FAQs
How do I find my correct shade?
It is highly recommended to test shades directly on your jawline or neck, not your hand, in natural lighting. Allow the foundation to dry down completely to see its true color before making a selection. If possible, seek assistance from a beauty consultant.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
While it provides a luminous finish, many with oily skin find it works well when paired with an oil-controlling primer and set with a matte or translucent powder in oil-prone areas. Its lightweight nature helps prevent a heavy feel.
Can I build up the coverage?
Yes, this foundation is known for its buildable coverage. Start with a thin layer for sheer coverage, and apply additional thin layers to areas where more coverage is desired, allowing each layer to set slightly.
How should I store my foundation?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air exposure.
What is the typical shelf life once opened?
Most liquid foundations have a shelf life of 6-12 months once opened. Look for a small symbol on the packaging, often a jar with an open lid, indicating the 'period after opening' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months).
Does this foundation contain SPF?
Info needed: Specific SPF content (if any) is not provided in the product data. Always refer to the product packaging for detailed ingredient lists and SPF information. It's recommended to use a separate sunscreen underneath your foundation for adequate protection.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven
Ensure skin is well-moisturized and prepped. Try different application tools (brush, sponge, fingers) to see which works best for your skin type and desired finish. Blend thoroughly in small sections.
Foundation looks too heavy or 'caky'
Use less product. Start with a very small amount and build coverage gradually. A damp beauty sponge can help sheer out the product for a more natural finish.
Foundation doesn't last throughout the day
Apply a primer before foundation. Set the foundation with a light dusting of translucent setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness. Finish with a setting spray to lock makeup in place.
Shade looks different on skin than in bottle (oxidization)
Test shades on your jawline in natural light and wait a few minutes for it to settle before purchasing. If a shade oxidizes slightly, consider going a half-shade lighter next time.
Product separates in the bottle
This is often normal for liquid foundations. Shake the bottle gently but thoroughly before each use to re-emulsify the formula.

For optimal application, begin with a well-prepped base. Cleanse and moisturize your skin thoroughly. A primer can be used to extend wear or address specific skin concerns (e.g., pore-blurring, hydrating). This foundation is generally compatible with most liquid or cream primers. To maintain product integrity, store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent air exposure and drying out. Clean application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly to ensure hygienic application and optimal product transfer. Avoid diluting the foundation with other products inside the bottle, as this can affect its formula and shelf life.
