Troubleshooting
Concealer looks cakey or heavy.
You might be using too much product. This is a full-coverage concealer, so a very small amount is needed. Try dabbing a tiny bit and blending it out thoroughly with your finger or a damp sponge. Ensure your skin is well-prepped and hydrated underneath.
Concealer settles into fine lines or creases.
While designed not to settle, sometimes slight creasing can occur depending on skin type or application. Try applying a very thin layer and pressing it gently into the skin. You can also lightly set the area with a translucent setting powder after application. Ensure the under-eye area is adequately moisturized before application.
Shade looks off after application.
Concealers can oxidize or dry down slightly differently. Always allow the concealer to dry completely after application, especially when testing shades. If the current shade consistently appears too dark or light, consider trying a neighboring shade variant.
Product is difficult to blend.
Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. The warmth from your finger often helps with blending this creamy formula. If using a brush, make sure it's clean and try a dabbing motion rather than dragging. A small amount of facial mist can also help if the skin feels dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Shade Matching: To find your perfect shade, apply a small amount of the concealer along your jawline and allow it to dry down completely. The true color will reveal itself as it sets. Shades may appear slightly different across various formulas, so always test.
Application Tools: While ideal for finger application, you can also use a small, dense concealer brush or a beauty sponge for blending. The key is to pat and press the product into the skin rather than rubbing.
Compatibility: This concealer is oil-free and designed to be compatible with various skin types, including those prone to oiliness or breakouts, due to its non-comedogenic nature. Its skin-caring ingredients (peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, C, E) make it beneficial for mature skin or those seeking added skincare benefits.
Storage: Store the concealer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its texture and efficacy.
Care: Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its creamy consistency. Avoid introducing water or other liquids into the product.
