Though the terms “finishing powder” and “setting powder” are often used reciprocally, they are actually two quite different products. While setting powders are placed directly on top of skin to set makeup, finishing powders are placed on top of setting powders to further perfect and soften the complexion.

They’re great for events where you’ll be photographed a lot or for special occasions where you’re looking to achieve a flawless finish. Before we get started on the different types of powders, it should be noted that words like “finishing” and “setting” can sometimes be used interchangeably among different brands. We know this can be perplexing, so when in doubt, give our Customer Care team a call—they’ll be able to point you in the right direction. What is Setting Powder?

This lightweight, color-free formula helps to absorb excess oil, creating a truly matte, shine-free appearance.

To avoid a cakey look, use a fluffy brush, like the jane iredale Rose Gold Kabuki Brush, to disperse powder evenly. We also like jane iredale Amazing Matte Loose Finishing Powder, a long-lasting formula that’s perfect for wearing under or over any type of foundation.
