Because this makeup is cream-based, it can be affected by the temperature. This means that it might get a little harder during the colder months. This can make it a little more difficult to apply. But you can easily combat this by heating it up with a hair dryer. Just run your hair dryer over the compact for a few seconds to soften up the cream! Because the makeup is made in a heating and cooling process, the heat should not negatively affect the makeup. However, be careful not to heat up any shades that have a glossy texture or have shimmer (like illuminators).
You might also find that when your makeup first arrives, there is an invisible film along the top. This film can occur when it cools off after being poured into the tin when it was made. So don’t be afraid to press a little harder and apply a bit more pressure with your brush to break through that invisible film and get to the more pigmented color below. You can also just run your finger across the top of the makeup a few times (using moderate pressure) to do this as well.
Also, take note that the contour naturally has a stiffer consistency than the other shades. This is because the formulation of the contour is not as creamy as the others. If the contour’s stiffer nature creates a bit of an issue for you, see the section on Stiff Contour.
