FAQs

What kind of finish does the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation - 16.5 provide?

It provides a natural, soft glow finish, designed to mimic the effect of soft, diffused light on the skin.

How long can I expect this foundation to last on my skin?

The foundation is formulated for long wear, providing up to 16 hours of medium, buildable coverage.

Is this foundation suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes, it is non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic, meaning it's formulated not to clog pores or cause breakouts, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.

Does this product offer any skin protection benefits?

Yes, it contains light-diffusing pigments that help protect against blue light and is infused with antioxidants like White Tea Extract and Vitamin E to protect against free radicals.

Is the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation - 16.5 vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, this foundation is both vegan and cruelty-free.

What is the recommended method for applying this foundation?

For best results, prep your skin with moisturizer and primer. Apply a pea-sized amount to the center of your face and blend outward using an Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush, gently buffing until the desired coverage is achieved.

Can I build up the coverage, or is it strictly medium coverage?

Yes, the foundation offers medium, buildable coverage. You can apply small amounts in layers to achieve your desired level of coverage.

What are 'blurring spheres' and what do they do?

Blurring spheres are ingredients within the foundation that provide a light-diffusing effect. They work to minimize the look of imperfections, fine lines, and wrinkles, contributing to the natural, soft glow finish.

Troubleshooting

Foundation looks patchy or uneven after application.

Ensure your skin is thoroughly moisturized and primed before application. Use a pea-sized amount and blend outward thoroughly with a brush, gently buffing into the skin. Patchiness can occur if the skin is dry or if too much product is applied initially.

The coverage isn't enough for my imperfections.

This foundation offers buildable coverage. Start with a small amount and apply it in thin layers. Allow each layer to set slightly before adding more. For targeted areas, use a smaller brush to gently tap and build coverage specifically where needed.

Foundation isn't lasting the claimed 16 hours.

Proper skin preparation with a primer is crucial for extended wear. Ensure you're not over-applying product, as thick layers can break down faster. For even longer wear, consider lightly setting your T-zone or areas prone to oil with a finely milled setting powder, though the foundation itself is designed for long wear.

My skin feels heavy or cakey after applying the foundation.

You might be using too much product. Start with a very small, pea-sized amount and blend it out thinly. The formula is concentrated. Buffing it gently with a brush helps it meld with your skin for a second-skin finish, preventing a heavy feel.

The foundation isn't blending smoothly.

Make sure your moisturizer and primer have fully absorbed into your skin before applying foundation. If skin is still wet, it can cause streaking. Using the recommended Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush or a similar dense buffing brush will aid in smooth blending.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation - 16.5 involves a few simple steps to ensure the best possible application and wear:

  1. Prep Your Skin: Before applying foundation, cleanse, moisturize, and prime your skin. A well-hydrated and primed base allows the foundation to glide on smoothly and prolongs its wear.
  2. Shake Well: Gently shake the foundation bottle before each use to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  3. Dispense Carefully: Use the pump to dispense a small, pea-sized amount onto a clean surface or directly onto your application tool.

Compatibility

  • Primer: For enhanced longevity and a smoother finish, use with a compatible face primer.
  • Moisturizer: Always apply over a fully absorbed moisturizer for optimal blendability and to prevent any dry patches.
  • Tools: While you can apply with fingers or a sponge, the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush is recommended for its specific design to buff the product into the skin for a seamless finish. Other dense foundation or buffing brushes can also be used effectively.
  • Other Makeup: This foundation layers well with concealers, powders, blushes, and bronzers, allowing for a complete makeup look.

Care

  • Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and shelf life. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use.
  • Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the pump directly with your fingers if possible. Keep your application brushes clean through regular washing with gentle soap and water.
