How to Use
- Prep skin with a lightweight moisturizer to create a smooth, even canvas for application.
- Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a makeup palette to control coverage.
- Using a brush or damp sponge, apply starting at the center of the face and buff outward in small, circular motions for seamless blending.
- Layer gradually to build coverage where needed, focusing on areas with redness or uneven tone without piling product in fine lines.
- For dryer areas, consider a thin layer to prevent caking; for oilier zones, a light dusting of translucent powder can extend wear.
- Blend along jawline and hairline to ensure a natural transition; avoid leaving a distinct edge between face and neck.
- During the day, touch up as needed with a small amount of product or blotting powder to maintain a fresh finish.
