WHY YOU NEED IT

A multi-functional translucent powder that primes, perfects, and sets, instantly mattifying and blurring for a soft-focus finish.

WHY I LOVE IT

As a makeup artist I can say with confidence that almost everyone should use powder. Not a lot, but for sure in key places: center of the forehead, sides of the nostrils, and on the chin. Lots of powders can be heavy and make the skin look flat and matte, but the beauty of this product is that while it takes down shine, it doesn't take the life from the skin. There's a soft, gentle blurring effect that just makes your skin look better.

One of the things I love the most about Aleph as a brand is that their products are loaded with plant bio-actives so they work to improve your skin while you're using them. For example, this formulation helps regulate oil production, refine pore size and supports a clearer, more balanced complexion with continued use. Not a lot of makeup can say that, and back it up, so thank you Aleph.

PRO TIP

Use the powder as an oil absorbing base for Concealer/Foundation for those who need extra longevity or prefer an ultra matte foundation.
To prime the eyes, apply Prep/Finish powder across the eye lids prior to eye makeup application.
For extra long wear lips and a sharp lip line, dust over the lips prior to applying Cheek/Lip tint with fluffy brush.
Create an invisible second skin and set makeup by powdering all over the face.
