Setup
There is no specific 'setup' required for foundation beyond ensuring your skin is prepped. Always shake the bottle gently before use if the product has been sitting for a while.
Compatibility
- Primers: This foundation is generally compatible with most silicone-based or water-based primers. Choose a primer that addresses your specific skin concerns (e.g., hydrating, mattifying, pore-filling).
- Concealers: Works well with both liquid and cream concealers. Apply concealer after foundation for the most natural look.
- Setting Powders/Sprays: Compatible with various setting powders (loose or pressed) and setting sprays to prolong wear and finish.
- Skincare: Ensure any serums, moisturizers, or sunscreens are fully absorbed before applying foundation to prevent pilling.
Care and Storage
- Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing in humid environments like bathrooms if possible, as this can affect product integrity over time.
- Hygiene: Always apply with clean hands, brushes, or sponges to prevent bacterial contamination of the product and your skin.
- Expiration: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M', e.g., '12M') on the packaging, which indicates how many months the product is good for after opening. Dispose of the product after this period.
