What it is
La Poudre Haute Nuance is a five-color pressed face powder used to remake and refine makeup through the day. Blending its pale shades over the skin evens tone for a smooth, luminous finish, and shade 09 adds a pearl-like glow for an elegant complexion. This is the case and refill set with a puff; a powder brush is sold separately.
Why it's different

Comes as a case and refill set with a puff, ready to use.
