure adequate moisturization and potentially a hydrating primer beforehand to prevent it from settling into fine lines or dry patches.
- Other Products: Works well with liquid or cream primers underneath. Can be layered over liquid concealer for additional spot coverage before or after application. It pairs effectively with setting sprays for a more natural finish.
Care & Maintenance:
- Storage: Store the compact in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the product's integrity.
- Sponge Care: Regularly clean the applicator sponge with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely. Replace the sponge periodically to ensure hygienic application and optimal performance. For daily use, consider having a few sponges on rotation.
- Brush Care: If using a brush, clean it regularly according to the brush manufacturer's instructions. A clean brush ensures smooth application and prevents product buildup.
- Prevent Contamination: Always close the compact tightly after use to prevent drying out and contamination.
