2. Use the sponge side of the compact for fuller coverage; the velour side for a lighter or setting effect.

3. Apply starting from the centre of your face and blend outward toward hairline and jawline.

4. If using over a liquid foundation: allow the liquid to set first, then lightly dust this powder over to lock in finish and control shine.

5. For midday touch-ups, use the velour side to lightly press over oil-prone areas (T-zone).

6. Close the compact securely after use to protect the formula.
