The Witchcraft Guide to a Flawless Porcelain Canvas

Your ritual starts before the first drop touches your skin

White foundation behaves differently from traditional shades.

It’s more pigment heavy, more visible on the skin, and far less forgiving of dryness, texture, or the wrong primer underneath.
Which means technique matters just as much as formula.

The good news?Once you know the ritual, it’s easy.

Here’s exactly how we recommend applying White Witchcraft Foundation for the smoothest, most opaque, streak-free finish.

Step 1 : Skin prep is everything (seriously)

If white foundation ever looks patchy, flaky, or lifts while powdering… it’s almost always prep.

Think: hydrated, not tacky. smooth, not slippery.

Do:

🖤 Cleanse gently
🖤 Apply moisturiser and let it fully absorb (5–10 mins)
🖤 Blot excess skincare if skin feels slick

Hydrated skin lets pigment glide. Wet or sticky skin makes it separate.

Avoid:

✖ Heavy oils
✖ Thick balms
✖ Silicone overload
✖ Anything that stays greasy on top of the skin

If the surface feels slippery, the foundation will slide too.

Step 2: Choose your primer carefully

This is the part most people don’t realise.

Some “grip” or ultra-tacky primers can actually lift white pigment instead of holding it.

They can cause:

• patchiness

• pilling

• product pulling away when you powder

• streaks

Best primers for white base:

✨ light hydrating primers
✨ smoothing/blur primers
✨ thin lotion style primers

Less ideal:

⚠ very sticky “glue-like” grip primers
⚠ heavy silicone putty primers
⚠ thick mattifying pastes

When in doubt Moisturiser alone is perfect.

 

Step 3: Apply in thin layers (not one thick coat)

White pigment needs layering, not flooding.

Applying too much at once = streaks + texture.

Our method:

🖤 Start with a small amount
🖤 Dot onto skin
🖤 Blend thinly
🖤 Let settle 20–30 seconds
🖤 Repeat until desired opacity

You’ll get a smoother, more even finish with less product.

Step 4 : Press, don’t drag

This is the secret most people miss.

When setting with powder:

❌ Don’t swipe
❌ Don’t rub

✅ Press or roll your puff/sponge gently into the skin

Dragging can physically pull the white pigment back off the face (especially with fresh foundation).

Pressing locks everything in place.

Step 5 — Customise your coverage

White Witchcraft Foundation isn’t just a base, it’s beauty alchemy.

Use it to:
🖤 create a full white canvas
🖤 lighten other foundations
🖤 mix custom porcelain shades
🖤 build editorial, gothic, cosplay or stage looks

A few drops transforms any shade instantly.

Quick troubleshooting

“It looks streaky”

→ Use less product + build thinner layers

“Powder lifts it”

→ Let foundation set first + press powder instead of sweeping

“It separates”

→ Switch primer or reduce skincare underneath

“Too heavy”

→ Use a damp sponge for a sheerer first layer

 

The final result

A smooth, breathable, high impact white base that looks like skin, not paint. This isn’t costume makeup, It’s foundation, refined.

 

 

🖤 White Foundation FAQ

What is white foundation used for?

White foundation is used to create a true white or porcelain base. It can also be mixed with other foundations to lighten shades and create custom colour matches.

Why does white foundation look streaky sometimes?

White foundation contains high levels of pigment, which means it shows texture more easily than traditional shades.
Streaks are usually caused by:

• applying too much product at once

• dry skin

• sticky primers

• or dragging powder across the skin

Applying in thin layers and pressing powder instead of sweeping will give a smoother finish.

What primer works best under white foundation?

Lightweight hydrating or smoothing primers work best.
Very sticky “grip” primers or thick silicone putties can cause lifting or patchiness.

Sometimes moisturiser alone creates the most even base.

How do I stop foundation lifting when I powder?

Let the foundation settle for 20–30 seconds, then gently press powder into the skin with a puff or sponge.
Avoid dragging or wiping motions, as this can remove pigment.

Can I mix white foundation with other shades?

Yes. White foundation is perfect for customising your base.
Mix a few drops into your regular foundation to create lighter or porcelain tones without changing the formula’s finish.

Is White Witchcraft Foundation vegan and cruelty-free?

Always. Like everything at VE Cosmetics, it’s 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and never tested on animals.
