Sisley Paris Phyto‑Teint Poudre Libre (Shade 2): Silk-Skin, All Day

If you’re searching for a loose powder that doesn’t just set your makeup but cares for your skin, the Sisley Paris Phyto‑Teint Poudre Libre in shade 2 (Translucent) is a serious contender. It’s more than a powder—it’s an ultra-light finish that blends performance and skincare beautifully.

What Makes It Special

Unlike many loose powders that can feel drying or chalky, Sisley’s version is infused with their Ideal Skin Complex. This trio of botanical extracts (cucumber extract + glyco‑complex, green lentil, and buckwheat‑peach blossom) works behind the scenes to hydrate, smooth, and refine your skin.

Thanks to a clever micro-emulsion technology, Sisley is able to deliver hydration in a powder format—micro-droplets carry the skin-active ingredients deeper for long-lasting moisture. Over time, skin feels plumper, pores look less visible, and texture improves.

How It Looks & Feels on Skin

Shade 2, “Translucent / Beige,” is designed to mattify the skin without flattening it. According to Sisley, the finish is natural and airy, not overly powdery. It helps blur imperfections and control shine, especially in the T-zone. Plus, the texture is silky and delicate—use a powder puff for full-face application or a soft brush for lighter coverage.

How It Fits Into A Routine

I love using this powder after applying my foundation or tinted moisturizer. A quick tap across the forehead, nose, and chin keeps my makeup in place all day, without a heavy “cake” feeling. On more humid days, it’s my go-to for shine control. On dry or cold days, the hydrating aspect feels like a little skin treat.

My Verdict

If you want a loose powder that’s as much skincare as it is makeup, this is one of the best. Shade 2 (Translucent) gives a soft matte effect, but doesn’t sacrifice comfort or skin health. It’s an elegant choice for anyone who cares about skin texture, hydration, and a refined, natural finish.
