Makeup artist Sheika Daley — who is responsible for the beauty behind Zendaya‘s pink Valentino campaign — shared her #1 go-to powder. The powder she always reaches for is the Lancôme Dual Finish Multi-tasking Longwear Powder, which immediately smooths without caking or drying out your skin. “It’s great for setting foundation, as it is full-coverage and really gives that velvety finish to any look,” she told Vanity Fair. This powder will leave your skin with a shine-free finish and even-toned skin.

For the best application, wear the powder over your face primer or makeup base and concealer to create a flawless yet natural makeup look. Sheika was also the makeup artist behind Jodie Turner-Smith‘s Met Gala debut look and explained that she loves the “extreme versatility” of the powder. She shared that it can be applied wet with a damp sponge or dry with a big fluffy brush — depending on if you’re looking for a full coverage look or something more sheer. Even better, the powder comes with a puff for dry application and a sponge for wet application. If you decide to use it in a wet makeup application, the powder even acts as a liquid foundation, and if you use it dry, it sets seamlessly into the skin.
