Setting FAQs
What does setting powder do?
Setting powder is designed to set your makeup, control shine, and provide a matte finish. It helps prevent your makeup from sliding, smudging, or creasing throughout the day by absorbing excess oil and moisture. Setting powder can also minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, creating a smoother complexion.
How to apply setting powder?
To apply setting powder, use a makeup brush or sponge to pick up a small amount of the powder. Tap off any excess, and then gently press or sweep the powder over your face, concentrating on areas that tend to get oily, like the T-zone. Be sure to blend it evenly and avoid applying too much product to prevent a heavy or cakey look.
Where to put setting powder?
Setting powder should be applied to areas where you want to set your makeup and control shine. Common areas include the forehead, nose, chin (the T-zone), and under the eyes. However, you can also use setting powder on the rest of your face if desired, though you should focus on the oily areas to maintain a matte finish throughout the day.
What is the difference between Secret Brightening Powder and Translucent Loose Setting Powder?
Secret Brightening Color Correcting Under Eye Powder is specifically designed to set concealer and brighten the under-eye area with light-reflecting pigments. It smooths, color corrects, and prevents creasing.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a full-face setting powder that blurs pores, controls shine for 24+ hours, and locks in makeup with a natural-matte finish.
What is setting spray?
Setting spray is a product formulated to set makeup and enhance its longevity. It is typically housed in a spray bottle and contains ingredients that can help hold your makeup in place. Setting sprays come in various formulations, including matte, dewy, and hydrating.
Which setting powder should I use for my skin type?
Secret Brightening Color Correcting Under Eye Powder: Great for all skin types; best for under eyes.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder: Ideal for normal to oily skin.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur: Best for normal to dry skin and those who want a soft-matte, blurred finish with 16HR hydration.
How to use setting spray?
Using setting spray is simple. After completing your makeup routine, hold the setting spray bottle about 10-12 inches away from your face. Close your eyes and mouth, and then mist the spray evenly over your face in a gentle, sweeping motion. Allow it to air dry naturally. Some people prefer to spritz the spray onto a makeup sponge or brush and lightly press it onto their skin for more controlled application.
When to use setting spray?
You should use setting spray as the final step in your makeup routine. After applying your foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, blush, and any other makeup products, finish with setting spray to lock everything in place. You can also use setting spray as a refreshing midday touch-up to revive your makeup.
What does setting spray do?
Setting spray is designed to help your makeup last longer and stay in place throughout the day. It works by creating a thin, protective barrier on your skin that helps seal in your makeup, preventing it from smudging, fading, or melting due to factors like heat, humidity, or natural skin oils. Setting sprays can also help reduce the powdery or cakey appearance of makeup, giving your skin a more natural and dewy finish.
Will the powders flash back in photos?
Nope! All our setting powders are photo-friendly, meaning they won’t cause flashback or white cast in flash photography—just naturally flawless skin.
