Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder

Minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines with Hourglass' Veil Translucent Setting Powder. This weightless formula, infused with soft-focus powders, sets makeup without flashback and blurs texture in a single pass.

Why this powder is the one people import

Veil Translucent is the setting powder Hourglass built its reputation on, and it behaves differently to a standard translucent powder. The particles are milled fine enough to diffuse light rather than sit on top of it, which is why it photographs without the grey cast that catches most translucent powders under flash. It sets a full base without dragging it, and it does not go chalky on deeper skin tones — the single most common complaint with translucent powders sold in India.

Sizes and what they cost in India

• Travel size — ₹4,650. The sensible first purchase, and the one that fits a handbag for touch-ups.
• Full size — ₹9,850. Lasts most people well over a year at daily use.

Both prices include customs and import duties. Nothing further is collected at your door.

How to use it

Press, do not sweep. Load a velour puff or a dense powder brush, tap off the excess, and press into the areas that move most — under the eyes, around the nose, the centre of the forehead. Sweeping lifts foundation and is what causes patchiness later in the day. For an under-eye set, press and leave it for thirty seconds before dusting away the excess.

Buying it authentically

Setting powders are among the most counterfeited items in luxury beauty, because the packaging is simple to copy and the difference only shows in wear. Fakes typically feel heavier, sit visibly in texture, and break down within a few hours. Luxe by Kan sources this powder from official UK and US channels, and the duty is already priced in.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder available in India?

Yes. It is stocked at Luxe by Kan in both travel and full size, at ₹4,650 and ₹9,850 respectively, with customs duties included in the listed price.

Does it leave a white cast on Indian skin tones?

No. The formula is finely milled and translucent rather than white-pigmented, so it sets without depositing colour. It is one of the few translucent powders that performs reliably on medium and deep skin tones, including in flash photography.

What is the difference between the travel size and the full size?

The formula is identical. The travel size is a smaller pan intended for touch-ups and first-time buyers; the full size is the standard retail pan and works out considerably better per gram.
