Coverage, finish, and wear

The powder starts sheer and builds to fuller coverage as you blend, giving you control over the final look. It’s formulated to stay matte on oily or combination skin and to feel breathable, not heavy, throughout the day. With regular wear, you may notice a more balanced appearance as the product settles into your routine.

How to use: Swirl, Tap, Buff

1. Swirl a small amount in the cap until it blends into the brush for pickup.
2. Tap away any excess to avoid excess product on the skin.
3. Buff onto the skin in circular motions to build coverage until you reach your desired level.

For best results, use with the Beautiful Finish Brush, which is designed to deposit the right amount of minerals and fit perfectly into the cap for convenient blending.
