Makeup tips: Apply a small amount at a time for a lighter, more natural finish. Choose a primer and setting product to suit your skin type for a better finish.

Application steps:

1. Dab a suitable amount of concealer onto areas of concern and blend the edges evenly.
2. Spread a suitable amount of liquid foundation over the face and eye area.
3. Wet the puff, remove excess water with a tissue, then quickly pat the foundation evenly into the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the differences between the three versions? The small-tube foundation uses film-forming technology with a gel-like feel and is designed for lasting wear. The dry-skin version is more hydrating and lightweight, and is suitable for normal to dry skin. The combination-oily version absorbs facial oil while replenishing moisture and aims to balance the skin; it is recommended for normal to combination-oily skin. The newly introduced oily-skin version was developed for oily skin, with 24-hour oil control to keep makeup looking clean and fresh.

Q2: Does it feel tight or drying? The small-tube foundation uses a balanced blend of soft and hard film formers (the combination-oily version does not contain the soft film former). The flexible, breathable soft film balances the feel of the gel-like hard film, helping makeup resist rubbing and last while remaining comfortable and breathable. The dry-skin and combination-oily versions also contain multiple moisturizing ingredients to provide ongoing hydration and help prevent caking and creasing. The oily-skin version uses spherical powder to absorb oil and repel water, helping control oil without drying the skin. Choosing the version suited to your skin type can help avoid a tight feeling.

Q3: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? The small-tube foundation does not contain irritating ingredients or traditional preservatives. It has also been tested on subjects and is described as suitable for sensitive skin, with comfortable wear.
