蜜粉


Explanation:

"蜜粉" is very commonly used in Traditional Chinese, referring to very fine, light, and gentle powder. If the term is also accepted in Simplified Chinese, it should work.

Please see the following references:

高光粉饼 or 高光粉底


Explanation:
I agree with Shirley that "蜜粉" is commonly used in Traditional Chinese. I have also found some references in Simplified Chinese, such as "高光粉饼" or "高光粉底". The translations perhaps represent the term "light powder" better.

欢迎各位指教 :)

透薄粉底


Explanation:
light means light-weighted, the powder wouldn't make the face all caked. So I use 透薄.
