To achieve the Flawless Face, saturate the Velour Puff with Translucent Loose Setting Powder, working powder into puff by folding and rubbing the halves together. Tap off excess. Press puff onto skin using a rolling motion to set makeup. 

Pro Tips:

•Double set areas that are more prone to shine and use a firmer pressure when pressing and rolling the puff.

•Spot set difficult-to-reach areas, like around nostrils, with a small flat tapered brush like Camouflage Powder Brush.

“To make any lipstick long-wearing and transfer-resistant, try placing tissue over your lips and with Velour Puff press and roll powder into the tissue. Translucent Loose Setting Powder will absorb the excess moisture of the lipstick and keep it in place.” – Tayaba

    One of the best powders!

    There’s a reason why this setting powder has been around so long. It genuinely is so good and such a reliable powder. I use this all over my face and I have combo skin. It always looks beautiful!

    Flawless Finish Unlocked ✨💨

    This is hands down one of the best setting powders I’ve ever used! It leaves my skin with a soft, airbrushed finish that looks natural—not cakey or dry. It sets my makeup all day without creasing, and it works beautifully under the eyes too.

    I also love that it's lightweight and doesn’t alter the tone of my foundation. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts a long time. Definitely a staple in my makeup routine. Highly recommend for all skin types!
