Ensure you are using the 'SWIRL, TAP, BUFF' method correctly. Use less product, tap off excess thoroughly, and buff more vigorously in circular motions to help the minerals adhere smoothly to the skin. Make sure your skin is well-moisturized before application.

Prepare your skin with a good moisturizer before application. After applying, try lightly misting your face with a hydrating facial spray or setting spray to help the minerals meld with your skin for a more natural finish. Also, ensure you are not using too much product at once.

The bareMinerals foundation is buildable. Instead of applying a large amount at once, apply several thin layers using the SWIRL, TAP, BUFF method until you reach your desired level of coverage. Focus on problem areas with extra buffing.

It is normal for new brushes to shed a few bristles during the first few uses or cleanings. If excessive shedding continues, ensure you are cleaning the brush gently and allowing it to dry properly. Avoid harsh scrubbing or pulling on the bristles.

While the foundation itself offers good wear, for extended longevity, consider using a bareMinerals primer (not included in this set) underneath your foundation and always set your makeup with the MINERAL VEIL finishing powder provided in the kit. Also, avoid touching your face throughout the day.
