Our pigment bursting technology works best with the heat of clean fingers and the more you rub, the more pigment bursting will occur... the less you rub, the less colour pigment you will receive.
If it's too dark:
1) too much product is being used. We basically use tiny little encapsulated seaweed beads with pigment inside, which you can probably feel when you're blending. If too much comes out or gets used at one time, you'll end up with too much pigment. A trick I like to do is dot a tiny amount on first, then blend and add more if I need more coverage; this helps control the color change.
2) Use a moisturizer prior or mix it together! This will help the blend to become more effortless & seamless. And help it not flake (which are beads that weren't melted into the skin properly).
If it does not 100% match your tone, no fret- we are currently working with our lab to develop more ranges of tones.
Keep in mind - you can still utilize this as a primer or a night corrector to tackle blemishes while you sleep! #nightdots
