The finishing step that makes everything before it last. This finely milled loose powder settles almost invisibly over foundation, softly diminishing shine and locking base makeup in place with nothing more than a light dusting. Supremely velvety is the right description — it's not the chalky, heavy powder that ages a face or sits in fine lines, but a fine luxurious veil that leaves skin looking smooth rather than flat. Translucent means it works across skin tones without adding colour or altering the shade of your foundation underneath, so one pot suits everyone in the house. Use a large fluffy brush for an all-over set, or a smaller one to target the T-zone where shine appears first. Tap off the excess before it touches your face — a little goes a remarkably long way.
