Step-by-Step Practical Guide:
Cleanse Your Face

Apply Toner (Optional)
- If you use toner, apply it with a cotton pad all over your face, avoiding the eye area.
Moisturise
- Take a small amount of moisturizer and gently massage it into your skin.
- Make sure to cover your entire face and neck.
- Wait a minute or two for it to absorb fully.
Prime Your Skin
- Apply a small amount of primer focusing on areas where makeup tends to wear off or pores are visible.
- Blend evenly over your face using fingers or a brush.
- Let it set for about a minute.
Apply Foundation
- Dot foundation onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
- Using a damp makeup sponge, brush, or clean fingers, blend foundation evenly outwards toward your jawline and hairline.
- Make sure the coverage is even, and blend into your neck for a seamless finish.
- Apply Colour Corrector (Optional)
- If needed, apply small amounts of colour corrector to areas with redness, dark spots, or dullness.
- Blend gently with your fingers or a sponge.
