We are all constantly in search of new nifty tricks and the latest it-products to add to our make-up routine. Mai Couture Papier could be the perfect new addition for those looking for practical makeup to apply on-the-go.

The Mai Couture Papiers are similar in appearance to a pad of post-it notes but include powder-infused papers of foundation, blush, highlight and bronzer.

The colour is applied using a similar technique to Blotting Papers which work by removing excess oil from the skin, however with Mai Couture’s Papiers colour is also transferred.

These ‘Papiers’ are not attempting to replace your pre-existing bronzers and highlighters but instead are attempting to provide a portable alternative and to eliminate the necessity of carrying around an array of pallets and brushes in your bag.

A Mai Couture spokesperson described the product as “the quick and chic way to create a flawless base and flash of colour on the go”. The emphasis of this newly launched product is ‘chic practicality’, refining the art of staying made-up with minimum hassle.
