Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and prepped before application, especially if you have dry areas or fine lines. Apply the product with a lighter hand, using a damp sponge for a more sheer, blended finish. Avoid excessive layering. You can also use a hydrating mist after application to help melt the powder into the skin.

For extremely oily skin, ensure you are using an effective mattifying primer underneath the foundation. Apply the powder foundation to clean, prepped skin. Throughout the day, use oil-blotting papers to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup. Re-apply a light dusting of the powder in oily zones if necessary.

This can happen if skin is not adequately moisturized. Ensure your skincare routine provides sufficient hydration. After applying, a light mist of a hydrating setting spray can help the powder melt into the skin for a more natural, less powdery finish. Alternatively, use a fluffy brush for a very light application.
