Apply a primer if desired to smooth the skin and enhance the foundation’s performance. Step 2: Dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or directly onto your face. Step 3: Use a foundation brush, makeup sponge, or your fingers to apply the foundation to your face. Blend it outwards from the center of your face. Step 4: Build up the coverage as needed by applying additional layers and blending thoroughly. Step 5: Set with a powder or setting spray if needed to enhance longevity and reduce shine further. Tips for Use: Shade Matching: Choose a shade that matches your skin tone for the most natural look. Test the shade in natural light if possible to ensure a good match. Blend Well: Blend the foundation into your neck and jawline to avoid visible lines and achieve a seamless finish. Layer Gradually: Apply in thin layers and build up coverage gradually to avoid a heavy or cakey appearance.

Skin-Smoothing Agents: Ingredients that help to blur imperfections and create a smooth, even surface. Additional Considerations: Skin Type: Ideal for oily and combination skin types due to its oil-control properties. If you have dry skin, consider using a hydrating primer or moisturizer to avoid potential dryness. Application Tools: Using the right tools can affect the finish. For a more airbrushed look, a makeup sponge or brush might be preferred.
