If you’re worried about increasing your skin's dryness, it’s important to really be selective with the setting powders you buy. “People with drier skin can opt for setting powders that offer more nourishing ingredients to prevent skin from drying out, and that have a super-fine formula which makes it more lightweight on the skin,” says Quaye. “With dry skin, applying less powder is more, and ensuring that the skin underneath is well moisturized prior to application.” How can you avoid looking too matte or dusty with setting powders? Whether you have oily skin or dry, the less-is-more approach is best. Place your brush or beauty puff in the powder, then tap off the excess. Apply until you achieve the desired finish. Be wary of being too heavy-handed – your brush may look like there’s no product on it, but it’s likely holding more than you can see. Keep in mind that it’s always easier to add rather than remove. Note that those with drier skin should use a large brush to apply a gentle dusting; it will allow for a lighter touch than a puff.

The moist surface of unset foundation attracts grime, leaving it open to contamination from pollution and dirt in the air.

Application is when it gets super fun (and sometimes messy). “I find that the best way to apply a setting powder is with our velour powder puff as it allows you to further break down any powder texture so that when it is pressed into the makeup it becomes one with the skin instead of sitting on top of the foundation which can often happen when using a brush,” Emma shared.
