about Powders.
A setting powder is the last press that keeps a finished face looking the way it did in the mirror: it soaks up shine, blurs the look of pores and holds your base in place. innisfree's No Sebum powders are made for skin that shines by midday, and the innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder leaves a soft-matte, translucent finish that never looks cakey. For a clean, barely-there finish, the LANEIGE Neo Essential Blurring Finish Powder sets makeup in a thin, transparent, soft-matte blur that feels light.
Loose powder gives the finest finish over a cushion or foundation at home. A pressed compact is the one for your bag: the milktouch All Day Perfect Blurring Fixing Pact tucks in for touch-ups, and its soft pink tone-up blurs pores with no white cast. A light press only where you shine is all these powders need to keep a finished face looking fresh for hours.
questions, answered.
Which Korean setting powder is best for oily skin?
Start with the innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder: mineral salts soak up excess oil and take down shine, and a second light pass refreshes makeup later in the day. If breakouts come with the oil, the innisfree No Sebum AC Powder keeps oil in check on blemish-prone skin with a comfortable, balanced feel. For pores and bumps, the innisfree Pore Blur Powder blurs texture to a silky matte and keeps makeup fresh instead of greasy.
Do I need a setting powder if I wear a cushion?
Only if you get shiny or your base moves. A light press of powder keeps a cushion where you put it and stops makeup gathering in the creases around the nose. Dry and normal skin can usually skip it altogether, or keep powder to the under eye so that concealer does not settle into fine lines.
Translucent or tinted powder?
Translucent sets what is underneath without changing its color, which makes it the safer choice over a base you have already shade matched; the light, clear particles of the innisfree Pore Blur Powder blend in with no white cast. A tinted powder adds a little evening out as it sets, so it suits a light base that needs help: the milktouch All Day Perfect Blurring Fixing Pact sets makeup with a soft pink tone-up that flatters every undertone without turning skin chalky.
Can I use setting powder on dry skin?
Yes, sparingly. Tap the excess off the puff first, then press rather than sweep, and only where you shine or crease. If dryness is your worry, the LANEIGE Neo Essential Blurring Finish Powder is micro-fine and light, with hyaluronic acid inside so makeup finishes soft and comfortable. If the skin looks powdery afterwards, you have used too much.
