Powder coated
By now dry shampoo is a staple in all our beauty regimens. So Canadian brand Cake Beauty took this must-have a giant leap forward. The Everything Powder can cover up to 21 beauty tasks —talk about a multi-tasker— starting with a little dirty hair refresh. The talc-free formula is a power blend of fine cornstarch, infused with soothing aloe vera and vitamin E that can be used to help deodorize, mattify, and get skin primed for makeup. Cake Beauty's list of uses includes making concealer and foundation, fighting shine, boosting brows and eyelashes, relieving razor burn, priming your pout for lipstick, setting your eyeliner and so much more.
