"mister mascara" Japanese Rice Powder - Natural £5.00 Mister Mascara says... Louder than powder It's almost worth it for the box alone, it's so beautiful. But it's a pretty useful product too. You'll find a block of rice powder (a kind of face powder to you and me) which is great for setting your foundation or getting rid of shiny nose syndrome. Don't be deceived by the colour of the powder. It looks completely natural once on the skin' 1-1131-0 (Text on sticker on the outside of sealed pack)
