Matcha has become all the rage over the past year, with the likes of Blank Street bringing out delicious flavours like Iced Blueberry and Salted Pistachio. <\/p>\n

And now the beauty industry has jumped aboard the trending train to create its own skincare and infused fragrances.<\/p>\n

Think: PHLUR\u2019s Matcha Milk Hair and Body Mist, Laneige\u2019s Matcha Bubble Tea Lip Mask and REHAB\u2019s Matcha Scalp Serum.<\/p>\n

Now something new is coming, and it\u2019s from one of many beauty lovers’ favourite brands, Huda Beauty<\/a>. Let us introduce you to Easy Bake Matcha Milk Cake.<\/p>\n

The anticipated launch will be on the 12th March, but we got our hands on it early to give Metro readers an exclusive look at what’s to come.<\/p>\n

Huda Beauty\u2019s bestselling Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder<\/a> has been given a limited-edition upgrade that will correct and reduce redness whilst brightening the complexion, adding to its already six shades.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"The<\/a>\t<\/div>

The specially developed two-in-one powder<\/a> is formulated with all the goodness of their already admired setting power, which delivers a flawless, soft, pore-blurring finish that will last up to 18 hours.<\/p>\n

This new version, however, boasts a green (yes, green) matcha-like colour that corrects, evens out the skin and neutralises redness.<\/p>\n

It is best suited to fair to medium skin tones partial to redness, rosacea and flushing.<\/p>\n

I decided to put the green powder the test to see whether it\u2019s worth the investment. Spoiler, it will become yours and your makeup bag\u2019s new best friend.<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed upon opening is the gorgeous, sweet scent of the powder. This scent automatically gave the powder a more luxe edge.<\/p>\n

Unlike other loose powders, you don\u2019t have to carefully tip this powder outinto the lid before dipping in your brush or sponge. Instead, this Huda powder is equipped with a netting coverage that stretches as you push down, covering your applicator with the perfect, even amount of powder.<\/p>\n

When first applying, I had to check if there was anything on my powder puff, as it goes on to the skin so lightly it was like nothing was there. However, once I stepped away and applied it, I could see the brightening and blurring effect immediately getting to work.<\/p>\n

Matte and poreless: The powder made my skin smooth and perfected – with no trace of green (Picture: Scott Da-Silva Wells)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My undereyes looked far more awake, my pores were minimised – nearly vanishing – and any shine was removed. In truth, it left my overall complexion looking more seamless and smooth. <\/p>\n

I went about my day putting the powder to the test, and after applying it at 8 AM and not taking it off until 11 PM, I can honestly say my makeup stood the test.<\/p>\n

From battling the wind and sitting on a hot tube to getting my daily steps in, my makeup didn\u2019t budge.<\/p>\n

Another element that I loved about this product is that it leaves no white cast or reflection when using the flash on the camera. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all had those instances when we\u2019ve taken a selfie with friends and the image shows flashback-white undereyes from where you\u2019ve placed your powder. Thankfully, this is not a worry with the Huda powder.<\/p>\n

It has been a while since I\u2019ve had a setting powder that transformed my makeup like Huda Beauty\u2019s brand new Easy Bake Matcha Milk Cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n
