CATRICE Poudre Soft Blur Matte Setting 030 Medium, 8 g

CATRICE Soft Blur Matte Setting Powder 030 Medium 8 g: no flashback

This loose powder sets make-up and mattifies for the long haul, with a soft-blur effect that visually smooths the skin's texture. Shade 030 Medium is calibrated for mid-tone complexions, the ones that often turn grey under a powder that is too pale.

Its real argument lies elsewhere: it produces no flashback. That ghostly white cast that ruins flash photographs comes from the mineral filters present in many powders, and this ultra-light, breathable formula does without them.

Key points

• Loose setting powder with a matte finish
• Soft-blur effect that smooths skin texture
• No flashback in flash photography
• Ultra-light, breathable formula
• Suitable for baking, shade 030 Medium, 8 g

Built on corn and tapioca starch rather than pure talc, which explains the lightness. A useful point if you often do your make-up for occasions that get photographed.
