Product Information
Full details
Fontana Contarini The Loose Powder Matte in Shade 3 is designed for individuals seeking a natural, long-lasting makeup finish that minimizes the appearance of pores. This ultra-light, velvety powder excels at locking in foundation without stripping the skin of moisture or creating a heavy, cakey appearance. While it is perfect for achieving a refined, matte complexion, users should note that as a loose powder, it requires careful handling during application to avoid excess dust dispersion.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this powder suitable for dry skin?
Yes, its non-drying formula is designed to provide a matte finish without stripping the skin of natural moisture.
Can I use this powder without foundation?
Absolutely. It can be applied over moisturizer or sunscreen to reduce shine and blur pores for a natural, clean look.
Does Shade 3 leave a white cast?
The formula is designed to be translucent and natural-looking on the skin; however, ensure you blend well to avoid any visible residue.
Should I use a brush or a sponge?
A fluffy brush provides a light, diffused finish, while a makeup sponge is better for pressing the powder into the skin for maximum setting power.
How often should I reapply?
Due to its long-lasting fixation, most users find that a single morning application is sufficient, though you can touch up the T-zone as needed.
Troubleshooting
Powder looks cakey on the skin
You are likely using too much product; tap excess off your brush thoroughly before application.
Difficult to dispense from the jar
Ensure the sifter holes are not clogged and gently tap the bottom of the jar on a flat surface to loosen the powder.
Product is creating a mess during application
Pour a very small amount into the lid and pick up product from the lid rather than directly from the jar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, store the jar upright in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping of the fine particles. When opening the container, do so slowly to avoid the loose powder particles drifting into the air. This powder is compatible with most silicone-based and water-based foundations. For cleaning, ensure your application brushes are washed regularly to prevent oil buildup from transferring back into the loose powder container. If you are traveling, consider taping the sifter holes or using a small cotton pad inside the jar to keep the powder in place while in transit.
