Beauty experts, including the one and only patmcgrathreal, discuss the everlasting power of powder products.
In fact, powder has never really left the fashion world. “No backstage skin I’ve created since day one hasn’t involved powder,” the makeup guru tells me. Her new Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection the System includes primer, foundation, and something she calls “the anti-powder powder,” a lighter-than-air formulation in an impressive five shades, ranging from light bisque to deep mocha. With “an exquisite finish of eggshell smoothness,” McGrath says, it’s “powder you needn’t be afraid of.
Perhaps it was fear, after all, that put me off powder in the first place. A casual remark, overheard at some forgotten department-store makeup counter, cautioned that for women of a certain age, powder is a no-go. It is just too drying, and unkind to fine lines. But it can be a godsend for women of all ages looking for more control, according to pro-powder burlesque artist andwinner Violet Chachki. “A matte face doesn’t pick up the light,” she tells me.
Peter Philips has similarly precise ideas about application. “If I want a velvety, matte finish, I apply it with a big powder brush, and then I use a cotton puff to push it gently into the foundation,” the creative and image director at Dior Makeup says of backstage staples such as Dior’s Forever & Ever Control Loose Powder. “If I want to have a glowy or less matte effect, I use a silky puff.”
Encouraged by these experts, I feel ready to take some powder for a spin. Chantecaille’s Éclat Doux and Sisley-Paris’s Blur Expert pressed-powder compacts add a subtle soft focus to the sometimes harsh reality of my face. For fuller coverage, I turn to Poudre de Teint Précieuse, a tinted pressed powder from Valmont in a hue called Sandy Beige in Paris. The effect—though hardly the equivalent of a week’s stay in the City of Light—is best described as creamy.
With improved formulas and expanded shade ranges, face powder is more friend than foe to a flawless complexion.
