Getting foundation right is the difference between a look that feels heavy and one that feels like your skin — only better. At Lavertu, we believe makeup should care for your skin while it enhances it. Here's how to get the most out of your foundation routine.

Step 1: Start with clean, moisturised skin

Foundation applies most smoothly on a hydrated base. Allow your moisturiser to absorb for a minute or two before you begin.

Step 2: Choose the right tool

For a seamless, buildable finish, we recommend using the Foundation Brush. Its dense, flat shape buffs product evenly into the skin without streaking.

Step 3: Apply the Colour Adapting Foundation

Our Colour Adapting Foundation is formulated to adapt to your unique skin tone — so you don't need to stress about finding an exact shade match. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand, then pick up product with your brush in circular buffing motions, working outward from the centre of your face.

Step 4: Build where you need it

The beauty of a skin-caring formula is that it layers without caking. Apply a second layer only where you want more coverage — around the nose, chin, or any areas of redness.

Step 5: Set and go

Finish with a light dusting of setting powder if you prefer a matte look, or leave it as-is for a natural, dewy finish.

Pro tip: If you love the formula and want to reduce waste, our Colour Adapting Foundation Refill lets you keep your original packaging and simply swap in a fresh cartridge.
