Shop Our Must-Have Loose Setting Powders for an Airbrushed, Flawless Finish
Ready, set, go
Keep your base in place with this complexion essential—we’ve rounded up the best loose setting powders to add to your cart now!
What constitutes the “perfect” base? A great foundation and concealer are a must, for sure, and technique definitely makes a difference. That said, your base is only as good as your finishing step: setting powder. After all, what use is a flawless base if it’s reduced to a greasy mess in just a couple of hours?
For us, nothing beats a loose setting powder. These powders are typically finely-milled and lightweight, which makes them ideal for a smooth, natural-looking finish. These powders may not be touch-up or travel-friendly, but when it comes to sheer setting and baking alike, there’s no competition.
Ahead, find our picks for the best loose setting powders to shop now:
