How to apply
- Prep the skin with moisturiser and let it absorb fully before applying makeup
- Shake the bottle, then dispense 1–2 pumps onto the back of the hand
- Apply with a damp Beautyblender, a flat foundation brush or fingertips, starting from the centre of the face and blending outwards
- Build coverage gradually in areas that need it most rather than applying a thicker single layer
- Set with a light dusting of translucent powder along the T-zone if desired
