Whether you use foundation, tinted, or waterproof cosmetics, setting powders are a lifesaver that keep your makeup looking fresh for longer. Setting powders, often known as the topcoat of makeup, are superior to single-purpose cosmetic sprays because they both set makeup and absorb excess oil or perspiration.
Most liquid foundations do not set without setting powders, which are essential in hot and humid weather when the makeup is up against external stressors and sweat.
This article will explore the five best setting powders to help tackle shine and sweat and keep your makeup in place.
