1. After applying foundation or BB cream, gently tap the included puff onto the powder. 2. Lightly press and roll the puff over your entire face, focusing on the T-zone and under-eye area where makeup typically fades first. 3. For touch-ups throughout the day, lightly blot the puff on the powder and press onto areas that have become shiny. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Notice an immediate 'blurring' effect and a smoother, more even base that feels weightless. Week 2-3: Experience longer-lasting makeup hold. Your foundation stays put for 8+ hours without separating or settling into fine lines. Week 4+: Enjoy a consistently flawless, matte canvas. Your skin appears refined, and you use less product for touch-ups as oil control becomes more effective.

Born from Kose's 70-year dedication to Japanese skincare science, the Esprique Silky Long Stay Powder was created to solve a modern problem: makeup that fades under stress, humidity, and long days. Our researchers in Tokyo developed a unique, ultra-fine powder formula that locks onto skin without clogging pores, using a patented spherical silica technology. Every batch is produced in a certified Japanese GMP facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This commitment to precision has made it a top-ranked setting powder in Japan for over 5 consecutive years, trusted by users who demand their makeup looks just-applied from morning until night.

Kose Esprique Silky Long Stay Powder - Flawless Matte Finish is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to deliver a smooth, long-lasting matte finish. The powder includes talc, which acts as a primary absorbent to control excess oil and shine, providing a soft-focus effect that minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines. Silica is incorporated to enhance the lightweight, silky texture, ensuring easy application and a non-cakey feel while improving adherence to the skin for extended wear. Nylon-12 contributes to the smooth spreadability and helps in blurring imperfections, offering a flawless, even-toned look. Additionally, dimethicone is included as a silicone-based ingredient to create a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing makeup from settling into lines, thus promoting a comfortable, matte finish throughout the day. These ingredients work synergistically to offer users benefits such as oil control, a refined complexion, and durable coverage that maintains a natural, matte appearance without heaviness.
