Troubleshooting
Foundation does not last 24 hours.
Ensure skin is properly prepped with a primer and moisturiser. Apply thin, even layers and consider setting with a powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness or friction.
Foundation feels heavy or looks cakey.
Use a smaller amount of product. Apply in thin layers and blend thoroughly using a damp makeup sponge or a brush, ensuring smooth application. Less product often yields better results with full coverage formulas.
Foundation is not transfer-proof/waterproof as expected.
Allow the foundation sufficient time to set on the skin after application (typically a few minutes). Avoid excessive rubbing or touching of the face. For enhanced durability, a setting spray can be used.
Skin does not feel softer/smoother after two weeks.
Ensure consistent daily use of the foundation. Skincare benefits accumulate over time, so regular application is key. Also, maintain a good overall skincare routine.
My skin appears too matte or not luminous enough.
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. For more luminosity, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into the foundation or apply a radiant primer underneath. For a more matte look, apply a matte setting powder.
