What is Natural Finishing Powder?
Natural finishing powder, also known as "setting powder," is a type of powder applied after your foundation and/or concealer to set your makeup and help it last longer. It helps "set" the foundation and concealer (hence the name "setting powder"), preventing them from settling into fine lines or slipping off your face. Additionally, it provides a matte finish, making it ideal for oily or combination skin by reducing excess oil and shine. This product comes in both translucent and tinted versions and can be found in loose powder or compact form.
Best setting powder for my skin
The choice of the best setting powder depends on your skin type. If you have dry skin, it’s best to choose a powder that offers some hydration or a lightweight, translucent formula. For oily skin, oil-absorbing powders are ideal. A great option is the Corn Setting Powder by Ere Perez. For combination skin, you can opt for a powder that balances without being too matte or too shiny.
If you’re looking for more coverage, a setting powder with a neutral tint is a good option. If you just want to use the powder to set your makeup, go for a translucent powder that adjusts to any skin tone.
When choosing your setting powder, also pay attention to the ingredients. Avoid powders with ingredients that could irritate or clog your skin. Opt for powders with skincare benefits, preferably a natural finishing powder that is less harmful. Brands like Ere Perez, Inika and Raww are definitely worth considering.One thing is certain: once you incorporate a translucent setting powder, setting powder, or powder foundation into your routine, you'll never look back!
