Complexion powder is a cosmetic product made from the mineral talc and various pigments such as titanium dioxide. It helps set makeup by absorbing excess oils that lead to shine.

It comes in a variety of colors, though it is most commonly found in translucent shades ranging from pinkish-white to yellow. Many brands offer several shades to cater to different skin tones.
