    Does it come with the application brush or do I have to buy it separate?

    Asked by: DanaMPlonk
    Hello DanaMPlonk, For best results, we recommend applying the Loose Powder Foundation with the Beautiful Finish Brush (sold separately). It deposits the ideal amount of minerals and fits perfectly into the cap. In addition, it is designed to work perfectly to apply using our signature Swirl, Tap, Buff application method that will give you buildable, seamless, natural-looking coverage and finish.

    I used to use Fairly Medium but it was too orange and dark. I went in to Ulta to get color matched and they gave me Fair 01, but that’s way too light. I have light skin with pink undertones, sometimes described as cool. What color would you recommend? 

    Asked by: AuroraB
    Hello AuroraB, Sadly, there are no shades between Fair 01 and Fairly Medium 05 with a cool-pink undertone in the Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation SPF 15 collection. You can hover your cursor over the colors for a brief description of each shade. However, a great way to warm up your complexion is by adding bronzer so you may control the level of warmth. We recommend Faux Tan All-Over Face Color Bronzer, a loose mineral bronzer that provides a sun-kissed look with a natural-looking finish. -Brittny, Clean Beauty Artist

    These don't seem to go in numerical order, is that right? Like fair ivory 02 actually seems darker than fairly medium 05, is it? So if 05 is just a bit too light, which cool/neutral is one shade darker that I should try?
