Soft Focus – Mattifying Powder with Amorphous Silica
Lightweight finishing powder for a matte, velvety-looking complexion
Soft Focus is a simple mineral-botanical finishing powder for use over makeup or directly on areas that tend to become shiny.
Amorphous silica absorbs excess surface oil and gives the skin a dry, smooth and velvety feel. Cosmetic starch improves slip and helps the powder spread evenly across the skin.
The powder appears white in the container but blends into the complexion when applied in a very thin layer. For the most natural finish, begin with a small amount and build only where needed.
Ingredients for 100 g
- 85 g cosmetic cornstarch
- 15 g silica powder
Total: 100 g
For a subtle soft-focus glow, replace 3–5 g of the starch with a suitable cosmetic mica.
Method
- Clean all tools and packaging and allow them to dry completely.
- Weigh the cosmetic starch and silica accurately.
- Sift the powders through a fine sieve.
- Mix gently until completely uniform and free of lumps.
- Avoid creating airborne powder and do not inhale the fine particles.
- Transfer into a clean, completely dry powder container with a sifter or lid.
Use
Tap a small amount into the lid and pick it up with a soft powder brush.
Remove excess product and apply a very thin layer, focusing on the T-zone and other areas prone to shine.
Use alone or as the final step to set makeup.
