Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How do I choose the right foundation shade?
Test on your jawline or neck in daylight, never on your hand. The right shade disappears into your skin. Between 2 shades, choose the lighter one.
How do I apply foundation?
With your fingers for a natural finish, a sponge for an even finish, a brush for more coverage. Work from the centre of your face outwards and blend well at the jaw and hairline.
How do I make my foundation last longer?
Use a primer underneath, set with powder and finish with a setting spray if you like.
