SurrealSkin® Soft Blur Setting Powder

MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin® Soft Blur Setting Powder is a talc-free loose powder made to lock makeup in for up to twelve hours while softening the look of pores and lines. It controls shine without flattening the skin — the finish stays natural rather than powdery.

What it actually does

• Sets your base for up to twelve hours. That is the brand's stated wear window for a pro-performance loose powder.
• Blurs lines and pores. Spherical light-diffusing powders plus a smoothing amino acid are the ingredients MAKEUP BY MARIO credits with that softening effect.
• Keeps shine down all day. Kaolin handles oil control, and the brand's point is that it does so without leaving skin looking or feeling parched.
• Nourishes rather than strips. Squalene is included for its known skin-nourishing reputation — unusual in a setting powder.
• Layers in thin veils. Mario built it to be applied in soft layers for his SoftSet™ look, with brightening and enhancing tones worked into the shades.
• Behaves in photographs. Listed as non-cakey and free of flashback, so flash photography does not turn your face into a white patch.

Brand-reported results

In a consumer panel of 30 participants run by MAKEUP BY MARIO, all participants agreed the powder made skin look smooth, all agreed it felt weightless through the day, and 96% agreed it instantly brightened the under-eye area. Self-reported panel results from the brand — not a clinical trial.

How to use

1. With a puff, for more hold. Fold the Master Pro Puff (sold separately), work powder into it, then press and roll it into the skin. Use the tapered corner under the eyes and in tight spots.
2. With a brush, for a lighter dust. The F2 brush (sold separately) sweeps powder across the whole face; the F3 (also separate) gives a softer, diffused set around the under-eyes.
3. Layer it. The formula is designed to go over creams as well as powders, which is central to how Mario builds a face.
4. Add colour on top. Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil or Soft Pop Blush Stick (each sold separately) are the brand's suggested next step over the powder.
5. Finish with a mist — Mario's SurrealSkin™ Soft Setting Spray (sold separately) is recommended for a lived-in natural set.

Questions

Which shade should I pick?

For a softly brightening effect the brand points to 1 Fair Pink, 3 Neutral Peach, 4 Warm Honey and 4.5 Medium Dark Honey. The shades carry enhancing and brightening tones, so pick by the effect you want as well as your depth. Message us if you want help narrowing it down.

Does it contain talc?

No. It is a talc-free loose powder, and the blurring comes instead from spherical light-diffusing powders and a smoothing amino acid.

Will it look cakey on dry skin?

MAKEUP BY MARIO specifically describes it as non-cakey and says the shine control does not come at the cost of skin looking or feeling dry. Squalene is in the formula for that reason.

Are the puff and brushes included?

No — the Master Pro Puff, F2 and F3 brushes named in the directions are each sold separately, as are the Soft Pop blush products and the setting spray.

Delivery and payment?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Pay by credit card, debit card, Instapay or mobile wallet; cash on delivery is not available.
