The Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder excels in creating a seamless, perfected complexion. Its ultra-refined, weightless texture means it never feels heavy or looks cakey, even with multiple layers. The true magic lies in its ability to blur imperfections; fine lines around the eyes or enlarged pores on the T-zone seem to soften and recede, giving an 'airbrushed' look in person and in photos.
Setting Makeup: After applying your liquid or cream foundation and concealer, lightly dip a fluffy powder brush into the sifter. Tap off any excess. Gently press and roll the brush onto areas you want to set, typically the T-zone, undereyes, and chin. This locks in your makeup, preventing transfer and extending its longevity throughout the day.
Baking Undereye Concealer: For a creaseless undereye, apply your concealer as usual. Then, using a damp beauty sponge or a dense brush, pick up a generous amount of powder from the sifter. Press the powder firmly under your eyes, leaving it to 'bake' for 5-10 minutes. This process allows the powder to fully absorb moisture and set the concealer. After baking, gently dust away the excess powder with a clean, fluffy brush.
Oil Control & Touch-Ups: The light-reflecting particles also help to subtly diffuse shine without appearing flat. For midday touch-ups, gently blot any excess oil with a tissue, then lightly dust a small amount of powder over shiny areas to refresh your look. The travel size makes this convenient for your purse.
Invisible Finish: Despite its powerful effects, the powder remains truly translucent. It won't alter the color of your foundation or concealer and is virtually undetectable on the skin, making it a reliable choice for all skin tones from very fair to deep.
Remove Seal: Upon first use, gently peel off the clear protective sticker or plastic seal covering the innovative 'H' sifter. Be careful not to dislodge the sifter itself.
Dispensing Product: Turn the closed jar upside down and tap it gently a few times to encourage powder to collect in the 'H' sifter. Then, turn it right side up and open the cap. The collected powder is now ready for use.
Skin Tones: The translucent formula is designed to be universally compatible with all skin tones, providing an invisible finish.
Makeup Products: It works seamlessly with most liquid, cream, and stick foundations and concealers.
Skin Types: Its talc-free, finely-milled nature makes it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and mature skin, as it minimizes dryness and creasing.
Storage: Always ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent spills and keep the powder fresh and protected from humidity.
Cleaning Sifter: If powder residue builds up on the sifter, gently tap the container or use a clean, dry brush to clear the openings. Avoid using water inside the powder jar.
Travel: Given its travel-size nature, it's designed to be portable. Keep it upright in your bag when possible to minimize powder shifting within the sifter compartment.
