Setup, Compatibility & Care
Shade Matching: Ensure the N4.5 shade matches your skin tone. Consider testing the shade on your jawline to check for a seamless blend.
Application Tools: Use a brush or sponge for application. A denser brush provides more coverage, while a fluffy brush offers a lighter finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for most skin types, particularly those seeking oil control and a matte finish. May be less suitable for very dry skin without proper moisturizing.
Care: Clean your application tools regularly. Store the foundation in a cool, dry place. Replace the foundation when the pan is empty or after 24 months.
Refilling: The foundation comes in refillable packaging. Purchase a refill of shade N4.5 when needed. Remove the old pan from the compact and insert the new refill.
