How do you use this? Why do I need it?
Our silky, ultra-refined powder blurs, perfects, and sets makeup for long-lasting wear without adding weight or texture to the skin! It also absorbs oil + shine to reveal a matte, airbrushed finish that is perfect for all skin tones without any flashback. Simply dip the Filtered Effects All-Over Face Brush into the mesh sifter then tap off excess powder in the separator. Next, set your foundation by tapping powder onto your face and buffing powder in with circular motions!
Can this be used alone?
The Filtered Effects Soft Focus HD Setting Powder was created to be used on top of your Buildable Blur CC Cream to help set your makeup, ensuring that it stays in place beautifully all day. However, if you'd like to use it alone you definitely can! If using alone, please note that it will not provide coverage or hide imperfections and instead help to absorb excess oil throughout the day.
If I already have the Filtered Effects Pressed Powder, do I still need the Setting Powder?
Yes! The Filtered Effects HD Setting Powder is a finely milled, loose powder that gives controlled application, blurs imperfections, and reduces shine. The Filtered Effects Pressed Setting Powder, on the other hand, comes in 4 inclusive shades that are easy on the go, blur imperfections, and provide a veil of extra coverage. It’s perfect to take with you to touch up your makeup throughout the day!
Can you use a Pressed Powder before applying this Setting Powder? Is it recommended to use a Pressed Powder before applying this as a finishing step?
Our Filtered Effects™ Soft Focus HD Setting Powder blurs, perfects, and sets makeup for long-lasting wear without adding weight or texture to the skin! It also absorbs oil + shine to reveal a matte, airbrushed finish. We do not recommend pairing the setting powder with another face powder, as this may accentuate fine lines and cause dry skin and patchy makeup. We recommend using a face primer with the setting powder if you're looking for more protection against excess oil + shine
I have dry skin. How should I apply this so it does not accentuate my dryness?
For a drier skin type, we would recommend applying the Filtered Effects Setting Powder with a large fluffy brush, like the Filtered Effects All-Over Face Brush for a light dusting of powder whenever the skin needs to be set! This will ensure that your makeup stays in place all day while making sure that any dryness is not accentuated. You can also use the Diffusing Dome Blush Brush for a more precise or detailed powder setting. It's also packed with skin-loving ingredients, such as vitamin C, cucumber, and sodium hyaluronate to help keep your skin nourished and hydrated throughout the day!
Will this work for older/mature skin without drying out my skin or making me look older?
Yes! The Filtered Effects Soft Focus HD Setting Powder was created with all skin types and ages in mind. This powder is powered by our Blur Effect Technology which softens the look of pores and lines. It's also packed with skin-loving ingredients, such as vitamin C, cucumber, and sodium hyaluronate to help keep your skin nourished and hydrated throughout the day!
Does it come in more shades?
The Filtered Effects Soft Focus HD Setting Powder is a universal shade that blends beautifully into all skin tones without leaving behind a white cast!
