As someone with a thing for dewy, glassy skin, I don’t love powders. There are exceptions to the rule<\/a>, obviously (Hourglass<\/a> and Fenty Beauty<\/a> are very<\/em> good) but on the whole I’m not a fan. The issue for me is that it’s hard to get it right. I’m not a makeup artist and the line between soft matte and chalky is very fine indeed. But sometimes my skin looks more damp than dewy and a little mattifying is necessary. See my dilemma?<\/p>\n

Rae Morris<\/a> is an esteemed makeup artist who obviously gets this. She’s well-known for her incredible brushes (trust me when I say they are the best you’ll ever use) but she also has a singular makeup product – an Invisible Mattifier<\/a>. It’s not a powder exactly, more like a soft gel with a powdery finish (or a pressed powder with a gel-like finish, depending on how you want to look at it). The product itself is made of an extremely high grade silicone resin that’s so finely milled it won’t settle in fine lines. It also contains PCA, a humectant that will hold moisture and keep the skin feeling soft.<\/p>\n

The first time I tried it was with Rae herself – she gently swept it across my forehead and between my brows to set makeup and quell shine. I was watching in the mirror and couldn’t believe the visible difference. My skin went from greasy-ish to soft and velvety. And it felt weightless. As if my skin was bare. Rae also used a small brush so the application was targeted; the rest of my face was still dewy and radiant. I was floored.<\/p>\n
