It takes the stress out of your makeup routine. Apply it in the morning and trust it to work, so you can focus on your day, not your face.

The Secret to Flawless Photos

It prevents flashback and keeps your makeup looking smooth and even in pictures, so you always look camera-ready.

Perfect for Touchy Skin

With no fragrance and a non-comedogenic formula, it's gentle enough for sensitive or acne-prone skin types. It won't cause irritation or breakouts.

Makes Your Pores Disappear

The micro-fine powder blurs the look of pores and fine lines, giving you a soft-focus, airbrushed effect without heavy filters.

Kose Make Keep Powder was born from a simple, unmet need in the Japanese beauty market: a setting powder that truly lasts through a demanding modern lifestyle. While working long hours in humid offices and commuting on crowded trains, Japanese women needed a solution that wouldn't fade, cake, or require constant touch-ups. Kose's R&D team, operating from their GMP-certified facility in Tokyo, developed this matte formula using a unique, ultra-fine powder technology to address this specific challenge. Every ingredient was selected for its proven performance and safety, undergoing 23 separate stability and wear tests. The result is a product that quickly became a top-ranked setting powder in Japan, trusted for its no-nonsense approach to all-day wear.

Kose Make Keep Powder - Long Lasting Matte Setting Powder is formulated with key ingredients designed to enhance makeup longevity and skin appearance. Talc serves as the primary base, providing a smooth, matte finish by absorbing excess oil and reducing shine, which helps maintain a fresh look throughout the day. Silica is included to further control sebum and blur imperfections, offering a soft-focus effect that minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines. Nylon-12 contributes to the powder's lightweight texture, ensuring even application and preventing cakiness, while enhancing adherence to the skin for extended wear. Additionally, dimethicone acts as a conditioning agent, imparting a silky feel and improving spreadability without clogging pores, which supports skin comfort. These ingredients work synergistically to deliver a long-lasting, matte finish that keeps makeup intact, controls oil production, and provides a refined, natural-looking complexion suitable for various skin types.
