About this product
KATE Face Powder Z Semi-Matte is a loose setting powder designed to blur the look of pores and lock down makeup for hours. Its silica-based, oil-absorbing formula keeps shine in check while a soft blend of mica and talc leaves skin looking like fine porcelain — smooth and even, with a semi-matte rather than flat chalky finish. It comes with a plush puff for effortless, no-technique application.
How to use
- Peel back the inner seal and gently press the puff into the powder until lightly loaded.
- Tap off excess, then dab onto the back of your hand to distribute evenly.
- Press the puff onto skin starting from the T-zone and cheeks, working outward.
- Reapply lightly over the day to control shine without disturbing makeup underneath.
Ingredients
- Talc — A mineral powder base that gives silky, smooth glide and a soft-blur effect.
- Silica — Absorbs excess oil and softens the look of pores for a mattified finish.
- Mica — Adds subtle light diffusion for a soft-focus, porcelain-like glow.
- Dimethicone — A silicone that helps the powder adhere smoothly and resist smudging.
- Titanium Dioxide / Iron Oxides — Mineral pigments that gently adjust skin tone and add light coverage.
FAQ
Will this look too matte or cakey?
No — it's designed as a semi-matte finish, not a flat matte, so skin still looks soft rather than powdery.
Can I use it to touch up over foundation during the day?
Yes, a light re-press with the puff over oily areas works well for midday touch-ups.
Is it good for oily, humid climates?
The oil-absorbing silica makes it a solid pick for keeping shine down in hot, humid weather.
