How to Use

1. After applying foundation and concealer, let your base set for a moment.

2. Use the Velour Puff (or a powder brush) to pick up the powder: fold the puff in half, rub the halves together to work in the powder, then tap off the excess.  

3. Press the puff (or brush) onto the skin using a rolling motion — especially on areas prone to shine (T-zone, under eyes, around nose).  

4. For extra oil-control or “baking”, apply a little more powder, let it sit for 30 seconds, then dust off the excess.

5. For a long-wear lipstick: place a tissue over the lips, press the puff with powder through the tissue – helps lock in your lip colour.

FAQs

Q: Is this powder suitable for dry skin?

A: Yes – although it’s optimized for normal to oily skin (especially for shine control), the ultra-fine texture and breathable finish make it acceptable for dry or combination skin. For very dry skin, you may wish to use sparingly or pair with a hydrating primer.  

Q: Will this create a flash-back (white cast) in flash photography?

A: No – the formula is truly translucent and designed to leave no photo flash-back.  

Q: Does this set the foundation only, or can it be used for “baking”?

A: Both. It sets foundation and concealer for all-day wear, and can also be used for “baking” (applying a heavier layer, letting it sit, then dusting off) especially in areas prone to creasing or shine.  

Q: How do I choose the right shade?

A: Select a shade based on your skin tone and undertone:

• Fair to medium = Translucent

• Medium with olive/golden undertones = Translucent Honey

• Medium-deep to deep tones = Translucent Medium Deep

• Light to medium tones wanting a brightened effect = Tone-Up
