Makeup Forever also has a few tips for any who want to get the most out of their newest foundation. The brand reveals,

With Matte Velvet Skin, it will ensure a medium coverage with just a small drop of product. Don’t forget to dampen it with water and wring it out the excess completely.

Always apply from the center of the face to the outer in order to unify the most visible part of the face and avoid any mask effects on the jawbones and forehead. [Lastly] shades may appear lighter when first applied. Make sure you refer to the dry shades when choosing yours.”
