Control the puff amount
Press the puff gently into the sponge, then tap it two or three times against the inner lid to remove excess product. Spreading it thinly across the puff helps it apply seamlessly.

Swiping drags your skincare and leaves streaks. Tapping straight down presses the product in so skin looks smoother.

Center of face to edges
Start at the cheeks and forehead where you need the most coverage. Use only the remaining product on the puff as you move toward the jaw and hairline so the color fades naturally.

Fold puff for narrow crevices
Fold the puff in half and gently tap around the sides of the nose and under the eyes. Using only the leftover product helps prevent creasing or buildup on delicate areas.

- Removing excess product on the inner cap keeps even touch-ups from caking.
- Wash or replace your puff regularly so product applies evenly.
errorCommon mistake
Pressing a fully loaded puff directly onto the skin creates a thick layer that can cake and separate over time.
