Pressed Powder

Description

Product description

This pressed powder from T. LeClerc controls shine & provides long-wearing matte coverage with a touch of natural colour to the skin. This is a pressed and more portable format of their famous Loose Powder, which has been keeping French women's complexions velvety smooth since 1881. The Zinc oxide helps correct the appearance of minor imperfections & also acts as a physical protector against pollution & solar radiation.

Why it's cult

Products don't last over 100 years unless they are very, very good. T. LeClerc was founded in 1881 by pharmacist Théophile LeClerc who developed a light, fine rice powder which immediately became a hit with the elegant ladies of Paris. The powders (both loose & set) are loved by make-up artists, actresses & top models for their make up setting, complexion-balancing & mattifying mastery. The spirit of the Belle Epoque lives on in the elegant slim silver compact (which includes a mirror & sponge.)
