Setting Powder – simply indispensable for a flawless complexion
The fact is: an even complexion never goes out of style. The more harmonious the complexion, the more attractive the face is perceived. It's also a fact: studies show that it's not wrinkles that make us look older, but irregularities like redness, pigmentation, large pores, and small scars! An unbeatable argument for the ILGE Makeup Setting Powder, available in two shades: either as a transparent powder or in a tanned shade for tanned or darker skin types. With these two powders, UND GRETEL has created a product that doesn't just mattify the complexion or set makeup. It gives the skin the appearance of being blurred with Photoshop.
ILGE, like the names of all UND GRETEL products, comes from Middle High German and means the blossom of a lily. The ultra-fine particles of this "petal-like" makeup setting powder conjure shine from the T-zone, set foundation, and give your style a subtle finish. And that's not all: This setting powder has no additive properties. This means you can reapply it as often as you like. Throughout the day. Or at night. Re-applying is best done with the accompanying powder puff—which you can, of course, purchase separately. Once ILGE has been dabbed onto the face as needed, the Translucent Setting Powder in the shades CLEAR and TANNED blends instantly and naturally into the skin without weighing it down. Quite the opposite: It creates a silky-soft, airy, protective shield over the face.
What ILGE can do:
The UND GRETEL community has a clear favorite: They voted CLEAR's white Natural Look setting powder their best when you want to make that small, but crucial, difference. ILGE gives skin a finely defined appearance even without foundation underneath, by reducing shine in places you don't want it. The reflective powder particles of plant origin capture the light, refract it subtly, and thus conceal small wrinkles and imperfections. This makes every complexion appear softer, smoother, and always natural. Because both shades always adapt to the color underneath, every skin tone is catered for. The sheer properties are also a blessing for setting makeup with setting powder. After all, any colored powder can distort the desired look or even the entire skin tone.
The ILGE setting powder also has a positive effect when eyeshadow is part of the look. Especially in the crease of the eyelid and with the movement of the eye, an eyeshadow look can quickly disappear. To ensure that all the colors stay exactly where they should, a good setting powder has other strengths. It not only sets the look by dabbing the powder on top, you can also apply the transparent powder as a primer under eyeshadow. Or use it to thicken your lashes before applying mascara. Or to make your lip color last longer... However, there is one NO GO for "the best natural setting powder": It should never be applied over concealer under the eyes! That would only emphasize small wrinkles. The Gretels have put together these and even more tips on this and other superpower products in their blog.
How to achieve the perfect powder finish
The main purpose of using a setting powder is to make your makeup last all day and give your skin an even complexion. To apply it correctly and avoid an overly aged look, there are a few steps to follow:
- Preparing the skin: Before applying the setting powder, it's important to thoroughly cleanse the skin and apply a light moisturizer. For optimal results, use a primer to visually conceal pores and make the skin appear smoother.
- The best color: The natural cosmetic setting powder UND GRETEL is available in two translucent shades, both suitable for all skin tones. Its ultra-fine particles blend quickly into the skin, giving any makeup look a natural finish.
- Apply with a powder puff: This is the ideal tool for applying ILGE precisely. Depending on the glow trend, the T-zone is usually the target, as this is often the area prone to shine. The powder should not be applied directly under the eye.
- The right dosage: Less is more when it comes to ILGE. However, its natural cosmetic formula always ensures that makeup doesn't settle or appear too dry. Since it doesn't have a cumulative effect, you can easily powder your nose with ILGE.
