The Power of Powder: the must-have for longwear makeup

Powder is the essential final step for long-wear makeup. It mattifies oily skin and locks your look in place. For a natural matte finish, focus on your base, tools, and application. Think of powder as the finishing touch—once applied, it's hard to adjust anything underneath without removal

The next-gen powder  

The No Compromise Powder is a pressed, long-wear powder with medium to full matte coverage. This next generation pressed powder provides a medium to high coverage and a soft matte finish with a cream-soft texture.

It’s longwearing, transfer-resistant and leaves a soft-focus and blurring effect, to keep control of any oily or shiny areas of the face. Due to innovative technology in the formulation, the powder makes your skin feel soft and moisturized, so you can keep that matte look all day, while keeping your skin feeling fresh and comfortably matte. 

Frequently asked questions about powder 

Does powder clog pores? 

No, most powders today are formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog pores. However, it’s important to choose powders labeled as such and to properly cleanse your skin at the end of the day to avoid buildup. 

Should I put powder all over my face? 

You don't need to apply powder everywhere. Focus on areas that tend to get oily, such as the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Applying it sparingly to these areas helps control shine while keeping other areas looking natural and fresh. 

When should I powder my face? 

You can powder your face after applying foundation and concealer to set the makeup. Throughout the day, you can use powder for touch-ups to control oil and shine, especially in hot or humid conditions. 

Is powder bad for acne? 

No, powder is not inherently bad for acne. In fact, many powders are specifically designed for acne-prone skin, helping to absorb excess oil and reduce shine without aggravating the skin. Look for non-comedogenic and oil-free options to avoid irritation. 

Is powder good for an oily face? 

Yes, powder is great for oily skin as it helps to absorb excess oil and control shine. Using a mattifying or oil-control powder can keep your skin looking fresh throughout the day without appearing greasy.
