Troubleshooting
Foundation appears cakey or settles into fine lines.
Ensure your skin is adequately moisturized before application. Use less product, building coverage gradually. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer, more natural finish, or blend thoroughly with a brush in small, circular motions.
Foundation doesn't last for the full 24 hours.
Start with a primer suited for your skin type to create an ideal base. Set your foundation with a light dusting of setting powder, especially in areas prone to oiliness. A setting spray can also help prolong wear.
Shade doesn't seem to match my skin tone.
Apply the foundation in natural light to assess the true match. Ensure you've considered your skin's undertone (cool, warm, neutral). If possible, try a small sample on your jawline before full application. Remember the product recommends ordering your usual shade as there have been no changes to the shade range.
Skin still looks shiny throughout the day.
While the foundation offers shine control, for very oily skin types, you may benefit from using an oil-controlling primer. Blotting papers can be used throughout the day to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup. Ensure your skincare routine includes mattifying products if oiliness is a persistent concern.

Setup and Application For best results, ensure your skin is clean, toned, and moisturized before application. Dispense a small amount of DIOR Forever Matte Foundation onto the back of your hand. Using a foundation brush, beauty sponge, or clean fingertips, dot the product onto the center of your face and blend outwards towards the hairline and jawline. Build coverage as needed, focusing on areas that require more attention.
