The compact powder is helpful to set the foundation and mattify the skin. It unifies the skin texture and gives an impression of velvety.
It is, therefore, perfect for skin prone to imperfections or with an oily tendency.
More suitable for dry skin and more ideal for touch-ups, unlike loose powder, compact powder allows you to apply makeup and sculpt and correct throughout the day.

What are the Active ingredients in Compact Powder?
- Its main ingredient is talc, known for its covering properties.
- We refine it to be very fine and not to leave any traces on the skin!
- Oil or wax is added to it to obtain a compact appearance.
- Firstly, the compact powder also contains pigments and nacres.
- In particular, micas, these mineral pigments that reflect light and beautify the complexion.
- Secondly, it contains zinc, ideal for skin suffering from excess sebum but not recommended for dry skin.
- Finally, most compact powders are enriched with anti-UV filters, and sometimes with a moisturizer or anti-ageing.
How to Use a Compact Powder?
- We apply the compact powder after the corrector and foundation, but before blush, the bronzer, or the sun earth.
- It exists in a neutral version, but it is more common to find tinted versions.
- Therefore, it would help if you chose a powder in the same tones as your foundation or slightly lighter.
- We apply it with a broad brush all over the face. Insist on the T zone (forehead, nose, chin).
- It thus guarantees the excellent hold of the makeup and prevents the skin from shining.
- And also, you can slip it into your bag for small touch-ups during the day.
