About this product
Make Keep Powder EX is KOSE's go-to finishing powder for makeup that simply will not budge. Designed to be water-resistant, oil-resistant and rub-resistant, this featherlight setting powder locks your base in place and blurs pores for a natural semi-matte finish that lasts all day. It is ideal for the Philippines' hot, humid climate, where sweat, midday shine and oil-driven makeup breakdown are constant battles. Infused with soothing Cica and moisturizing Squalane, it keeps skin comfortable while controlling shine. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, mineral-oil-free and allergy-tested, it suits oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin at an everyday-friendly price.
How to use
- Before first use, peel off the seal on the inner lid and place the puff back on top.
- Finish your base makeup (foundation, concealer or BB cream) as usual.
- Lightly tap the puff into the powder, then dab off any excess on the back of your hand.
- Press and roll the puff gently over your face in small circular motions, focusing on the T-zone, forehead and around the nose where shine appears first.
- Carry it with you and re-press onto oily or shiny areas through the day to refresh your finish — no need to remove makeup first.
Ingredients
- Silica — oil-absorbing powder base that soaks up excess sebum and sweat to lock in a long-lasting matte finish
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer — soft-focus blurring powder that diffuses light to visually smooth pores and unevenness
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer — fine spherical powder that glides on weightlessly for a silky, second-skin feel
- (HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone) Crosspolymer — flexible film-former that grips makeup so it resists rubbing, smudging and creasing
- Centella Asiatica (Cica) Leaf Extract — soothing botanical that helps calm skin prone to acne and sensitivity
- Squalane — lightweight moisturizer that conditions skin so the powder never looks dry or cakey
- Dimethiconol — smoothing conditioning agent that helps the powder lay down evenly and stay put
- Mica — natural mineral that gives a soft, semi-matte glow without a heavy or chalky white cast
FAQ
Will it really stop my makeup from melting in the Philippine heat?
Yes — its water-, oil- and rub-resistant powder grips your base to fight sweat-driven shine and makeup breakdown all day.
Is it okay for oily and acne-prone skin?
Yes — it absorbs excess sebum, is formulated to be less likely to clog pores, and contains soothing Cica, so it suits oily and acne-prone skin.
Does it leave a heavy white cast like some setting powders?
No — the EX formula is designed to reduce white cast, giving a natural semi-matte finish rather than a chalky, powdery look.
Can I reapply it during the day over makeup?
Absolutely — just press the puff onto shiny areas like the T-zone to refresh, no need to wipe off your makeup first.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
For BPO workers pulling evening shifts, teachers facing parent meetings, and Filipinas heading straight from the office to a dinner at a BGC or Ortigas restaurant, an 8-to-12-hour makeup hold without midday touch-up opportunities is the real test a setting powder must pass.
KOSE Make Keep Powder EX is a transparent finishing powder engineered to actively prevent makeup breakdown — not just set it — using enhanced sebum-absorbing particles in its EX upgrade formula that manage the excess oil production that tropical heat and stress accelerate, extending makeup wearability without creating a flat, matte mask appearance.
