Eye of Horus pressed powder: how to pick the right shade

Your everyday essential just became even more effortless. The new refillable pressed powder from Eye of Horus Cosmetics is here! A lightweight, breathable formula that softens shine, blurs imperfections, and leaves your skin feeling calm, refreshed and naturally radiant. But with 10 various shades, how do you choose your perfect match? Here’s our simple guide to help you find the pressed powder shade that blends seamlessly into your complexion.

Step 1. Understand your undertone

Choosing the right shade starts with understanding your undertone, the subtle hue beneath your skin’s surface that never changes. You can easily discover your undertone with a few different tricks:

+ Vein test: Green veins = warm. Blue or purple = cool. A mix = neutral.
+ Clothing test: Cool undertones shine in bright white. Warm undertones glow in ivory or cream.
+ Sun test: Burn easily? Likely cool. Tan first? Likely warm.

Step 3. How to apply the pressed powder

Add Coverage
For a quick, natural look with light–medium coverage, use the vegan buffing brush. Sweep in gentle circular motions across your face for a smooth, even base.

Set Makeup
After foundation, lightly dust powder with the vegan multi-tasking brush. Focus on areas prone to creasing — under the eyes, around the nose, and across the chin — to lock everything in place.

Control Shine
Your compact is made for touch-ups. Keep it close for mid-day refreshes and press powder into oil-prone areas like the T-zone with a brush or sponge to absorb excess shine.

 

This is more than just a powder; it is conscious beauty with a purpose. Whether you apply it for a polished base, want to set your look for long-lasting wear, or need to refresh your glow on the go, the Eye of Horus refillable pressed powder is the multipurpose essential your skin and routine have been waiting for.
