Setting powders are lightweight cosmetic products used to lock in makeup and reduce shine. They are typically applied after foundation and concealer to create a smooth, matte finish. By absorbing excess oil, setting powders help makeup last longer throughout the day. These powders come in various formulations, including translucent and tinted options, catering to different skin tones. Some popular types include loose setting powders and pressed powders. Many setting powders also contain ingredients like silica or talc, which help control shine and provide a soft-focus effect on the skin.
