Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven
Ensure skin is well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Use a primer for a smoother canvas. Blend thoroughly using small, circular motions.
Foundation doesn't last throughout the day
Apply a good quality primer before foundation. Consider setting your foundation with a translucent powder, especially in oily areas or for extended wear.
Shade looks different after application
Allow the foundation to fully dry on the skin to see its true color. Always test shades on your jawline in natural light before purchase to ensure an accurate match.
Product feels heavy or caky
Use less product and build coverage gradually. A damp beauty sponge can help sheer out the foundation for a lighter feel. Ensure your moisturizer has fully absorbed.
