Most pressed powders either leave skin looking flat or sit heavily on the surface; this one is designed to control shine while keeping your complexion looking naturally polished and comfortable. It sets your base, softens the look of imperfections and helps make-up stay fresh for longer, without a tight, dry finish.

Talc, kaolin and Zea Mays (corn) starch help absorb excess oil and humidity, supporting a fresher-looking complexion through the day. Zinc stearate and polyethylene contribute to a smooth, even application that adheres well to make-up. Nylon-12 and synthetic fluorphlogopite provide a soft-focus effect that visually blurs the appearance of pores and fine lines. The formula is preserved with phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin to maintain product freshness.

The powder is finely milled with a soft, silky texture that picks up easily on a brush or puff and blends out quickly. It sets to a natural-looking, non-drying finish that helps reduce surface shine while allowing skin to look like skin. Comfortably lightweight, it is suitable for all-day wear when used to set foundation or for targeted touch-ups.

Use it to set your base, tone down unwanted shine or refresh make-up during the day. Apply sparingly, then build only where you want extra coverage to avoid product build-up. A light hand and good blending give the most seamless, polished result.

Finely milled powders help prevent caking while delivering smooth, even coverage.Oil-absorbing minerals and starches assist in controlling shine in key areas such as the T-zone.Soft-focus ingredients visually blur the look of pores and fine lines for a more refined finish.Flexible binding agents help powder adhere to make-up, supporting longer wear without a heavy feel.

• Step 1. Begin with skincare and base make-up applied and fully absorbed or set.
• Step 2. Swirl a clean powder brush or puff over the compact, then tap off any excess product.
• Step 3. Press or sweep lightly over areas prone to shine, such as the forehead, nose and chin.
• Step 4. Blend outwards with gentle circular or sweeping motions to avoid visible edges.
• Step 5. Build a light second layer only where extra coverage or shine control is needed.
• Step 6. Use for touch-ups during the day, focusing on the T-zone rather than the entire face to prevent build-up.

Pro Tips

• Apply a very light veil immediately after foundation, then allow it to settle before deciding if you need more.
• Use a small, fluffy brush for targeted application around the nose and between the brows for a more refined finish.
• For a softer look, press the powder in with a puff, then buff gently with a clean brush to remove any excess.
• Blot excess oil with a tissue before reapplying powder during the day to keep the finish smooth rather than heavy.
