To have a flawless and seamless makeup base, setting powder is a fundamental element where you gently sweep on your face after applying foundation to set the makeup and reduce oil and shine. Setting powders typically come in translucent and are contained in a jar, perfect for taking it on the go.
Beauties with oily and acne-prone skin and like to wear liquid foundation. Setting powders are your excellent weapon against oil and shine, giving you long-lasting and smudge-free face makeup.
How to choose the right setting powder?
To achieve a flawless face makeup finish, choosing the suitable setting powder is crucial. Buying the same foundation and setting powder brand, using the same shades, and knowing your skin type are the ways to select the suitable setting powder.
- Buying the same foundation and setting powder brand
It is the easiest way for the company or manufacturer as they use the same formula to create a seamless look.
- Using the same shades
Choose the same shades for both setting powder and foundation because you would not want to look either ghostly or streaked.
- Knowing your skin type
To avoid causing a cakey and oily look and skin breakouts, know your skin type and choose the right formula.
