’Tis the season to get sweaty and shiny in your T-zone, and Bobbi Brown has a fix. The beauty mogul shared the makeup tool she said will help you “look great in seconds”—The Powder Puff from her brand, Jones Road Beauty. The recently-released tool ought to make setting creams and touching up oily spots an enjoyable, near-luxurious experience.
A powder puff is a classic makeup applicator that “makes powder *not* look powdery,” Brown captioned an Instagram post (in collaboration with her brand, Jones Road Beauty), promoting the tool. Its soft, wide surface area distributes powder thinly, evenly, and quickly to avoid the dreaded appearance of caked-on, thick makeup that settles into fine lines and emphasizes texture. “Reduce shine, set your makeup, and look great in seconds,” the caption concluded. Who doesn’t want to look great in seconds? Especially for under $15?
The pillowy face of the puff allows you to apply loose powder gently, yet precisely, so as not to disturb any makeup that may be underneath. Brown recommends pairing it with the Jones Road Beauty Tinted Face Powder to finish your look for one that is glowing, but not shiny or greasy.
According to the brand’s website, to use the tool, simply dip it into powder, tapping off any excess on the rim. Next, gently press it into your skin to set your makeup. When touching up, or if you need a tight application, you can fold the puff to get into the nooks and crannies of your face, like around the eyes and nose. There’s also a functional (and cute!) ribbon handle, printed with the brand’s logo, that allows you to slip your fingers beneath it for easy holding.
The Tinted Face Powder comes in a variety of shades that can provide coverage, color correct, brighten, or simply set the face. It’s super finely milled so that it effortlessly veils the skin, and of course, its circular container welcomes the similarly shaped Powder Puff perfectly.
This release is aptly timed, as the country continues to navigate its beginning-of-summer heatwave and we all attempt to prevent makeup from melting off. As always, Brown has the answer. Snag more of Brown’s recommended products below.
