Loose setting powders are lightweight cosmetic products used to set makeup and control shine. They are typically made from finely milled minerals or silica, which help absorb excess oil and create a smooth finish on the skin. These powders can be applied with a brush or puff, and they come in various shades to match different skin tones. When applied after foundation and concealer, loose setting powders help to prolong the wear of makeup and prevent creasing. They are especially popular for makeup artists and everyday users alike, as they provide a natural, matte look without feeling heavy on the skin.
