Frequently asked
Common questions.
Will foundation make my oily skin worse?
Wrong foundation can clog pores. Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic formulas.
Should I set my foundation with powder?
Yes, T-zone only. Heavy all-over powder dries skin and emphasises texture.
How can I make foundation last on oily skin?
Primer + foundation + powder + setting spray. Layer system.
