Frequently asked
Common questions.
How do I prep mature skin for foundation?
Hydrate generously the night before. Apply HA serum + moisturiser in the morning. Wait 60+ seconds before foundation.
Powder or liquid foundation for mature skin?
Liquid for dewy finish; cream for natural-looking coverage. Avoid powder all-over (emphasises texture).
Best application method?
Damp beauty blender, stippled. Brushes are too dragging on mature skin.
