**SAFE BEAUTY INGREDIENT ALERT**
Like many safe and effective ingredients, silicones and its derivatives have been unfairly misrepresented as harmful to the skin. In truth, they pose no risk and do not contribute to skin irritation or congestion. Learn more about silicones in our Safe Beauty section.
**KEY INGREDIENTS**
**Trimethylsiloxysilicate** is a silicone that helps lock pigments in place and provides excellent water resistance in color cosmetics. A siloxane polymer that is insoluble in water, it delivers superior repellency and enhances a product’s moisture resistance for longer wear and improved durability.
**Mica** is a non-toxic, naturally occurring mineral that helps absorb sebum and oil without leaving visible buildup on the skin. The mica used in FACE atelier formulations is ethically sourced and certified Child Labour Free, ensuring both product safety and responsible production practices.

**HOW TO USE IT** 1. USE THE RIGHT TOOLS - A fluffy brush is ideal for an overall application, while a smaller brush can be used for precision, spot application. 2. PREP YOUR SKIN – Start with a clean, well-moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual, ensuring they are well-blended and any excess product is removed. 3. WHEN TO APPLY - To maximize the mattifying effect, apply the powder while the foundation is still slightly damp, ensuring it sets better and lasts longer. Avoid applying too much powder - it's far easier to build up coverage than to take it away. 4. PRESS, DON'T SWEEP - Lightly swirl the brush, tapping off any excess. Gently press or pat the powder into the skin to avoid disturbing your foundation while enhancing the powder’s ability to control oil and prevent shine breakthroughs. 5. APPLY ON KEY AREAS - Start in the T-zone or areas prone to shine to set foundation and concealer in place. 6. TARGET OILY AREAS – Spot reapply a thin layer of powder with a smaller brush to areas prone to oil buildup throughout the day. 7. BLEND AND BUFF - Blending the powder into the skin with small, circular motion buffs the skin, creating a a polished, refined finish. 8. TOUCH UP AS NEEDED - Strategically reapply a light layer throughout the day to mattify shine breakthroughs. **THE ULTIMATE LONG-LASTING MAKEUP HACK** 1. APPLY ULTRA MATTE - Finish your makeup with a very light layer of Ultra Matte. A little goes a long way to control shine 2. SET WITH ULTRA PRESSED POWDER - Gently but firmly press Ultra Pressed Powder onto the skin to lock in your base and smooth the finish. 3. SEAL WITH FACE FINISH - Mist Face Finish over the entire face to lock in your look and keep your makeup fresh all day and night long. LOOSE v PRESSED POWDER Pressed powder is denser and can offer more coverage, helping to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. When buffed into the skin, it can provide a more polished matte or satin finish. A loose powder is often preferred by makeup artists because it doesn’t add coverage. FAIR SKIN HACK Finding the right bronzer for lighter skin tones can be challenging, as many formulas are overly pigmented and can appear orange or harsh on fair skin. Lighter complexions need soft, sheer formulas that add subtle warmth without overpowering natural undertones. If you have fair to light skin, try using Light or Medium Ultra Pressed Powder for a natural, softly bronzed glow that enhances your complexion without looking heavy or artificial. **SAFE BEAUTY ALERT** Clean matters! Powder puffs aren’t fundamentally unsafe but they’re a magnet for dirt and bacteria, especially if they’re absorbent and difficult to clean. If and when you get around to it. Brushes, though also not cleaned as frequently as they should be, are less porous and therefore less likely to harbor bacteria. Both puffs and brushes should be washed regularly, and sharing them is never a good idea to maintain hygiene.
