(FKA Translucent Mattifying) Powder
This completely natural setting powder absorbs oil, sets foundation, and gives your face a flawless finish.
Use it with makeup or on a fresh face to keep shine under control.
Sustainable packaging options
Choose a refillable glass jar, a biodegradable paperboard shaker tube, or a biodegradable refill bag. The bag contains 1 cup of powder, which is approximately 5 ounces by weight, and will refill your jar about 4 times (depending on how messy you get!)
The jar and shaker tube each contain about 1/4 cup of powder.
Eco idea: Go for the refill bag and find a cute vintage container or repurpose something you already have on hand, like a spice jar from the kitchen. (A wide-mouth container is best for this product)
Ingredients
non-gmo cornstarch, tapioca starch, essential oils of organic ylang ylang, geraniumn (ylang ylang pictured on product cover photo)
Instructions
Dust onto skin using a makeup brush or powder puff and blend.
Layer over filter balm and over (or under) other makeup to set the colors. Apply it to your eyelids too.
Product FAQs
Is this really translucent?
Yes. Tapioca and cornstarch do not deposit any color onto your skin, but, with a generous dusting this may look a bit white when you first apply. This powdered effect should soften and dissipate after a few moments, leaving your natural skin-tone intact.
Always try a sample first to see how this product works for you.

About Twinkle Apothecary
Lo-Fi Beauty for Modern Humans
Lo-fi (fidelity) is a production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections are present, sometimes as a deliberate choice.
Welcome,
To my world of plant-based, slow beauty. Twinkle Apothecary is a one-person, artisan craft business, founded in 2015, and owned and operated by me, Stefanie.
I create 100% botanical-based fragrances for all genders, with minimal, low-waste, vegan skincare and makeup to minimize your routine.
These are old-school, stripped down, pared-back products, that are as close to nature as it gets. Made by hand with no fillers, no preservatives, and nothing cutting edge.
I don’t believe in miracle products. I do believe that sticking to a consistent routine which nourishes and supports your skin’s natural ability to balance and heal itself can produce results that feel like a miracle in a world that’s constantly trying to convince you to buy the next new thing.
My goal is to make personal care simple, sustainable, and joyful, so that you can live your life free from the labor of trying to achieve unattainable beauty standards.
Twinkle Apothecary is a minimalist brand. I'm always looking for the simplest way to do things, not only in my formulations, but also in my business operations and my approach to packaging and design. To me, it's what's inside the bottles that really counts - that's why each product has a simple label with a QR code, which you can scan to see the full product details and instructions. I offer just a handful of skincare products, which can be customized to meet your specific needs. I truly believe that less is more.
And if you'd like to take a break from beauty routines to explore your connection to the beauty of the earth through natural fragrances, you're in the right place. (Perfumery is my passion!)
I hope you enjoy your time exploring my handmade creations. Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect for setting my makeup in the mornings!
That's such a nice way to describe how the setting powder feels, thank you!
I have combination skin. I am either super oily or dry and cracking. The base powder takes away my shine, but it does not dry out my skin. It adds some sparkle to my natural skin and really enhances it. This is a must have product for me.
Ooh - sparkle - I love to hear it! Thanks so much for the awesome review!
I had given up on powders, thinking I was forever doomed to an unavoidable mid-day forehead shine. I decided to try this powder on a whim, and it is absolutely the best powder I have ever used in my life. I am forever changed.
That's AWESOME! I'm so glad you're loving it. Thank you for leaving a review!
I used to think powder was for old ladies, or it at least needed to be tinted to look good. Not true! This lightweight, silky setting powder is everything you wanted powder to be - beautiful light scent + translucent coverage that cuts shine with an airbrushed feel + a very small ingredient list (all of which I could pronounce!). I am forever a convert and should never have waited so long to purchase. Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy this RIGHT NOW!
Yes, my evil plan to convert everyone into a powder user is finally working! Haha! So glad you're loving it. Thanks for the review!
I have supremely sensitive eyes (and skin) and figured I'd give this setting powder a try with the sample size. It doesn't irritate my eyes! I typically only use it over my minimal daily BB cream and Twinkle shimmer balm for events, as I don't need it for every day, but this is the best, non-irritating powder I've ever used. I'm about to try Twinkle's eye tint for the first time and will also use it with that!
Excellent! I'm so glad to offer a non-irritating option. Thanks for the review!

Let customers speak for us
from 1408 reviewsI absolutely LOVE this scent! It feels effortless, unique, woodsy but warm…if only my perfume bottles were bottomless! 😉
Just like a cool fall day! Lots of light layered notes all wrapped up in a warm, earthy base. I really enjoy this one!
I have sensitive, reactive skin so I get the oil without any added essential oils. It’s gentle, moisturizing, and makes my skin very happy!
I absolutely love this shampoo, and it's a great value, one bottle lasts months (for short/pixie hair!)
This smells really good! I’m not a perfume person but maybe I am now? Perhaps I just wasn’t wearing the right perfumes? This smells like warmth and fall and kinda like a cozy winter night. It’s not too strong and doesn’t overpower me/others. Lasts the perfect amount of time.
I have these in sandstone and mother of pearl and they work really well on me. They're sheer and very natural looking; I prefer the tubes since for me they are easier to use . I look forward to trying more colors
It really does work! I’ve been using it more lately postpartum (thanks hormones) and I can tell a difference in the morning if I use this right before bed. I’m not a fan on the fragrance BUT that’s the tea tree oil I assume and it’s doing its job so I’ll absolutely take the good with the bad.
Twinkle’s skincare has been consistently outstanding for years. I just recently purchased the starter skincare set - getting back to the basics of taking care of my skin. My pores were clogged, my skin was dry/flaking and my acne was getting worse, so when I went back through what has worked for me in the past I knew Twinkle’s skincare was the answer. I have used every product in this set for a month day and night, and my skin has drastically improved. I’ve felt more confident too! The smell of the rejuvenating toner has and always will be one of my favorites. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean but not dry. The facial oil is a legitimate must have of any skincare routine and I can’t believe more people don’t know about the benefits. The butter is soft and ultra lightweight .My skin is moisturized and happy! Acne is cleared, dryness is gone. Start here, you will be so happy with the results,
I’ve been using the rose hydrosol twice a day for months and love how refreshed it makes my skin feel. My husband uses the lavender hydrosol with the acne blend.
This is my favorite product on the site and that's saying something. I tried many body butters and none come close to this. It truly moisturizes and it doesn't take much to do so. I used it everywhere and the sample lasted for me. I look forward to ordering a larger size when I place my next order.
I feel so fancy using this under my eyes! Smells nice and keeps eyes bright. I also put it in my lashes!
Moody, earthy. Perfect for a night out.
I tried the balancing blend shampoo and conditioner yesterday on my long, fine hair, & it feels softer than normal. I wasn't expecting that but I like it!!
The only thing I’ll ever wash my face with for the rest of my life !!
Bug Away spray is fantastic! I live in Minnesota where the mosquitoes are horrendous, but I hate using traditional bug sprays. Bug Away works and smells really lovely!
