HOW TO USE COMPACT POWDER?
+
−
Compact powder is applied to set makeup, mattify areas prone to shine and prolong the radiance of the complexion. Used sparingly, it helps even out the skin while preserving its natural luminosity.
888. Aïtutaki Compact Powder reinvents organic compact powder as a true skincare-infused makeup product. Its ultra-fine texture settles onto the skin in a lightweight veil to blur imperfections, visibly smooth skin texture and reveal a naturally matte finish without making the complexion look flat. Its formula combines plant-based pigments, hyaluronic acid, cosmetic probiotics and jojoba oil to help maintain skin hydration and comfort throughout the day.
Pick up the powder using the integrated puff or the 811. Dual-Fibre Powder Brush, then gently apply it all over the face or only to the T-zone. Start at the centre of the face and blend outwards, focusing on areas where you want to reduce shine.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOOSE POWDER AND COMPACT POWDER?
+
−
Both loose powder and compact powder set makeup, but they offer different finishes and uses. Loose powder creates a very lightweight veil and is particularly suited to generously setting makeup at home. Compact powder allows for more precise application, easy touch-ups and a slightly more velvety finish.
Le Rouge Français reinterprets natural compact powder through its colour-infused skincare approach. Its ultra-fine texture blends seamlessly with the skin without leaving a powdery finish. Its universal shade adapts to all skin tones.
Loose powder is ideal for those looking for an airy veil over the entire face. Compact powder, on the other hand, is perfect for everyday use thanks to its portable format and targeted application with the 811. Dual-Fibre Powder Brush or its powder puff.
