Why We Love It

Soften shine—not your glow. This silky, featherweight formula helps absorb oil for 12 hours without taking away skin’s natural dimension.

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

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.

    Blurring Beauty

    Finally a powder that doesn't leave my dry, tight, and cracked at the end of the day! I got the shade light translucent because I'm one porcelain girlie. And I use this powder to set Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint in Rendezvous, just for reference. I love the skincare ingredients this pressed powder contains. The squalene keeps skin pliable . The finish is what I would call radiant silky. It does an excellent job setting face, taking down the shine, blurring pores, but still leaves you dimensional and lifelike. The compact is a great size for in the go. You get a lot of product, a mirror, and a puff that sits separate from the cake. My before and after picture is below !

    I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

    Great for an oily skin girl!

    As someone with super oily skin, this did a great job at controlling shine throughout the day! It also kept some dimension in my face instead of being a completely flat matte finish, which I liked. I got the light translucent shade, which was perfect for me, since it was still pretty translucent with just a bit of pigment in it.

    Soft Focus Finishing Powder in Medium

    I received ILIA Soft Focus Finishing Powder in Medium from Pinchme in exchange for my honest review. I was pleasantly surprised with this powder as it went on soft and gave my skin a smooth look. The powder significantly helped minimize my pores. I used a makeup brush to apply it more evenly but absolutely love it! Highly recommend!

    Such a lovely powder!

    This is such a beautiful powder! It is a great setting powder and finishing powder. It truly gives a soft focus effect. I am in my 40s so I usually stay away from powder because I don’t want my skin to look dry and I don’t want to emphasize texture or fine lines. This powder is so lightweight and finely milled that it sets my base and my concealer without making my skin look dry or textured. My concealer stays on all day without creasing. I am so happy to find a powder that works for me. I received this product free from Ilia.

    Makes my skin look finished

    I have the finishing powder in deep translucent and when I received this to try out and give my opinions I couldn’t be happier. I have other products from Ilia I have purchased with my own money and continue to use as well, so I am familiar with their quality. I love the way the compact looks, so clean and simple. It comes with a sponge and the powder is covered with a separate lid as well. This way I can control how much powder I put on the sponge and any oils from my skin are not sitting directly on the powder.

    I have not used any powder on my skin in at least a year for my everyday makeup looks. I have dry skin and I don’t like any tight feeling as if my face is going to crack. The Squalane makes this powder feel hydrating and silky smooth. It also finishes my face and gives me a much prettier look to my makeup. I told myself the natural dewy look was ok on me, but honestly my face looks really good with some powder. I definitely recommend this!

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.
