Troubleshooting
Foundation appears patchy or uneven after application.
Ensure skin is properly moisturized and primed before applying. Use a pea-sized amount and blend outward thoroughly with a foundation brush. Avoid applying too much product at once.
Foundation does not last the full 16 hours or wears off quickly.
Confirm you've prepped your skin with both moisturizer and primer. If needed, consider setting the foundation with a lightweight translucent powder, especially in oilier areas.
Foundation looks too heavy or cakey.
Use less product initially and build coverage in thin layers. Ensure you are buffing the foundation into the skin rather than just spreading it on the surface. A damp sponge can also help sheer out application.
Desired 'soft glow' finish is not visible.
Make sure your skin is well-hydrated. Apply foundation with a buffing motion using a brush rather than a patting motion to help activate the light-diffusing properties. Avoid excessive powder application, which can dull the glow.
Foundation transfers despite being transfer-resistant.
Allow the foundation a few minutes to set after application. For areas prone to transfer, a light dusting of setting powder can further minimize this. Avoid touching your face excessively.
