Makeup That Stays Put, Naturally

Users say it 'locks makeup in place' for hours without the heavy, cakey feeling of traditional powders. Your look stays fresh from morning to evening.

Blurs Imperfections, Not Your Skin

Creates a 'soft-focus filter' effect. It minimizes the look of pores and fine lines, giving you a perfected complexion that still looks like real skin.

No More Midday Shine Panic

Silk naturally manages oil. Reviewers love that it 'controls shine' without needing constant touch-ups, so you can focus on your day, not your face.

Feels Like You're Wearing Nothing

The ultra-fine powder is 'weightless' and 'not chalky.' You get the benefits of a setting powder without any dry, tight, or powdery sensation.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin

Made with one pure ingredient, it's a relief for skin stressed by modern routines. Users with sensitivity report 'no irritation' and 'no breakouts.'

A Flawless Finish in Any Light

The light-diffusing property means your skin looks smooth and radiant both in harsh office lighting and soft, natural daylight.

Simplifies Your Beauty Routine

One product replaces multiple steps. It sets, blurs, and mattifies, helping you achieve a refined look without a drawer full of products.

Invests in Your Skin's Appearance

Unlike some powders that can sit on top of the skin, this pure silk powder is a skin-friendly finishing step that supports, rather than masks, your natural complexion.

1. After applying foundation or concealer, dip a fluffy brush lightly into the powder. 2. Tap off any excess. 3. Gently press and roll the brush onto the skin, focusing on the T-zone and under-eyes where makeup tends to move. 4. For a final, all-over finish, use a light sweeping motion. Best applied as the final step in your makeup routine. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You'll notice an immediate 'soft-focus' effect, blurring the look of pores and fine lines without a chalky finish. Week 2-3: With consistent use, makeup stays in place longer. Users report their skin feels 'less oily' throughout a busy day. Week 4+: The finely-milled silk integrates seamlessly with your skin's texture. The result is a naturally perfected, lit-from-within look that becomes a reliable part of your routine.

Kitao was founded in Kyoto, Japan, by a team of cosmetic chemists who saw a problem: modern makeup and environmental stress were leaving skin looking dull and tired. They believed the solution wasn't more coverage, but better care from within the routine. Their answer was to harness 100% pure, non-GMO Japanese silk, a material revered for centuries for its gentle, light-reflecting properties. Every batch is produced in a Japanese government-certified GMP facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This commitment to a single, perfect ingredient has made it a top-ranked setting powder in its category, trusted by users who want their skin to look like skin, just better.

Kitao Silk Powder 100 is formulated with 100% pure silk powder as its sole ingredient, derived from finely milled silk fibers. This ingredient serves as a setting powder by absorbing excess oil and moisture on the skin, creating a smooth, matte finish that minimizes shine and extends makeup wear. Silk powder is included for its lightweight, breathable texture that blurs imperfections and fine lines without settling into pores or causing a heavy, cakey appearance. The benefits to the user include a natural, silky-smooth complexion with a soft-focus effect, enhanced skin luminosity due to silk's light-reflective properties, and suitability for sensitive skin as it is hypoallergenic and free from additives like talc or fragrances. Its pure composition ensures it is gentle and non-irritating while providing long-lasting, buildable coverage for a flawless finish.
