Our Changing Foundation is designed to simplify your beauty routine—it adapts to your skin tone on contact, delivering a smooth, natural finish without the guesswork. But if you want it to look and last its best, pairing it with the right prep and setting steps makes all the difference.
Here’s your full guide to making the Changing Foundation
truly melt into your skin—with the help of a few Meroda essentials.
Step 1: Start with Our Velvet Skin Primer
A smooth base is key.
Before applying the foundation, use a thin layer of our Velvet Skin Primer. This hydrating, blurring formula fills in pores, evens out texture, and preps your skin so your foundation can glide on effortlessly.
Bonus: It gives a silky-soft finish and helps prevent foundation from clinging to dry patches or sliding off during the day.
Step 2: Use a Small Amount
Less is more with this formula.
Squeeze out a pea-sized amount of the Changing Foundation and dot it across your face—forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. It blends out easily and offers buildable coverage, so you can always add more if needed.
Tip: Applying too much at once may delay the color adaptation process—start light and build gradually.
Step 3: Blend with Your Fingers (Yes, Really!)
This foundation is heat-activated—that means your fingertips are the best tool.
Gently blend the product into your skin using clean fingers. As your body heat warms up the formula, it begins to adapt to your unique skin tone. You’ll see it change color and adjust right before your eyes.
Need a tool? Our 2-in-1 Build & Conceal Brush is also great for finishing touches or layering over problem areas.
Step 4: Let It Settle
Give it 10–20 seconds.
Once blended, pause and let the formula work its magic. The pigments need a few moments to fully adapt. You’ll start to see a natural-looking, seamless match take shape with a breathable, skin-like finish.
Step 5: Lock It In with Our Make Me Last Setting Spray
Want your look to last all day?
After your foundation is set, spritz on our Make Me Last Setting Spray. It seals in makeup without feeling heavy or sticky and adds a soft-focus finish that holds up through heat, humidity, and long days.
Bonus: It also boosts hydration and prevents fading, especially if you’re applying blush or shimmer on top.
