What is "Voilé"?

Voilé is finely milled and silky and contains Zinc Oxide, for full spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Voilé also utilizes advanced light-dispersing and skin-smoothing pigment technology.

What does "Voilé" mean? Voile= veil in French. (Voilé is pronounced "Vwa-lay"). Voile is also the name given to delicate, diaphanous cotton fabric. Voilé provides a lightweight, breathable layering for your skin... melding with your skin to give the appearance of perfection. It's "Your Skin... Only Better" (TM).

Voilé Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium dioxide (CI 77891), Zinc Oxide, Silica (Silicon dioxide), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)

We use only pure, refined, and finely millled cosmetic-grade minerals in our formulations. Our loose mineral cosmetic face powders are light, breatheable, and provide natural barrier protection from the sun. You'll find it hard to believe that something this lightweight could provide such excellent coverage, but that's thanks to the nature of our ingredients. In particular, silky mica powder. This mineral covers your skin in a micro-thin layer, reflecting light, flattering your face and reducing the outer appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Excellent for oily skintypes, you'll love the mattifying effect of this powder.

What is the coverage of Voilé comparable to? Voilé's coverage is comparable to brands such as Bare Escentuals, Youngblood, Jane Iredale and GloMinerals. However, with Voilé, you can easily achieve variable coverage depending on your application tools.

You can achieve variable coverage with Voilé? Voilé is different from commercially available mineral makeup foundation powders containing Bismuth oxychloride. These products have a "creamy" feel due to the bismuth ingredient, but great care must be taken to apply a thin, even layer of powder to avoid a "mask-like" or overly shiny appearance.

Sometimes, time consuming application techniques, such as buffing and use of various brushes is employed to achieve desireable results. Some powders are glimmery and a cornstarch-based finishing powder must be used in order to reduce the shine.

However, none of this applies to Aromaleigh Voilé Mineral Makeup Foundation... Voilé is very different from traditional mineral cosmetic foundation powders. It feels different on the skin. The ingredients are different. It's light and breathable. It is perfectly matte. It is very easy to apply. It does not accentuate pores and fine lines. It can act as a foundation powder or a finishing powder depending on what you use to apply it. It's truly a versatile product!

Do you want heavier coverage? Then apply your Voilé over well-moisturized skin with a flocked sponge, or try the wet application method.

Do you want medium coverage? Then apply your Voilé over well-moisturized skin with a soft kabuki brush, such as our "Delectable" kabuki... start with one thin layer and then add more powder to areas where you need additional coverage.

Want light coverage? Then use a soft, fluffy brush to apply your Voilé. Dip your brush into the powder and twirl to pick up product, then lightly whisk over your face,

"Set" your mineral powder with a few spritzes of toner or spring water, and you're good to go!Bismuth oxychloride? No. None of our cosmetics contain this ingredient, which can be irritating to certain skintypes. Some customers report that bismuth oxychloride can also make their faces itch, or cause breakouts.

Are your face powders shiny, or "glowy"? No. Unlike other mineral makeup powders which are often highly illuminating or shiny when applied.

NOTE: While we have made all attempts for photographs to accurately depict colors, photography unfortunately does not accurately reveal the depth and interplay of color and effect of these powders. Also, please note that variations do exist between different computer monitors.
