Setting Powder

Setting powder does exactly what it’s named for–it sets your makeup in place. After you’ve applied liquid foundation, concealer, a creamy bronzer and a highlighter stick, you need some form of powder to set everything in its place otherwise the natural oils in your skin may lead to smudged makeup. Luckily, our finishing powder won't’ let that happen.

Because our talc free setting powder is made with natural minerals, it’s weightless, absorbs any excess oils, and won’t settle into any fine lines. Instead, you can expect an airbrushed finish when you layer our translucent powder on top of your foundation makeup. We promise–you’ll love the results.

Unlike foundations or concealers, finishing powders aren’t meant to add any extra coverage. Instead, they’re formulated to soak up oils and blur any imperfections. Because of this, setting powders are often loose and translucent so you can easily sweep it all across your face. However, if you want more precise application, we recommend a pressed powder with a sponge under the eye or around the nose.

To apply loose setting powder, lightly dust the powder across your T-zone, cheeks or all over your face with a fluffy brush. This also works for applying pressed powder all over the face. For targeted application or touch ups using pressed powder, use the included puff to lightly press into the powder then gently press and roll onto areas where desired. These techniques help set your makeup and control shine.

Setting powder, like bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder, helps to set and lock in your makeup, providing a smoother appearance while reducing shine. It also helps makeup last longer throughout the day.

Use setting powder after applying your foundation and concealer to set your makeup. It's especially useful when you want to control shine and ensure a long-lasting, flawless look.

Setting powder, such as bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder, is used to set makeup, reduce shine, and create a smooth finish. It helps keep your makeup in place throughout the day.

Apply setting powder to the areas where you want to set your makeup and control shine. Focus on areas prone to oiliness, such as the T-zone, for a matte finish. The bareMinerals Mineral Veil can be applied all over the face for a soft, airbrushed effect.
