FAQs
What is the main purpose of this setting powder?
Its main purpose is to set under-eye concealer and colour correctors, prevent creasing, and add a naturally radiant finish to the under-eye area, extending makeup wear.
How long does the makeup wear last with this powder?
Consumer studies indicate that it can extend the wear of concealer for up to 16 hours.
Can this powder be used on the entire face?
While it is specifically formulated for the delicate under-eye area, its finely milled texture might allow for light use on other areas of the face if a soft-matte, brightening finish is desired. However, its primary efficacy is targeted at under-eye concerns.
What is the finish of the powder?
The powder provides a smooth, soft-matte finish that remains seamless and undetectable, while also adding a naturally radiant effect.
Does this powder contain any shimmer?
The formula is infused with micronised pigments that provide a brightening finish, rather than containing visible shimmer particles.
How should I choose the right shade?
The product comes in various shades like 'Soft Pink', 'Peach', 'Translucent', and 'Golden'. 'Soft Pink' and 'Peach' are often used to counteract darkness, while 'Translucent' offers a neutral finish, and 'Golden' can add warmth. Consider your specific under-eye concerns and skin tone when selecting.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is described as weightless and undetectable. However, as with any cosmetic product, individuals with very sensitive skin should perform a patch test or consult with a dermatologist.
Troubleshooting
Powder looks cakey or heavy
Use a lighter hand with application. Try using a smaller, denser brush or a damp puff and pressing the powder into the skin rather than sweeping. Ensure the under-eye area is well-hydrated before applying concealer and powder.
Under-eye area still creases
Allow concealer to set for a minute before powdering. Use a small amount of powder and focus on pressing it into the lines where creasing occurs. Ensure the powder is finely milled and applied with a precise tool.
Lack of brightening effect
Ensure you are using the appropriate shade for your skin tone and desired effect. The brightening is subtle; for more significant correction, use a colour corrector underneath the concealer before setting.
Powder feels dry on the skin
This can occur if the skin is not properly prepped. Apply a hydrating eye cream and allow it to absorb fully before applying concealer and setting powder. Avoid using too much powder.
