New Loose Setting Powders to Try Now

A flawless base isn’t only about foundation and concealer—it’s the finishing touches that ensure everything stays put. That’s where a loose setting powder comes in. Think of it as the invisible layer that keeps make-up intact, softens the look of pores, and diffuses shine without weighing the skin down.

 

What makes loose powders stand out is their airy texture and adaptability. A sheer dusting will subtly fix your foundation in place, while a heavier application can be used to bake, brighten, and extend wear for hours on end. The newest launches take things even further, pairing next-generation blurring technology with skincare-inspired ingredients, so you no longer have to choose between performance and comfort.

Its airy texture mattifies and blurs while still feeling weightless, making it ideal for everything from sweeping across the T-zone to locking in concealer under the eyes.
