Product Information

Full details

This all-in-one powder is designed for anyone seeking a flawless, smooth complexion and extended makeup wear. Its key benefit is achieving a refined skin texture, reduced shine, and a natural, radiant finish without creasing or settling into lines. A potential caveat is that the luminising shade might be too subtle for those desiring a very bold highlight. This multipurpose powder combines the benefits of loose powder in a convenient compact, offering a hydrating, micron-sized formula that evens skin tone, blurs imperfections, and combats oiliness, all while protecting the skin.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this powder be used on dry skin?

Yes, the formula is hydrating and micron-sized, making it suitable for dry skin. Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application to prevent any dryness from being accentuated.

What is the finish of the powder?

The refining powder has a natural, soft-focus finish that blurs imperfections and reduces shine without being fully matte. The luminising powder adds a subtle, glitter-free pearl radiance.

How do I prevent the powder from settling into fine lines?

Apply a minimal amount of product, especially around areas prone to lines like the eyes and mouth. Use a light touch with your applicator and consider pressing the powder in gently rather than swiping.

Is the luminising powder suitable for all skin tones?

The luminising powder provides a warm, flattering pearl finish. While designed to be universally flattering, individuals with very deep skin tones may find the effect more subtle.

Can I use this powder if I have sensitive skin?

The product is described as Paraben Free and Cruelty Free. It is generally well-tolerated, but as with any new cosmetic, it's advisable to perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities.

How does this powder differ from a regular translucent powder?

This is an all-in-one product that not only sets makeup and controls shine like a translucent powder but also contains a separate luminising shade for added radiance and skincare benefits like D'Orientine and Gatuline.

What does 'jet-milled, micron-sized' mean for the formula?

This refers to the extremely fine texture of the powder particles. It allows the powder to blend seamlessly into the skin, feel weightless, and avoid settling into fine lines or looking cakey.

Troubleshooting

Powder appears cakey on skin

Ensure skin is well-moisturized before application. Use a lighter hand with the brush or puff, applying less product. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge for a sheerer finish.

Luminising powder is not visible

Apply the luminising powder with a denser brush for more concentrated pigment. Try applying it as a final step over other makeup for better adherence and visibility.

Product creases under the eyes

Apply a very small amount of powder specifically to the under-eye area. Consider using a finely milled, dedicated under-eye powder if creasing persists. Ensure concealer is fully set before powder application.

Shine control is insufficient

Apply a slightly thicker layer of the refining powder to areas prone to oiliness. Consider using blotting papers throughout the day if oiliness returns quickly.
