Product Information

The range has been inspired by makeup artist Huda Kattan’s belief that “baking” (the act of applying a liquid base and a powder, waiting a few minutes, and then brushing it off) is the best way to achieve a flawless finish, but this multipurpose product worked just as well when used as a radiance-enhancing powder, ever so subtly colour-correcting and leaving a translucent veil that was both matte and luminous.

If you’re looking for a powder that has staying power, Huda Beauty’s Easy Bake could well become a staple in your makeup kit. There’s the translucent Sugar Cookie hue, which we’d suggest works best for brightening fairer skin tones, as well as seven other sheer shades – so there’s sure to be one that works for you.

The No.7 Perfect Light Loose Setting Powder comes in four shades: 05 Translucent, 10 Fair, 15 Medium and 20 Dark. I use 05 Translucent. While it looks distinctively pink in the pot, it seems to blend out to an invisible finish. It suits me — fair with a neutral undertone — but I do feel it might look a bit too pink/cool-toned on anyone with warm-toned or olive skin.

It certainly keeps my under eye concealer in place for a good few hours, but I feel like the brightening effect fades slightly after a few hours of wear. Reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines leaving skin looking visibly smoother and more refined. Ideal for touch-ups and helps to prolong make-up wear.
