A transluscent setting powder that's melanin skin approved. It's got a warm depth to it that sets beautifully on darker skin tones. It's currently replaced my One/Size setting powder! 👀

The brand just dropped this scent last month and it's their first entrance into "gourmand" or scents that evoke foodie experiences. Citrus and vanilla notes pair with jasmine and lily for a delightful scent. (Also available in a solid perfume)

I don't know how they do it but this formula is lightweight and rich. It's not completely scent-free but is incredibly light and not cloying. Plus the pump applicator preserves sterility.
