How to use
How to Use:
Apply foundation after your usual skincare. Shake the bottle if stated on the packaging, then dispense a small, fingertip-sized amount. Dot onto areas that need coverage, such as cheeks, forehead and chin, then blend outwards over the face and down the neck. Build thin layers where more coverage is desired.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Apply to clean, well-moisturised skin using fingertips, a foundation brush or a damp sponge. Blend from the centre of the face outwards, taking care to diffuse any edges for a seamless finish. Allow each layer to settle before adding more.

Best Practices:
For smoother application, allow skincare to absorb fully before applying this product. Start with a small amount and build gradually to avoid a heavy finish. Pair with your usual daytime SPF and set with powder if you prefer extra shine control.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional if needed. Keep out of reach of children and follow any additional guidance on the packaging.

Using fingertips, a sponge, or a foundation brush, smooth the product over the face, starting at the centre and blending outwards. Add a little more where extra coverage is desired, allowing the first layer to settle before building.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to the product instructions and your make-up routine.

Application Technique:
Focus application on areas that need more evening, such as the centre of the face, then blend towards the hairline and jaw for a seamless finish. Use thin layers to maintain a natural, matte look and blend well around the nose and chin.

Best Practices:
Apply over moisturiser and, if desired, a primer suited to your skin type. Choose the 1W2 Sand shade if your skin is light with warm or yellow undertones. Allow the foundation to set before applying concealer, powder, or other complexion products.
