Use a clean Make-up Mixing Spatula to take the foundation out of the compact and place it on a Make-up Blending Plate or back of your hand. This will prevent cross contamination that can cause break outs on the face and also keep your product germ free. Apply Kryolan Ultra Foundation evenly using your fingers, brush or sponge of your preference. When applying foundation you may find it easier to work from the centre of the face out.
