Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q 1. Can I use the powder foundation if I have dry skin?
Yes! Just make sure to prep your skin with a hydrating primer or moisturizer before applying. Our formula is lightweight and won’t cling to dry patches when applied over a well-moisturized base.
Q 2. Does the setting spray work over powder?
Absolutely. It’s designed to lock in makeup without disturbing your base—even over powder or setting products.
Q 3. Will the Sculpt & Glow Duo Stick melt in my bag?
Nope! It’s made with a stable formula that holds up even in summer heat. Just try not to leave it in direct sun or a hot car for too long.
Q 4. Is the Lip Divine Liquid Lipstick transfer-proof?
It’s long-wearing and won’t smudge easily, but like all creamy-matte formulas, some minimal transfer can occur. Still, it holds strong through drinks and meals.
Q 5. Can I wear the Soft Focus Powder alone?
Totally! On no-makeup days, you can dust it over bare skin to reduce shine and blur pores.
