Founder's Note

“Baked powders are my favorite because there’s an airy softness to them. It blurs with a skin-like finish for a soft, airbrushed canvas that doesn't look makeup-y.”

— Sasha

FAQ

If we didn't answer your question, contact us.

Soft Focus Finishing Powder is formulated for all skin types. The weightless baked formula with up to 12-hour shine control and 12-hour hydration makes it the perfect finishing powder for normal, dry, oily, mature, and sensitive skin.

After applying Super Serum Skin Tint, use a brush or the sponge to gently press the finishing powder into the skin. You can apply it all over or just in shiny areas for a blurred look. Take the compact with you to soften shine and refresh your makeup on the go.

Soft Focus Finishing Powder is clinically tested to be safe for sensitive skin. It’s also non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested, and formulated without fragrance, gluten, or talc.

Soft Focus Finishing Powder is formulated without talc.

Setting powder is best for locking in makeup and mattifying skin. Finishing powder is used to blur pores, smooth texture, and “finish” your look. They work perfectly together—try setting your look with Soft Focus Setting Powder, then take Soft Focus Finishing Powder with you for touch-ups on the go.

Either way works. You can finish your foundation or concealer with Soft Focus Finishing Powder, then layer Soft Focus Blurring Blush on top for a pop of color. You can also apply blush first, then use finishing powder to soften the color and help your makeup blend together.

Reviews Summary
ILIA customers say this finishing powder is lightweight and blurs pores beautifully without looking cakey. Many praise its soft, natural finish and shine control throughout the day. Customers appreciate how it sets makeup while maintaining a skin-like appearance. Some note the included sponge applicator is less effective than using a brush, and a few mention limited shade range for deeper skin tones.

    Perfect

    I received this as a free sample from PINCHme. I use it on top of my ILIA foundation and it works great to reduce oiliness and visible pores. My skin looked great and matte. It was easy to remove with facial cleanser and water afterwards and I haven't had any negative reactions.

    Love!

    Very fine and barely there feel. Does a decent job absorbing oil and isn’t drying. The light medium is warm toned but not in a bad way. Overall great product!

    New to the brand, but extremely impressed!

    I’ll be honest, I had never heard of ILIA before trying this, so I really didn’t know what to expect. As someone with normal-to-dry skin, I’m usually cautious with finishing powders because they can quickly make my skin look flat, dry, or emphasize texture. This one completely surprised me.

    The thing I love most is the way it actually seems to soften the appearance of my skin rather than just sit on top of it. The powder is incredibly fine, and once it’s pressed into the skin, it gives that almost “soft-focus filter” effect. My pores and little areas of texture look more diffused, but my skin still looks like skin. It doesn’t give me that heavy, powdered-over appearance.

    I also really appreciate the finish. It takes away unwanted shine without completely killing the natural dimension of my face, which is especially important with my normal-to-dry skin. I can use it where I need it without feeling like I’ve powdered my entire face into oblivion. It leaves my makeup looking smoother and more polished while still looking soft and natural.

    Another little detail I noticed is how well it works around areas where powder can usually be unforgiving. Instead of immediately making my skin look dry or emphasizing texture, it gives everything a more blurred, refined appearance. It’s one of those products where you notice the overall finish more than you notice that you’re wearing powder.

    The one thing I didn’t really care for is the applicator. I personally prefer using a brush…

Blur and soften shine. Keep your glow.

ILIA Soft Focus Finishing Powder is the perfect finishing step for your skin-first routine. It diffuses shine and blurs pores, leaving skin looking dimensional—never flat.

Developed with Soft Focus Complex, an optimized ratio of blurring and illuminating powders, it smooths texture weightlessly. Absorbs oil breakthrough without stripping hydration. The result is a blurred, skin-like finish that controls shine for 12 hours.

Safe for sensitive skin. Non-comedogenic. Dermatologist-tested. Formulated without talc or fragrance, so it’s gentle enough for all skin types.

Take it with you for touch-ups—the reusable sponge was made to refresh your look on the go.

Pairs perfectly with Super Serum Skin Tint. Apply Skin Tint for an SPF-powered base, then finish with powder to soften unwanted shine. From dewy to softly blurred—the finish is yours to control.
