Frequently asked questions about
Foundation Products
Which foundation format is right for our brand and target consumer?
Liquid foundation offers the widest range of coverage and finishes. Serum foundation suits lightweight, skin-like positioning; cream and stick formats support richer coverage or convenient application; cushion foundation suits portable touch-ups; and powder foundation supports oil-control and compact use.
Share your target consumer, preferred finish, coverage and sales channel, and we can recommend a suitable development route.
Can you develop a scalable shade range for different skin tones and undertones?
Yes. We can develop a core launch range or a broader shade system across different depths and cool, warm, neutral, olive, peach or golden undertones.
The range can be planned for the target market and structured to support future regional expansion and shade additions.
How do you evaluate oxidation, wear and compatibility with skincare, primer and sunscreen?
We compare the freshly applied shade with the blended, set and wear-stage color while reviewing migration, creasing, fading and texture changes.
The formula can also be tested with the intended skincare, sunscreen, primer and setting products to identify pilling, separation, patchiness or excessive buildup.
Which packaging options are available for different foundation formats?
Liquid and serum foundations may use pump bottles, airless bottles, droppers or tubes. Cream, stick, cushion and powder formats can use jars, compacts, twist-up components, refillable cushion systems or pressed-powder cases.
Final selection depends on formula compatibility, dispensing or filling requirements, order quantity, target price and brand positioning.
