HOW TO APPLY AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION
The best way to apply this foundation is with a dense but fluffy brush. It creates a full-coverage, long-wearing finish and it sets quickly, so applying a small amount at a time will ensure that blending is easy.
The finish is quite mattifying too, so for the smoothest finish, make sure you prep your skin well with a good serum, moisturiser and primer as hydration is key.
IS AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION WATER BASED OR OIL BASED?
Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation is a water-based formula.
DOES AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION CONTAIN SPF?
No, it doesn’t, so make sure you apply {SPF} as the final step in your skin care routine every morning before applying your foundation.
IS AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION GOOD FOR OILY SKIN?
Yes! As the finish is matte, this foundation works really well for oily skin types. It's very long-wearing so perfect for someone who finds that their {make up} doesn't usually last throughout the day. We would still advise pairing with a primer, setting powder and setting spray to keep it in place.
IS AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION GOOD FOR DRY SKIN?
Yes. The finish of this foundation is matte but it can work for dry skin types as long as your base is prepped really well. Hydration is key so an essence, serum, rich moisturiser and hydrating primer are essential steps before applying this foundation.
Keep application really minimal if possible to avoid emphasising texture on the skin, and only set with powder where necessary. Instead, a setting spray will help to keep the foundation in place without looking or feeling dry on the skin.
IS AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS FOUNDATION GOOD FOR MATURE SKIN?
Yes. This foundation can work for mature skin types as long as your base is prepped really well. Hydration is essential so applying an essence, serum, rich moisturiser and hydrating primer are a must before going in with Airbrush Flawless Foundation
Keep the application minimal to avoid emphasising texture on the skin, only focusing on areas that you would like to cover most. When it comes to setting powder, only apply this where necessary and rely on setting spray instead to keep the foundation in place without looking or feeling dry.
