Shine-Free? Try These!
Hey there! If your skin leans oily and you're constantly battling shine or makeup that won't stay put, a good loose setting powder can be a game-changer. Not all powders are created the same, especially when you're dealing with acne-prone or combination skin.
After testing out quite a few, here are some favorites that really make a difference in my routine.
1. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder
This one quickly made its way into my top picks. While the pink undertone may look bold at first, it actually brightens the skin beautifully. The formula is smooth, lightweight, and delivers a soft-focus finish that helps blur imperfections.
2. Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder
This was definitely a spontaneous splurge—but one that paid off. It leaves a soft matte finish that still looks radiant, not flat. The powder blends beautifully and has a unique finish that adds a refined touch to your overall look.
3. Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder
Light as air, this powder gives a slight brightening effect while locking in concealer with a smooth finish. It doesn’t feel cakey and plays well with other products. While it’s not my absolute favorite, it’s still a solid option for daily use.
Setting your makeup doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort or glow. These powders help strike the perfect balance between oil control and a natural finish. If you’ve tried any of these or have your own go-to, it’s always fun to compare notes and find new favorites!
