Powder room

SPRING cleaning is not something I enjoy. But now as I stand on the cusp of summer I think it’s time I did something about my rather unpleasant, rather outdated, and thoroughly unnecessary collection of pressed powder.

Powder is a beauty product I’ve been hooked on since about the age of 20 when I spent all my disposable cash on Clinique’s Superpowder Double Face Powder.

It has come in and out of fashion since, but it’s something that I’ve always used. I love it’s translucence - the way that it puts a very natural, very imperceptible veil over the ruddy bucolic bits of my face. It’s barely there, and you should never ever be able to see it. Never. If you can see powder on your face, then you’re using the wrong powder.
