Troubleshooting
Foundation appears cakey or settles into fine lines
Reduce the amount of product used. Apply in thin layers and blend thoroughly. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and consider using a primer. A damp beauty sponge can help sheer out the application.
Doesn't last the full 16 hours
Prep your skin with a long-wearing primer. After application, set the foundation with a fine translucent setting powder, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or friction. Avoid touching your face excessively throughout the day.
Shade doesn't blend seamlessly with skin tone
Test shades on your jawline in natural light before purchasing. If a shade is slightly off, you can sometimes adjust it by mixing with another foundation shade or blending well down the neck. Ensure your lighting environment when applying is consistent with where you'll be seen.
Doesn't provide enough coverage for certain imperfections
This foundation offers medium, buildable coverage. For specific areas requiring more coverage (e.g., blemishes, dark spots), apply an additional thin layer of foundation by tapping it on with a finger or small brush, or use a targeted concealer underneath or over the foundation.
