“I’m anti-powder,” says Rose-Marie Swift, celebrity makeup artist and founder of RMS Beauty. “Generally speaking, the older you get, the worse powder looks. People usually don’t notice how their skin looks with powder all over it—it’s hard to look at yourself objectively, especially when it comes to makeup.”1 That’s why she created UnPowder: “a Japanese silica powder that is not synthetic silica and absorbs oil without leaving a powdery deposit and build-up on the skin.”2 Described as a loose finishing powder, it sounds like the perfect solution for extending your makeup and taming shine ..read more
