Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup (First Use)
Upon first use, pump the dispenser a few times until the product begins to flow. Ensure the bottle is upright during this process.
Application Steps
- Prepare Your Skin: Cleanse, moisturize, and apply any preferred primer to create a smooth canvas.
- Dispense Product: Pump a small amount of foundation onto your hand.
- Apply to Face: Using a foundation brush, damp beauty sponge, or clean fingertips, dot the foundation onto key areas of your face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin).
- Blend Thoroughly: Gently blend the foundation from the center of your face outwards, ensuring seamless coverage and no visible lines, especially around the jawline and hairline. Build in light layers if more coverage is desired.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: The lightweight oxygen technology aims for comfortable wear across various skin types. Users with oily skin may benefit from a mattifying primer and setting powder, while those with dry skin should ensure thorough moisturization beforehand.
- Other Products: This foundation is designed to work well with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. Always allow each product to set slightly before applying the next.
Care & Maintenance
- Storage: Store the foundation bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers if possible. Always apply foundation with clean tools (brushes, sponges) or clean hands.
- Cleaning Tools: Regularly clean your foundation brushes and sponges to ensure hygienic application and prevent product buildup, which can affect blendability and finish.
- Expiration: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol, typically a jar with a number and 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), on the product packaging. This indicates how long the product is safe to use after opening.
