Best Face Powders
FROM SETTING POWDER TO POWDER FOUNDATION
If you’ve ever used face powder, you know it just hits differently. Favored for its ability to give skin—especially oily skin—a satiny, matte finish, there are different formulas for every skin concern, and they offer different levels of coverage depending on your daily needs.
Translucent powders control shine and help minimize pores; pressed powders control shine and smooth skin's texture and are primarily used to set makeup in place. Pressed powders are condensed and often come in a compact, whereas loose powders come in a jar. Finishing powder helps control shine and smooth skin’s texture with a hint of color—plus, it acts like a filter to enhance your makeup look.
