  • Hydration is Key: Starting with moisturized skin makes application more even across drier and oilier areas.

  • Grab a Sponge: Pressing with a sponge helps foundation absorb more easily.

  • Get Hands On: The warmth of your fingers helps foundation adhere best.

  • Pick the Perfect Shade: Use the inside of your wrist or neck to check if it’s right for you.
