T. LeClerc Loose Powder in Bistré Review

T. LeClerc Loose Powder in Bistré Review

T. LeClerc Loose Facial Powder is a luxurious hand-sealed loose powder that may be worn by itself or on top of liquid foundation to achieve instant illumination.

Texture:
Amazingly fine and light loose powder based on pure rice starch provides matte finish and visibly smoothes the skin. T. LeClerc incomparably masters light and hides flaws while magnifying the complexion. This powder is well-tolerated by the most sensitive skin, and also serves as protection against pollution and solar radiation.

Application:
Let your base or foundation be absorbed for few minutes before applying loose or compact powder.  Apply generously with a velour puff over concealer or base.  Use a large powder brush for a more subtle effect when applying over foundation.  Smooth off any excess powder.

Benefits:
·       Talcum powder for a fine and soft texture.
·       Rice Starch for a long-lasting matte finish.
·       Light catching pigments for a “soft focus” effect.

Bistré: Rosy beige. Bestows a healthy glow and glamorous radiance to skin with yellow undertones.

Singapore’s hot and humid weather forces our skin to produce oil and makes us want to reach for the oil blotter paper. 

I have been searching for a perfect loose powder for years and have tried many brands of loose powder to no avail… A great loose powder is one that can counter the feeling of oiliness after slogging for long hours in the office and having the unavoidable 5 o’clock shine which can be rather embarrassing! 

Furthermore, I am not into using foundation and compressed powder. 

Finally, I have found a loose powder that would give me an au natural look with good coverage that controls oiliness.  It also allows my skin to look poreless with an ethereal glow that would last the entire day without the need to powder my face at all! 

This loose power is suitable to calm even the most sensitive skin.  I even use this loose powder after my skin treatments! 

Kudos to the French who are so good in their cosmetic technology…
