What Is Buildable?
Buildable means a product can be applied in layers to increase coverage or intensity without looking cakey.
Buildable foundations, blushes, and eyeshadows let you start light and add more where needed. It's a flexible approach that works for both natural and more dramatic looks.
Tips
- Start with a small amount and build in thin layers. Blend between layers.
