Right after skincare, as the first step in your base makeup
On days when you want to skip sunscreen or makeup primer, this foundation's SPF 50+ PA++++ protection lets you start your base routine with just one product. If you do use a primer, wait until it's fully absorbed before applying. After foundation, follow with concealer for targeted coverage, then set with powder to finish.
Shake, spread thin, and tap to blend
Give the bottle a gentle shake before use to mix the formula. Dispense 1–2 pumps onto the back of your hand, then use a puff or brush to spread a thin layer from the center of your face outward. Tap gently along the skin's texture to help the formula settle seamlessly into pores for natural-looking coverage. For areas that need extra attention—like dark spots or under-eye circles—build up thin layers gradually for precise, weightless coverage.
For days when you need flawless skin from morning to night
- Daily: Apply one sheer layer for a natural, barely-there finish
- Office: The semi-matte finish stays shine-free and polished under office lighting
- Special occasions: Layer for higher coverage and rely on 24-hour lasting power to keep your complexion radiant without darkening throughout the day
Pairings that work with a semi-matte base
Keep the Gleam Coverage Cushion from the same line in your bag for quick touch-ups on the go. For extra longevity, lightly dust setting powder over oily areas like the T-zone. Add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your cheekbones and bridge of your nose for added dimension.
Cleansing and storage tips
Start with a makeup remover or cleansing oil to dissolve the base, then follow with a foam cleanser. Wipe the pump nozzle clean with a tissue after each use to keep it hygienic, and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. For best results, use within the period indicated on the product after opening.
