This latest foundation comes in the form of a compact, but is nowhere near as chalky as coloured powders. Think of it as a travel-friendly BB cream product that won’t spill in your precious makeup bag, with the superpowers of buildable coverage.

If You Like Light Coverage

A light layer of base is ideal for everyday wear, as it lets your skin breathe and natural colour shine through.

“To use, dip your sponge into the compact and pat it over your skin,” says Srokowski. “There’s more than 800,000 holes in the compact, and it captures just the right amount of product in each application. Not only will it give you a light veil of colour, the cooling formula also provides a refreshing feeling to your skin.”

If You Like Heavy Coverage

Apply the same product using a different method for nighttime wear or for a more heavy-handed look.

“Dip the puff once again into the compact and sweep it across your skin,” continues Srokowski. “This method lets you achieve more coverage for problematic areas (like redness). Even with this application you won’t look like you’re wearing too much makeup – the finish is more like a second skin.”

If You Want To Touch-up

It’s 12pm, and you’re starting to resemble something like an oil-slick. To reverse this look, try this following method.

“Using the puff, dip it into the compact and pat it down the T-zone if you have combination skin,” says Srokowski. “Or if you have oily skin, dab it over specific areas to remove shininess.”

If You Want To Highlight

Did you know that you can even add luminosity to your face using the very same product? Just use a lighter shade than your normal foundation colour.

“With your ring finger, dip it into the compact then pat it over your cheekbones, down the centre of your nose, over the top of the cupid’s bow, on your chin, and a little on your forehead,” says Srokowski. “This finger is the most gentle and effectively distributes the makeup without picking up too much product.”
