Prep / Finish Powder

Light and never cakey, this universal translucent powder helps makeup adhere to the skin and stay for longer.

Mattify without dryness

Unique and revolutionary, Prep/Finish Powder creates a smooth and oil-absorbing base for makeup without dehydrating the skin.

Protection from blue light

This powder uses a special blend of soy and rice extracts, which has been shown to help guard the skin against harmful environmental stressors.

Ideal for all skin types

Prep/Finish Powder is perfect for those prone to rosacea, oily skin or larger pores by blurring skin irregularities in the moment and working to promote balanced, smoother skin overtime.

Pro Tips

Prep face, eyes and lips

An oil absorbing base for Concealer/Foundation for those who need extra longevity or prefer an ultra matte foundation. To prime the eyes, apply Prep/Finish powder across the eye lids prior to eye makeup application. For extra long wear lips and a sharp lip line, dust over the lips prior to applying Cheek/Lip tint with Lip Brush.

Finish

Create an invisible second skin and set makeup by powdering all over the face.

Application

Swiping powder onto the face is likely to disrupt foundation application. Instead, load Aleph Powder Brush with sufficient powder and press and roll the powder onto the face. Repeat, always ensuring there is enough powder on the brush to deposit onto the face or there will be a risk of depositing makeup onto the surface of the powder.

Packaging

We are easily as passionate and rigorous with our packaging as we are with what we put in it.

Most of it is made from reusable, recyclable glass and our lids from equally recyclable aluminium. When we occasionally need to use plastic we ensure it’s in a recyclable form.

Made from FSC Certified paper, Aleph boxes are home compostable as are our postage and packaging materials. Even our wee stickers on the base of the jars can head back to the earth once you’re done with them.

Friendly to sensitive noses

Same as other Aleph products I've tried, no skin reactions and love that it's fragrance free. It does leave my skin feeling smooth. Have used as a finishing powder and just on it's own over sunscreen.

It was so easy to stain it with the other products though. I couldn't manage to keep it clean, but that could be user error. Still works just as well even at it's not so pristine white state.

Some transfer can sometimes occur when using pressed powders with cream based foundations. I have attached a video tutorial with tips and tricks for the Prep/Finish Powder 😊https://alephbeauty.com/products/prep-finish-powder?_pos=1&_sid=bcf58b69c&_ss=r

Perfect finish

So light and doesn’t change your foundation colour. Make up feels really set after applying without feeling heavy. Love it!

Live the way it sits on my skin after my make up. It sort of holds it in place, taking away the shine.

Great product!

I have large oily pores and find prepping foundation before and dusting with after has kept my shine down without looking dry. I’m older and this product gives a nice matte silky finish that doesn’t enhance wrinkles. Feels & looks nice and natural!
