How do I build coverage and choose shade Golden Tan 20?

The loose texture lets you customize coverage: swipe lightly for a sheer veil or press and buff more product for medium to fuller coverage. Golden Tan 20 is intended for medium skin tones with warm-golden undertones; test near the jawline in natural light to confirm the match. Use a dense brush or puff to deposit pigment, then buff for a seamless finish.

• Sheer to full coverage depending on application technique
• Golden Tan 20 suits medium tones with warm/golden undertones
• Apply with a kabuki brush for all-over coverage or a puff for targeted application

Does it provide sun protection and what type is included?

The foundation includes mineral-based SPF 15 to help protect against UVA and UVB rays as part of your makeup routine. While it offers daily sun defense, it should not replace a dedicated sunscreen if you expect prolonged sun exposure. Layering a broad-spectrum sunscreen underneath is recommended for full sun protection.

• Best paired with a dedicated sunscreen for prolonged outdoor exposure
• Works as a convenient additional shield in daily makeup routines
