For best results, it's recommended to test shades in person on your jawline or neck. Observe the shade in natural light to ensure it blends seamlessly with your skin tone. N4 is a specific shade in the range, indicating a particular undertone and depth.
While it's primarily designed for oily and combination skin, individuals with dry skin can use it. However, it's crucial to thoroughly moisturize and use a hydrating primer beforehand to prevent it from clinging to dry patches. A setting spray can also help.
For full coverage, use the included sponge applicator. Press and roll the product onto your skin, building up layers in areas where more coverage is desired. This method ensures maximum payoff and a smooth finish.
Yes, the refillable design is straightforward. Once your current powder pan is empty, you can easily pop it out and insert a new refill pan into the compact, contributing to less waste.
Absolutely. Its 'Plus Foundation' aspect means it can provide coverage, but its powder form also makes it an excellent setting powder over liquid or cream foundations to mattify and extend wear, especially in your T-zone.
For optimal hygiene and application, it's recommended to clean the sponge applicator after every 1-2 uses. This prevents product buildup and bacterial growth.
Apply less product. Instead of sweeping, try pressing the sponge gently onto the skin. Ensure your skin is well-prepped and moisturized. A lighter hand with a fluffy brush can also prevent a heavy look.
The new formula is designed to be colour-true. Ensure you selected the correct shade by testing it in natural light. If oxidation still occurs, ensure your skincare products are fully absorbed before application.
Ensure skin is properly cleansed and primed with an oil-control primer before application. Blotting papers can be used for mid-day touch-ups in extremely oily areas. Re-apply a light layer of powder to oily zones if needed.
Exfoliate and thoroughly moisturize your skin before application. Use a hydrating primer. Apply powder only to areas that need coverage and oil control, avoiding very dry zones. A setting spray can also help to melt the powder into the skin.
Ensure your sponge or brush is clean. For full coverage, press and roll the sponge onto the skin. For lighter coverage, use a fluffy brush and blend well. Build coverage in thin layers rather than one thick application.
