Tip: Blend this foundation with a fluffy brush from the back of the hand to the face. This helps warm the makeup and makes it easier to buff on.
The best way to use it?
I hate foundation that leaves what I call "a cake face look" on the skin. With this makeup, you can build up coats of sheer cover and never feel like you’re wearing a base at all. I like to blend this foundation with a fluffy brush from the back of my hand to my face when applying it, and then build coverage by dabbing on a little extra where needed. Finally, finish the look by buffing away any lines with a clean fluffy powder brush. The result lives up to its name; it leaves skin looking luminous, for hours.
