So, why would you need a finishing powder if Mineral Makeup is the holy grail of foundations?

Great question, right? Honestly, there is no perfect solution to our beatuy needs. If there were, there would not be millions of products on the market!

Every person has different skin. From the texture to the moisture content, your skin is very different than mine and what works for you may not work as well for me. It may not even work at all.

However, that said, mineral makeup in general works for a lot of people. More than traditional liquid foundations do quite possibly, but foundation alone is not enough for some people.

Using a mineral viel or finishing powder can get rid of the last little bits of unevenness, help reduce shine and oiliness and it will give the ” I’m done - ain’t I the bomb? ” look.

We call ours Diffusion because that is what the product does. It diffuses all the fine lines and wrinkles and appearance of large pores. It gives the final wash of soft light and makes the skin look almost ethereal and well - just plain pretty.

So, how do you use Diffusion?

If you want oil control because you are really oily, or you live in a really humid climate, you can apply it before your foundation and again after your foundation.

If you aren’t too worried about oil, then after you have applied your foundation and even after blush or Red Clay, a soft dusting of Diffusion will give you the soft focus, angelic look.

Mature Skin? It’s ok, it won’t dry you out or make you look chalky, but you should be using a moisturizer regardless of oily skin or not. Moisture and oil are two different things!
