It’s the only loose powder that sets my makeup without making it look dry. It blurs and keeps me matte but still natural. I’ve repurchased it at least 3 times.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Bronzer
It’s the perfect neutral tone—not too orange, not too muddy. Super easy to blend and lasts all day. I even use it as eyeshadow sometimes when I’m in a rush.

Sharp wing? No problem. It glides on like a dream and literally doesn’t move. Survives heat, sweat, and even tears (tested and confirmed).
