How to choose
Powder sets your make-up, mattifies shine and keeps your complexion even for longer. Here you’ll find loose and pressed powders from Make Up For Ever, Mii Cosmetics and Paul & Joe, and a bronzing powder from Institut Esthederm.
How to choose:
- Loose powder, such as HD Skin Setting Powder, HD Skin Perfecting Loose Powder or Mii Illusionist Translucent Powder: airy with a fine finish, ideal for setting your whole base at home.
- Pressed powder, such as Ultra HD Pressed Powder, Mii Mineral Perfecting Pressed Powder or the Paul & Joe pressed powder: handy on the go and for touch-ups.
- Bronzing powder (Poudre Ensoleillante): for a warm, sun-kissed glow.
Both types work equally well, it’s a matter of preference. For a base that lasts all day, combine with a primer and a foundation.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Should you apply powder all over your face?
Not necessarily. For a natural, fresh look, only apply powder to your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), where you shine most.
How do you apply powder properly?
Loose powder with a large, soft powder brush, pressed powder with the sponge that comes with it. Work gently in circles and don’t use too much: too much powder makes skin look drier and older.
Can you use powder without foundation?
Yes. A light layer of translucent powder over your day cream or SPF already mattifies and evens out, without the weight of foundation.
