A hybrid that solves the usual trade-off: it goes on like a cream and sets like a powder. That means you get the easy, even, hydrating application of a cream foundation with the lightweight satin-matte finish of a powder — from one compact, with no second product needed. Coverage builds from medium to full depending on your tool: the supplied sponge gives the fullest result, a brush a more diffused finish, and fingers the sheerest. Jojoba esters are the reason it doesn't go chalky; they help replenish dehydrated and dry skin so the formula stays velvety across the day rather than settling into fine lines. Fair suits the lightest complexions. At five grams in a slim compact, it's genuinely handbag-sized, which makes it as useful for touch-ups as it is for the initial application.
