What this product includes and how it works

This product is described as non-comedogenic and non-caking, with a formula designed to set makeup without altering the color of foundation or tinted moisturizers. It is intended for use after creamy formulas and can be applied with the Velour Puff (sold separately) to press the powder into the skin for a lasting matte finish. The powder is specifically formulated to reduce shine, absorb excess oil, and provide a soft-focus effect suitable for photography.

Usage tips and suitability

Ideal for anyone wanting long-lasting makeup with a matte appearance and minimal texture. Apply after creams and blush, using a rolling motion to work the powder into the skin. For under-eye brightening, a separate product is suggested. Follow the included product instructions for puff preparation and application.

Notes: If you wear foundation or tinted moisturizer, this powder should not alter their color. It is designed to stay matte all day and to avoid oxidation. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
