Setting Powder & Setting Spray

Setting powder locks your makeup in place after you've finished applying foundation, concealer, and blush, ensuring it lasts longer. It also absorbs excess oil that can cause shiny patches, softens the look of pores and fine lines, and keeps everything from sliding, creasing or fading throughout the day. Think of it as your makeup’s “insurance policy” that makes every other product last longer.

The right face powder depends on what your skin needs. Choose a blurring formula if pores and texture are your focus, a matte powder like Matte Maker Translucent Setting Powder if you have oily skin, a translucent formula if you want a natural finish that works with any shade, or a color-correcting powder if redness or dullness is your main concern.

For all-over wear, dust a light, even layer across your face with Setting Powder Brush, focusing on any spots that tend to get shiny. For more focused application, use a smaller or tapered brush and press directly on areas you want to perfect, such as under eyes or T-zone.

Loose setting powder is finely milled and great for more targeted applications. Pressed powder is compact and easier to carry, making it better suited for quick touch-ups on the go.

Translucent powder has no added pigment, so it sets makeup without changing your shade or adding coverage. Color-correcting powder is tinted to counteract a specific concern, most often redness. Tinted powder simply adds a hint of color to unify skin tone as it sets. If redness is your main concern, start with a color-correcting formula; if you just want a clean, invisible set, translucent is the safer choice.
