Loose mineral powders

A powder that doubles as foundation

The loose powders are made from four minerals and contain no chromium, nickel, talc, essential oils or perfume. Mica reflects light, so the skin looks smoother and fresher. You control coverage with the number of layers: one evens out your skin tone, more give fuller coverage. A sifter in the jar stops too much powder coming out. Colourless Tora does not change your shade; it mattifies and sets your make-up.

How to choose your powder shade

The shades carry Scandinavian names such as Siri, Ingrid, Ylva and Saga and range from fair to deeper. Ylva, for example, is meant for deeper skin, while Ingrid suits a neutral complexion. Powder looks different in the jar than on the skin, so test the shade on your jawline in daylight and judge it only once it is on your face.

Applying with a kabuki brush

• Open the sifter and tap a little powder into the lid.
• Dip the kabuki brush into it and tap off the excess.
• Apply the powder in circular movements from the centre of the face outwards.
• For more coverage, gently press the next layer into the skin.
