How to Use Velvet Brightening Powder
  • Watch Video
  • How to Use
  • Prep Your Skin
    Apply and blend your foundation and concealer as usual before setting with powder.
  • Pick Up the Powder
    Use the included puff, a damp sponge, or a fluffy brush to pick up a small amount of powder. A little goes a long way thanks to the ultra-fine formula.
  • Apply Under the Eyes
    Gently press or sweep the powder beneath your eyes to instantly brighten, blur, and smooth.
  • Set & Bake (Optional)
    For enhanced brightness and longer wear, let the powder sit for a few minutes before dusting off any excess.
  • Use All Over (Optional)
    Lightly dust over your T-zone, forehead, and chin to blur pores, reduce shine, and add soft-focus dimension.
💡Pro Tip

Use the Velvet Brightening Powder to sculpt and lift your features by applying it under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and beneath your contour. This technique enhances contrast and adds soft dimension without harsh lines. For extra precision and a seamless blend, pair it with our Perfecting Puff—its plush, curved surface presses powder in flawlessly for a natural, dimensional finish.

I applied the powder to one side only so you can see the difference on bare skin

This powder has changed the game for me when it comes to finishing and setting my makeup, especially for controlling the dark circles under my eyes! What a game changer this product has been for me. I cannot rave about it enough. I also love using a little on my upper lip and down the center of my nose to give additional shine control and brightening to my finished face!

Wendy Z.

I honestly didn't know what to expect or if it really covered and helped under my eyes. I used it the first time, only under one eye to see the difference. I couldn't believe it. So glad I purchased this fantastic product and wish I bought two. It instantly brightened my face and I received so many compliments the night this photo was taken. I'm 57

Heaven-sent! I've never loved a powder as much as I love these Brightening Powder. It just makes everything better. Covers shine and is not even cakey despite me getting sweaty. A very good product indeed!

Shouldn't contain Talc

I was so surprised to see this contained talc after I bought it! Very dissapointing given the proven health risks of talc so can't purchase again unfortunately.

Be aware of asbestos

I brought this and I was unaware it contained talc and comes from the USA and it’s not regulated over there nor can the FDA confirm there is no contamination of asbestos in the talc, there is no way I’ll be using this product again or exposing my family to it!

Product arrived crushed inadequate packaging

Please email me marketing people . I cannot use this product it is no longer pressed. It arrived almost as loose powder. With large chunks of pressed. I have purchased products before and loved them but was disappointed with how the powder arrived. I have to very careful with $$ I’m a single mum.

I have an olive undertone and have tried various viral pink loose powders to brighten my under-eyes, but the undertones always look odd on my skin.

But when I tried this one... Perfecto! Love it!

I purchased the velvet brightening powder a few weeks ago and I procrastinated for a while after seeing it and I'm so glad I just bit the bullet and ordered it! It is wonderful for under my eyes for my dark circles and just finishes off my entire makeup. Lovely product and smells so good 😊 very happy

When I first got this powder I wasn't sure but when travelling without it I missed it so much! I love the way it brightens under my eyes with a healthy glow.

I have been purchasing Nikkia Joy powders from the early days. I loved the original with the vanilla scent, however, it was always a tad to dark for my pasty, pale skin.

I turned to Givenchy Prisme Libre loose powder for a while there until they change their formula. Then I tried the Nikkia Joy brightening powder.

OH EM GEE love!

This powder is the perfect powder, and sh!ts all over the prisme loose OG formula. I use a small amount with a puff sponge all over my face and blurs all my imperfections, leaves my skin radiant, and sets my foundation perfectly. I never look cakey and I recommend this powder to everyone who compliments my makeup and asks what my secret to flawless skin is.

I am also the biggest fan of Nikkia sponges. I have use nothing but the sponges since they were released. There is no sponge on the market that compares, and trust me, I have tried almost every sponge out there for the perfect application tool.

If you have very pale skin I recommend this powder over the OG Nikkia powder, if your skin is lucky and has the ability to tan, I recommend the OG formula.

This powder is by far the best setting powder formula on the market, blurs your imperfections and is an amazing price point for how much product you get.

Definitely buy, you wont be disappointed!

No caking, no creasing, very little settling in my fine lines despite my age (40+) and the brightening effect is everything

I bought bcos the reviews were great, but i was left disappointed. Did absolutely nothing to hide dark circles. I use a different one normally, and it's much better. Does smell lovely though, but that's not enough to buy again.

I have light/medium with pink undertones skin & this powder works brilliantly in my under eye area to brighten and reduce the darkness. I did use it when I had a dark spray tan on and it was too light for me so I had to buff it out and apply the original setting powder to calm it down which worked nicely. Overall its sets and lasted all day without creasing!

Lovely texture and has a nice finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Velvet Brightening Powder

What is the Velvet Brightening Powder used for?

This powder is designed to brighten the under-eye area, blur fine lines, and color correct darkness with its subtle pink and lavender undertones. It gives a soft-focus, radiant finish while helping set makeup in place.

Can I use this all over my face or just under the eyes?

Yes, you can use it all over the face especially if you have fair skin or pink undertones. Many customers love it as an all-over setting powder for a subtle brightening effect. However, it truly shines when used under the eyes to brighten and smooth.

Is it translucent?

Yes, the Velvet Brightening Powder is translucent with a soft pink-lavender tint that corrects dark tones. It works on most skin tones and won’t leave a white cast.

What’s the difference between the loose and pressed version?

Both use the same formula and offer the same benefits. The loose version is better for baking or setting larger areas, while the pressed version is ideal for touch-ups and portability.

Will it cause flashback in photos?

No! It's photo-friendly and has been tested under flash. It’s perfect for bridal, studio, and everyday use.

Is it okay for oily skin?

Absolutely. The formula is designed to help control oils and shine for up to 16hrs. For the ultimate oil control we recommend pairing it with a Matte Base Primer and/or setting the remainder of your makeup with the Velvet Finishing Powder.

Can I use this over mineral powder foundation?

Yes, it can be used over any type of foundation, including mineral powders.

Does this replace setting powder or go on after?

It can be used in place of a setting powder or layered on top. If using both, apply setting powder first, then finish with the Velvet Brightening Powder to add brightness.

Is this product scented?

Yes, the Velvet Brightening Powder contains natural Vanillin, which gives it a soft, mild vanilla scent. An unscented version is in development but is not yet available.

Can this cause eye irritation or sensitivity?

It’s formulated to be gentle and non-irritating, but everyone’s skin is different. If you experience any sensitivity, discontinue use and contact us—we’re happy to help.
