How to Use

1. Begin with clean, primed skin.

2. Decide your coverage style:

   • Use the sponge side of the compact for fuller, foundation-type coverage.

   • Use the velour/velvet side for lighter, setting or touch-up coverage.

   • For sheer finish: dampen the applicator slightly and apply. 

3. Apply starting from the centre of the face, blending outward toward hairline and jawline for even finish.

4. If using over a liquid foundation: allow the liquid to set first, then apply this powder to lock in and control shine.

5. For midday touch-ups: use light pressure with the velour side to refresh T-zone or oily patches.

6. Close compact tightly after use to maintain product integrity.
