What Does Setting Powder Do?
Setting powders overall role is to enhance your makeup and lock it in place.
It’s often buildable and great for smoothening the texture of your makeup.
Milled setting powder stands alone when it comes to texture.
“Milled setting powder is a finer grain that blurs texture and fine lines better.
It’s a finer particle, so it can really get into lines and wrinkles,” Eckels says.
Meanwhile, pressed powder mostly controls shine in targeted areas.
“Pressed powder is your touch-up powder,” Eckels says.
Reneau says it can also give you fuller coverage than milled or loose powder.
“When applied, translucent setting powder provides a sheer and natural finish,” Reneau says.
Colored setting powder also provides a natural finish but often provides additional coverage.
Skin-toned setting powders can serve multiple purposes.
“I prefer to use the Veil Powder Brush from Hourglass,” Eckels says.
Setting powder is incredibly easy to use.
