base · layer weight 2

Mineral powder base

Buildable powder coverage with oil control.

Layer weight · A film is one continuous layer sitting on the skin. Layer weight is the 0–3 opacity this object adds.

The catalog behind every score on this desk is editorial estimate on a published scale, not laboratory measurement. The scale says what each number is supposed to mean and names an object holding each level, so a figure can be argued with — but no figure here was measured, and none carries a citation. The scale is published in full.
