Makeup questions and answers

How do I choose the correct foundation shade?

Compare depth and undertone on a relevant face or jaw area in daylight when possible. Let the formula settle before deciding and check the seller return policy because screens can distort colour.

What is the difference between primer and moisturiser?

Moisturiser supports skin comfort; primer is an optional makeup-preparation product for finish, grip or texture. A primer cannot replace suitable skincare or guarantee longer wear with every foundation.

What does a colour corrector do?

A colour corrector uses a small amount of contrasting colour to reduce the visible appearance of a specific tone before concealer or foundation. The right colour and depth depend on the concern and skin tone.

Why does foundation separate during the day?

Excess layers, incompatible products, oil buildup, dryness, rubbing and climate can contribute. Test fewer products in smaller amounts and change one layer at a time to identify the cause.

How often should makeup brushes be cleaned?

Clean tools regularly based on use, product type and whether they are shared. Let them dry fully and never share eye or lip products when hygiene is a concern. Replace tools that cannot be cleaned properly.
