Questions we get a lot
Will it settle into my fine lines?+
No. Our foundation is formulated to sit on top of skin rather than sink in, which is exactly why it was built this way in 1980 for mature and reactive skin. Customers in their 70s and 80s are our most loyal repeat buyers. For the smoothest finish, tap foundation on with a Danyel foundation sponge and set with a light dusting of translucent powder.
Do I need a primer underneath?+
No primer needed. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Our alcohol-free toner preps skin for foundation, and a thin layer of Rapid Wrinkle Erase makes a good base that helps everything glide. Let it sink in for a minute or two first.
How do I find my shade?+
Match at your jawline in natural light, not on your wrist or the back of your hand. Still not sure? Call us at 1-800-356-9642 and we'll help you match.
I'm between two shades. Which do I pick?+
Go with the lighter of the two. Our formulas warm slightly as they blend, and a shade that reads marginally light looks natural in daylight. Or call us and we'll help you choose.
Will the translucent powder work on my skin tone?+
Yes. It's translucent, so one shade works on every skin tone without changing the color of your foundation. A light dusting sets your look without caking or settling into lines.
How long does it last through the day?+
All day. It was built to hold up through Southern heat and humidity. A thin layer and a light dusting of translucent powder in the T-zone give you the most wear.
Does the foundation have SPF?+
Our Pressed Creme Foundation offers a natural SPF 15 from the titanium dioxide in the formula. Many customers who can't find a face sunscreen that doesn't irritate their skin use it as an alternative. If you'll be in the sun for a long time, add a sunscreen you trust.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?+
Yes. Every Danyel formula is fragrance-free and mineral-oil free, and we've had almost zero allergic reactions across 45 years and 5,000+ salons. If your skin reacts to most makeup, this line was built for you. If you're unsure, patch test on the inside of your elbow first. One tip: don't wash and reuse makeup sponges. Soap gets trapped inside, and it's behind almost every reaction we've seen.
What if it isn't right for me?+
Call us first at 1-800-356-9642. Most issues can be fixed without sending anything back. If we can't make it right, every product carries a 100% money-back guarantee.
