Are you feeling inspired? Mel Barrese, Illamasqua head makeup artist, is a big fan of our Skin Based Pressed Powder and shares her top tip for a fearless complexion. 

I like to apply after foundation and concealer to help set the look, increase long wear and to keep shine at bay. Skin Base Pressed Powder is also great for touch-ups, helping to minimise the appearance of shine without overloading the face with the product or changing the skin look.”

Pablo Rodriguez, Illamasqua’s director of artistry, loves these products for their lightweight layering and perfected finish. 

“I love these powders because they are mattifying but sheer coverage, so they keep makeup in place and control shine, but they don’t build up when doing touch ups. Also, because they are quite transparent, the shades adjust easily and give great results with very little effort.”
