Mattifying powder: the secret to a shine-free complexion
At Oh My Cream, we're convinced that a perfect complexion also means controlling shine. This is where mattifying powder comes into its own. Fine and effective, it sets make-up without leaving a matte effect and ensures controlled hold from morning to night. For an even more harmonious result, it can replace a mineral powder works perfectly with liquid foundationa powder foundationeach providing adjustable coverage and a natural finish, while evening out the complexion and blurring imperfections.
Why use a mattifying powder?
A true ally of controlled complexions, mattifying powder is ideal for controlling shine while preserving the freshness of make-up. By absorbing excess sebum, it limits unwanted areas of light, even in hot weather or under intense lighting.
Its light texture deposits an imperceptible veil that blurs pores, smoothes skin texture and sets make-up for the day. The result: a clean, even, velvety complexion with no overloading effect.
Sebum absorption for an even complexion
To maintain an even complexion throughout the day, sebum absorption is essential. While the skin naturally produces sebum to protect itself, excess sebum can quickly create unwanted areas of shine. A simple touch of mattifying powder is all it takes to restore a matte, velvety finish with a peach-skin effect that's always luminous.
This quick and easy gesture becomes an easy reflex to adopt: between two appointments, before an evening out or at the end of the day. Compact or loose, powder can be applied discreetly for a simple, effective and always elegant touch-up.
The essential characteristics of a good mattifying powder
Here are the key points to look out for when choosing your mattifying powder:
Light texture: A good powder should be imperceptible to the touch, yet effective. An airy texture ensures skin comfort without clogging pores.
Compatibility with your skin type: It's crucial that mattifying powder can be used with your skin type, whether dry, oily or combination.
Universal shade: Some of our powders are available in a translucent version, to suit different skin tones without affecting the colour the foundation.
Absorbency: The ability to effectively absorb sebum ensures long-lasting matte skin.
Loose or pressed powder: which to choose?
Loose or pressed powder? The choice depends above all on your habits. Loose powders are light and airy, setting make-up in a transparent way. Their fine texture is ideal for those who like a natural look.
Compact powders, on the other hand, are perfect for express touch-ups. Their practical format and greater coverage make it possible to quickly correct small imperfections.
How to apply your mattifying powder effectively?
Good application starts with clean, well-moisturized skin, to avoid a grainy effect. After your foundation, take a small amount of powder with a wide brush. Remove any excess, then apply in circular movements, concentrating on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). This simple method ensures even distribution and a matte finish without overloading.
The "long-lasting make-up" ritual
To maximize your makeup's all-day hold, incorporate mattifying powder into your daily routine. After applying your foundation and concealer, lightly set with your favorite powder. The idea is to seal in make-up without weighing down the complexion, allowing it to last longer and your complexion to remain consistent.
In the hectic moments of the day when stress or heat can accentuate shine, always carry a compact powder with you for express touch-ups. A quick check during your lunch break can work wonders!
