Pro tips for best results

To maximize longevity and radiance, start with a clean base and apply a small amount of foundation where you need coverage. Use a brush, sponge, or clean fingertips to build up coverage in sheer layers, focusing on areas with uneven texture or discoloration. Allow the finish to set briefly before adding any additional product, then follow with your preferred setting steps if desired. The result is a natural, skin-like glow that endures without appearing flat or dull.
