FAQs

What skin type should use matte foundation?

Matte foundation is ideal for oily skin or combination skin that needs to control shine throughout the day. If you have dry skin, look for a formula that is hydrating or contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid to prevent a flat or cakey finish. Our Modern Matte Foundation delivers a soft-focus, blurring foundation effect while remaining lightweight and buildable, suitable for all skin types.

What are common foundation mistakes?

Some of the most frequent errors include applying too much product, using the wrong primer, or skipping setting powder, which can cause uneven texture or a heavy finish. Another mistake is mismatching undertones, which affects the natural complexion. For a flawless look, apply Modern Matte Foundation with a sponge or brush, layering for full coverage where needed, and finish with a finishing powder if desired.

Can I wear matte foundation with SPF or over skincare?

Absolutely! Modern Matte Foundation layers effortlessly over skincare and SPF, giving a matte finish without feeling heavy. Start with your serum and moisturizer, then apply a primer to create a smooth canvas. The formula’s buildable coverage ensures your skin remains radiant yet controls shine throughout the day.

How do I choose between a matte finish and a dewy finish?

Choosing between a matte finish and a dewy finish depends on your skin type and desired look. If you have oily skin or want long-wearing coverage that blurs imperfections, a matte foundation is ideal. For dry skin or a naturally radiant complexion, a dewy finish foundation can enhance a luminous glow. Modern Matte Foundation strikes the perfect balance—it gives a soft-focus, flawless finish while remaining breathable, making it versatile for layering with powder or other satin-finish products.
