A:  Mattification is a term used to describe the process of giving skin a shine-free finish - hence the name of our product line "Mattify!"  You may see many brands of foundation and mineral makeup that say "matte" finish on the packaging.  This means that the makeup will not leave you with a shiny or dewy complexion, but rather, with a clean & fresh shine-free finish.  For people with oily skin, it is often very difficult to find matte makeup for oily skin specifically targeted toward that skin type.  Most liquid foundations are geared toward either dry or combination skin. With our line of Mattify! Loose Powder, you can achieve a clean, shine-free look, even if you wear liquid foundation.

 

 

 

A:  You will find many mineral veils & powders designed to wear under and over foundation ~ but most will include micronized pearl particles, bismuth and mica. These ingredients really don't do anybody's complexion a favor!  They add a sheen to your over-all complexion, giving you the look of excess oil.  These are especially awful ingredients for people with oily skin - the last thing they need is a product to make skin look greasy! Bismuth is a notorious ingredient in makeup that can cause the skin to itch, while also making it look shiny. Those with VERY dry skin can get away with wearing a pearlized mineral veil, but most of us want to avoid the look of excess shine. Mattify! Loose Powder does not contain any "shiny" ingredients, and will provide you with a clean oil-free finish. 

 

Also, Mattify Powder is better for your skin than most mineral veils. The pearl particles in many popular mineral formulas can clog and stretch pores, allowing bacteria inside to cause blemishes. The ingredients in Mattify Powder are extremely gentle and finely milled, as to not cause pore expansion.  Mattify! Loose Powder is designed to soak up dirt and oil from your pores, leaving your skin clean and healthy.  

 

 

Yes.  Mattify! Powder can be worn under and/or over ANY type of liquid, powder mineral, stick, or mousse foundation.  It will protect your skin from irritation from the ingredients in the foundations, and make pores much less apt to clog.  When used as a primer, the Mattify! Powder will allow foundation to adhere to it, giving you a beautiful finish all day long.

 

 

 

A:  No. This formula is completely translucent, allowing your natural skin color to show through. The more you "buff" it into your skin, the more translucent it becomes.  If your skin tone is deep tan or deep black, simply rotate the powder brush in circles on every section of your face to blend completely.  Mattify! for Sensitive Skin works best when applied with a powder brush and may require a bit more blending than Mattify! Ultra or Mattify! Original.  Simply buff in circles until the product is invisible. This powder is even invisible if spilled onto dark clothing. If this occurs, just dust away quickly using back and forth motions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A:  Yes. As long as you apply moisturizer first, Mattify! Powder can be used either under or over foundation, (but not both) on dry skin.   Allow your moisturizer and/or foundation to dry for about 1 minute, then dust on a light coating of Mattify! Powder.  Those with dry skin can still benefit from its pore-minimizing properties, and its abilities to act as a primer so foundation stays put all day long. However, if your skin is so dry that it is flaky, Mattify Powder should NOT be used.  It will not harm dry skin, but the powder tends to cling to dry spots and accentuate them. 

 

 

 

A:  Yes!  Although our Eye Shadows contain the original Mattify Powder mixture, they are designed for long lasting wear on ANY skin type and do not accentuate dry areas.  

 

 

 

A:  The Kaolin clay in the product soaks up 3x its weight in oil.  Therefore, by dusting the formula on before foundation, it will absorb the majority of oil your face produces throughout the day. Our ULTRA formula also contains Silica Spheres for double the oil absorption. When Mattify! is also applied over foundation, it will soak up even more oil for a longer lasting finish.  When you wash your face at the end of the day, the excess oil will be rinsed away and not remain to clog your pores.

 

 

 

A:  Yes. The Kaolin Clay and Cornstarch are so mild that you could actually eat them - so never worry about applying them to your face!  However, everyone' s skin is different, so if you do happen to experience an allergy to any of our products, just let us know and we will arrange a return.  We've developed Mattify! for Sensitive Skin especially for those with allergies to food based ingredients. The Sensitive Skin formula does not contain Cornstarch or Rice Powder, and is safe for those who experience food allertgies. We pride ourselves on being a bismuth-free makeup company; as that is a common irritant in most mineral powder.

 

 

 

A:  No.  Quite the opposite in fact! The Kaolin Clay actually absorbs impurities and oil from your pores as you wear the products.  Upon cleansing your face to remove your makeup, all impurities and oils will be washed from your pores.  By wearing Mattify! products, you are actually cleansing your skin all day long, without doing anything!

 

 

 

 

 

A:  Of course not! We love our furry friends! Our only guinea pigs are voluntary employees and product testers, who use the product daily for a minimum of 4 months before the products are released to the public.
