Searching for the best setting powder to gift can be challenging. There are hundreds of options on the digital aisles of Amazon, Sephora, and Ulta, but where should you start?
Luckily, we did the hard work and narrowed in on 20 of the best setting powders of all damn time. These products are so good they're worth gifting your loved ones and yourself because we all deserve a little something special in the name of self-care.
How confident are we? Well, our team spent more than a month talking to makeup artists while playing with, applying, sweating in, and testing out some of the most popular setting powders on the market — and we're getting brutally honest about them.
The Best Setting Powders We Tested
- Best Overall: Lawless Forget The Filler Talc-Free Perfecting Powder
- Best Budget: Covergirl Trublend Minerals Loose Powder
- Best Translucent: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
- Best of Celeb Beauty: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder
- Best Viral Brand: ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder
What Is Setting Powder?
Setting powder is a game-changing element of any good complexion makeup base. Not to be confused with a finishing powder that is typically swept on after all other makeup is applied, setting powder is used after foundation to give you and your giftee's base a no-budge hold while reducing shine and oil.
“Setting powder will literally set the makeup to make sure it stays put. They usually come translucent and are a bit heavier,” makeup artist Pamela Faller tells us. “A finishing powder acts as more of a veil and goes on like a light dusting than setting powder to blur any lines to create that seamless finish.”
Whether your giftee prefers a loose powder, in which loose pigments are contained in a jar, or a pressed powder, which is patted down onto a smooth surface, this step is essential to long-wearing, flawless-looking makeup.
Setting Powder Shades
Makeup artist Kenyata Gant of Pink Lipps Cosmetics says setting powder should either match their skin tone or be colorless because if so, the setting powder won’t show a white cast or a flashback after applying it to the face. “It’s OK if it’s not the exact color as the skin tone as long as it’s colorless and brightens the highlighted area of the face,” she says.
According to Gant, a setting powder’s formulation also impacts your giftee's shade match. “Pressed powder can be matched exactly to the skin tone like foundation because it is not known to oxidize, while loose setting powder can only be close to the skin tone or colorless,” she says.
How to Apply Setting Powder
Before we get to testing, let’s talk about application. There are endless ways to apply setting powder, so your giftee can feel free to experiment and find what’s best for them. “You can use a blending sponge like Mehron's Face Smoothie Sponge to pack on the powder, and then use a big fluffy brush to dust off the excess,” Faller explains.
We think that this is the best way to apply it, but you do you! If you're looking for serious staying power, Faller says you can even try adding a layer of powder in between primer and foundation.
How We Tested
There are tons of setting powders on the market, so we focused on some of the most popular setting powders we've seen discussed online and by experts and celebs alike. When testing these setting powders, one of the most important points for us was how well they work on a variety of skin tones, so we gathered a diverse group of team members to try out these powders.
Other factors that came into play while we were testing to discover the best setting powder on the market:
- How well does it set makeup?
- How long do its effects last?
- Does it make your makeup water- and/or sweatproof?
- Does it cause a flashback or white cast?
- Is it worth the price?
Now check out our full reviews to discover which of the best setting powders is right for you and your giftee.
Our Full Setting Powder Reviews
LAWLESS Forget The Filler Talc-Free Perfecting Powder
LAWLESS Forget The Filler Talc-Free Perfecting Powder
Best For: award-winning coverage
I can't get enough of this epic setting powder. I'm so enamored with it that I bestowed Forget The Filler with a seal of approval for our first-ever Best New Beauty Awards package.
Set it and forget it with this ultra-fine smoothing pressed powder that looks like your skin but better. Unlike most face powders, this Lawless version doesn't settle into my pores or fine lines. As its name implies, Perfecting Powder uses a silky pigment with a soft-focus effect that helps blur skin imperfections.
You'll get an airbrushed look and it layers beautifully over foundation or across a bare moisturized face. I have tested this powder throughout the year, including during hot and humid summers and brutal winters along the East Coast. In the summertime, it kept me relatively matte after concerts, and during colder months, I noticed it performs equally as well. I appreciate that it doesn’t pill, which is more common for me in the winter when my skin becomes drier and flakier.
Plus, this gift-worthy product is infused with science-backed skincare-quality ingredients, such as kaolin clay to mattify oily skin. As a bonus, the pressed compact comes with a hidden makeup sponge for mess-free touch-ups on the go.
Covergirl Trublend Minerals Loose Powder
Covergirl Trublend Minerals Loose Powder
Best For: normal-to-oily skin types
Senior parenting editor, Cat Bowen says the loose powder formula feels great and similar to her usual go-to, the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder. She also notes that this formula blends out and brushes off with ease, making it a great pick for baking your complexion products.
“The puff that’s included is super soft, feeling like freshly shorn lambswool,” she adds.
However, she did have a few mishaps with this setting powder. She says that this powder oxidized on her skin, leaving an orange hue that made her look like “an Oompa Loompa that had a bad mid-aughts tanning experience.” Considering that she used her usual (and pricier) makeup products during testing, she knew the outlier to this issue was, unfortunately, this setting powder.
A few other issues Bowen had with this: It highlighted the fine lines and wrinkles on her face, and she wasn’t so fond of the strong smell. Overall, she’d rate this product a 5/10 — but given its affordable price point, non-cakey finish, and easy application with the included powder puff, it’s worth at least trying, especially if you’re on a budget.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Best For: all skin types and skin tones
Chances are your giftee probably owned this setting powder at least once in their life, and Daisy Hernandez, tester and former news editor for Runner's World, Bicycling, and Popular Mechanics, says they should definitely stock up on it again. There’s a reason why she gives this a “10/10” rating and believes it to be among the best setting powders: She notes that it instantly locks your makeup in place for hours on end, sans smudging or oiliness.
“I highly recommend this setting powder to anyone who wants something that provides all-day matte coverage without appearing thick and settled into pores,” she says. “I also love how light the powder feels the entire time it’s on my face, all the while preventing cakiness.”
Though the setting powder didn't waterproof her makeup, she says it did a great job of mattifying her pores. She also notes that this powder steers clear of any flashback or white cast, as long as your giftee is not caking the powder on.
“With this setting powder, a little goes a long way — a huge plus since the $47 price tag isn’t the most affordable, but it is well worth it since it’ll last you a long time,” she says. “I used the setting powder in ‘Translucent,’ which was a good match for my fair/medium undertone, but there are two more colors for those with deeper tones.”
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder
Best for: all skin types, including oily and combination
No one will ever forget that, during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Rihanna applied her Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder to her cheeks to blur the look of pores and absorb shine on the world stage.
Your gift recipient will become enamored with this setting powder because it prolongs makeup, minimizes the look of pores, and the baby pink hue ensures it's invisible on all skin tones. I believe Rihanna created another hit that’s worthy of your hard-earned money. Chia seed extract leaves a natural matte finish, while sodium hyaluronate ensures the skin doesn't feel dry.
COVER FX Perfect Setting Powder
COVER FX Perfect Setting Powder
Best For: oily skin types; darker skin tones
Our former senior food and drink editor, Danielle St. Pierre, says this setting powder works “almost too well!” She notes that this particular setting powder has a great hold and keeps her makeup on for 8-plus hours, and even takes a little more muscle power to wash off at the end of her day.
She also says that the Cover Fx setting powder kept her face mattified and oil-free the entire day, making this an amazing pick for those of us who get a little too oily by the middle to end of the day.
But one issue she does have with this formula is that it isn’t truly transparent. The “light” hue is a tad warmer than her naturally fair skin tone, and she couldn’t find the best match for her shade.
At $35, St. Pierre thinks this setting powder's price is reasonable, considering how effective the formula is at setting makeup, especially if you wear a fully beat face on a regular basis.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Tinted Loose Setting Powder in Light-Medium
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Tinted Loose Setting Powder in Light-Medium
Best For: lighter skin tones; normal-to-dry skin types
Courtney Linder, tester and deputy editor of Popular Mechanics, says this drugstore pick actually does what it claims. Its inexpensive price tag and large size are definitely a bonus for all bargain shoppers, Linder says, but its formula is actually pretty impressive for an under $20 option.
“The L’Oréal Infallible Loose Setting Powder really does live up to its name. When I use blush, for instance, it normally tends to fade really quickly throughout the day, leaving my skin kind of sickly pale-looking from whatever foundation I’m wearing. This setting powder helped to keep my blush intact all day, which kept the warmth in my face for far more than my usual few hours,” she says. “I also like the way that the powder helped to set my eyebrows. I used a fluffy powder brush to sweep over my brows — which I filled in with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz — and the color saturation stayed intact all day. That's really saying something, considering I have nearly invisible auburn eyebrows. As for foundation, it stayed in place well, too."
Though the shade she tried, shade 612/Translucent Light-Medium, did cause a slight flashback (that white cast that can show up under your eyes, jaw, and forehead in photos), she says that this setting powder is great for regular daywear and doesn't cause a white cast on her skin tone. However, she does note that deeper skin tones may want to opt for another shade.
Linder noted that this setting powder's mattifying effects don't necessarily last for long, and lasted for 90 minutes before having a greasy feel on her T-zone and sides of her nose, so she recommends taking it with you to reapply throughout the day, especially if your skin is on the oilier side of the complexion spectrum.
One/Size by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder
One/Size by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder
Best for: normal, combination, acne-prone, and oily skin
Next up from my beauty wardrobe is the ONE/SIZE Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder. It’s the brainchild of internet beauty guru Patrick Starrr, who created this product with oily skin girlies in mind. The superfine powders feel weightless on my skin and provide a natural soft-matte finish, lasting up to 14 hours a day. Yes, even during the humid summer season. It’s buildable if your giftee needs more intense coverage, but regardless of how little or much product they use, it helps blur the look of pores.
Currently, it's available in two universally flattering colors: Translucent, for fair to medium-dark complexions, and dark deep, which complements the warmer undertones in dark and dark-deep skin tones.
I am also a fan of the aesthetically pleasing packaging that features a double lid and clicks in place to avoid wasting precious setting powder. And since it comes in two sizes, including a mini option, it's ideal for traveling or storing in office drawers for pre-happy hour touch-ups.
Glossier Wowder Finishing Powder
Glossier Wowder Finishing Powder
Best For: all skin tones; all skin types
Don't let the name fool your giftee: Yes, technically, this is a finishing powder, but it can also be used as a setting powder. St. Pierre used the shade "G8-G10 Light/Medium" in this powder, and she was quite impressed by how well it matched her natural tone.
Though this particular setting powder offers great shade matching, it did fall a little flat when it came to actually setting makeup.
“This setting powder was so subtle that I felt I had to apply multiple layers with my kabuki brush to actually notice any mattifying effect,” St. Pierre says. “It does set makeup, but this wouldn’t be my go-to to set a full face of makeup for a night out since it’s quite minimal.”
She further explains that the powder's setting power lasts about 3-4 hours, so your giftee will want to pack it with you if you're stepping out. But overall, she thinks it's worth its $22 price tag if you're a makeup minimalist.
PAT McGRATH LABS Sublime Perfection Setting Powder
PAT McGRATH LABS Sublime Perfection Setting Powder
Best For: all skin tones; all skin types
This tinted setting powder is one of former beauty editor Jennifer Hussein's favorites, but she does notes it works best with the PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation. However, that doesn't mean that its performance falls flat with other foundations: Hussein loves using this setting powder when she's wearing a full face to lock in her complexion products.
“Before I dive into my love for this setting powder, I do have to say that I’m a very dedicated Pat McGrath Labs fan,” she says. “This setting powder lives up to the hype: It’s super lightweight, it smooths out my skin, and it’s breathable. Plus, I love that there are more than two shades to choose from.”Hussein likes that this setting powder has a "cushiony" feel to it and that its ultra finely milled finish makes it extremely easy to blend out.
She's tried it out with her go-to Gucci foundation, and she says it locks it in perfectly, but it does require a little touch-up after approximately 6 hours of wear. And if you're worried about flashback or white cast, don't be: Although it's tinted, this formula stays completely sheer throughout the day.
Though it is pricey and comes with less product than other setting powders (it has 5 grams’ worth of setting powder, whereas most brands have 9-12 grams), she does note that a little goes a long way with this formula.
mented cosmetics Skin Silk Loose Setting Powder
mented cosmetics Skin Silk Loose Setting Powder
Best For: normal-to-oily skin types; anyone looking for a fragrance-free formula
This finely milled powder sits lightly on the recipient's skin and feels as soft as a cloud, making your skin feel as soft and supple as ever, even with makeup on, according to Hussein. This powder is great if you’re wearing a light amount of makeup, she says. “It’s very light, and a little can go a long way, but it can pill if you’re wearing heavier amounts of makeup.”
This pick also lasts for about 4-5 hours before needing to reapply, which is another reason why Hussein recommends using it for lighter makeup days. It gets bonus points for its three shades that actually work on a variety of skin tones.
She definitely recommends it for people who have minimal makeup routines, but those with a heavier makeup routine may want to opt for a stronger setting powder.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake and Snatch Pressed Talc-Free Brightening and Setting Powder
Huda Beauty Easy Bake and Snatch Pressed Talc-Free Brightening and Setting Powder
Best For: medium-to-full coverage; anyone who wants to bake and set
Meet the latest TikTok-viral beauty essential that actually is among the best setting powders around today. The loose setting powder is so popular that it's hard to get ahold of, but thankfully they brought the same skin-perfecting magic into powder form. This innovative setting powder is the creation of beauty guru, YouTube star, and Kayali founder Huda Kattan, who is considered the queen of maximalist makeup.
It's the smoothest powder on this list — and does an excellent job at blurring and diffusing my enlarged pores. Typically, oils become visible in my T-Zone within an hour, but my oily skin remains matte whenever. I adore this epic setting powder. I use Banana Bread, which uses yellow pigments to brighten my eye area. Surprisingly, I don't look like a ghost when I bake my undereye concealer. Huda's a genius, and this multipurpose powder is a must-have from the first use.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Evolution Setting Powder
Danessa Myricks Beauty Evolution Setting Powder
Best For: oily skin types; all skin tones
This is another favorite of Hussein's, especially if your giftee wears heavier makeup. She says this setting powder is especially great if your makeup creates an oily sheen on your skin.
“If your skin is on the oilier side, then you absolutely need this setting powder, stat,” she says. “Danessa Myricks Beauty is such an underrated brand, and their products work absolute wonders, including this setting powder. On top of a no-budge hold that could last for days at a time, this one acts completely translucent, lightweight, and makes your complexion products feel like actual skin.”
There are a whopping seven shades of this setting powder to choose from, making it the most diverse in shade ranges on this list.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
Best For: dry-to-normal skin types; anyone looking for a fragrance-free formula
This pressed formula is a favorite of Bowen, who admits she was initially worried about using this powder without a puff. “Growing up in the late ’90s and early ’00s, Maybelline’s pressed translucent powder with the puff was basically an essential item in my purse,” she says. But Bowen realized that pressed formulas have significantly improved since the early aughts and notes that this powder's ability to smooth skin without settling into her crow’s feet and fine lines is incredibly impressive.
I, too, have been loyal to this pressed powder for several years and its fragrance-free formula, lightweight feel, and ability to smooth skin are major wins. It also does a solid job of controlling oil, though I have to touch up my oily skin every few hours during the summer months. Sure, the nourishing blend of rose wax and almond oil is a welcome inclusion. But my favorite part of this setting powder is that it is infused with light-reflecting pearls that create a soft, diffused effect on my complexion. My pores look smaller and other skin imperfections are blurred whenever I dust this magical powder across my face.
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Bio-Blurring Talc-Free Loose Setting Powder Translucent
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Bio-Blurring Talc-Free Loose Setting Powder Translucent
Best For: light coverage safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin
Who doesn't love Lady Gaga's music and makeup? The pop artist and certified fashion and beauty innovator created a clean beauty line sold at Sephora — and her setting powder is the crown jewel of her lineup.
I love that it's made with plant-based ingredients, like fermented arnica, to help minimize redness and irritation, making it a must-have product for sensitive skin, like those who have rosacea, eczema, or don't own a Canopy humidifier to calm irritated skin caused by their radiator. The addition of plant-based squalane is impressive because it helps boost skin hydration which is super helpful during bulstery spring weather. It's also more finely milled compared to the One/Size loose setting powder.
Unlike other setting powders out there, this one doesn't have any ingredients that inspire new acne to take over. It's gentle on sensitive skin and should be a part of anyone's arsenal if they have textured skin.
Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Matte Translucent Setting Powder
Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Matte Translucent Setting Powder
Best For: natural ingredients safe for fair to deep complexions
I'm obsessed with all things Milk Makeup, including the brand's face primers, mascara, contour sticks, and now this setting powder. My oily skin is mattified, but in the most natural way, like I have unproblematic skin as an adult. During the winter months when my skin becomes drier, it looks healthier when I apply this setting powder. The combo of derm-loved bakuchiol and niacinamide ensures my skin texture is less obvious, microspheres create a soft-focused, IRL filter effect to blur pores, and lentil extract absorbs oil and minimizes shine.
La Mer The Powder
La Mer The Powder
Best For: dry skin types; sensitive skin
If your giftee's skin tends to feel dry and irritated with makeup on, then trust us — they need to be gifted this setting powder. Yes, it is expensive AF, but if you have some wiggle room in your budget, then Hussein says you should definitely make the investment if their skin is on the drier side.
“It has a cooling sensation to it the minute it’s applied, almost like a tall glass of water for your skin,” says Hussein. “It leaves your skin feeling velvety-smooth even with tons of foundation and concealer on, and it really locks in your makeup while giving it a slightly dewier (not greasy!) finish.”
We love that it's infused with luxe ingredients you wouldn't normally find in makeup, including the brand's iconic Miracle Broth, a proprietary blend of fermented sea kelp, minerals, vitamins, and lime extract. This featherlight setting powder also diffuses light for a HD-finish IRL and contains air-spun seaborne particles for a non-cakey feel.
However, they will have to reapply this setting powder after about 4 hours of wear, which does bug us a little since this product is almost $100.
Bobbi Brown Finish Loose Setting Powder
Bobbi Brown Finish Loose Setting Powder
Best For: all skin tones; all skin types
Lakota Gambill, tester and former photographer at Hearst Magazines, says that this setting powder truly does it all. She noted that this setting powder keeps makeup on "like glue" yet still gives the skin a natural look and feel.
“The second I put a little bit on, I could feel it smoothing out and creating almost a locked layer for my foundation and blush,” she says. “Though not in a cakey way — honestly, it just felt light and natural.”
On top of being totally transparent on her skin, Gambill was also surprised by how well this setting powder held her makeup during a particularly sweaty day of moving into her new home and says that it made her makeup look freshly applied through the strenuous 8-plus-hour ordeal.
Sheer Finish Loose Powder is one of the pricier products on this list, but Gambill thinks it's worth every penny for its smudge-free hold, sweatproof formula, and natural finish.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Setting Powder
Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Setting Powder
Best for: Oily skin and a natural finish
Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Setting Powder is the newest addition to my beauty arsenal. Eyebrow queen Anatasia Saroe created a next-level setting powder that minimizes shine and feels like air on the skin, I honestly forget I’m wearing it most of the time. Since it’s available in five shades, I can customize my finish. I like to apply Banana, a pale yellow, on areas of my face that need brightening, like my under eyes, and dust on Translucent to set my face. I could also use Deep Peach on my face during the summer months when I have a tan.
Your giftee will also appreciate the ABH setting powder doesn't leave them looking like a ghost or cause flashback in photos. It's one of the best setting powders out there for preventing makeup from creasing, so no setting spray is necessary.
beautyblender Bounce Soft Focus Gemstone Setting Powder
beautyblender Bounce Soft Focus Gemstone Setting Powder
Best For: all skin types; anyone looking for a blurred appearance
I like reaching for this setting powder whenever I need to be on camera. It's the closest thing I can get to a beauty filter IRL. My pores look noticeably smaller whenever I wear this powder, and it's pigmented enough to add just the right amount of additional coverage over my Charlotte Tilbury and Armani Luminous Silk foundations.
On light makeup days, I like to dust on this setting powder with one of my fluffy makeup brushes. I love that it's made with easy-to-pronounce ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid to keep my oily skin well-balanced and freshwater pearl extract, which adds a gorgeous, skin-like radiance to my face.
I wear the color Topaz but anyone can rock Canary for a brightening effect. The light yellow tinted setting powder is excellent for highlighting and baking dark undereye circles and the T-Zone (forehead, bridge of the nose, and chin). After you swipe on concealer, use a fluffy brush or makeup sponge like the Beautyblender to apply Canary, and after a few minutes, dust away excess product. Following this technique will help highlight your features and ensure your makeup lasts all day.
MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder
MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder
Best For: all skin types; lighter skin tones
Unlike most of the setting powders on this list, this pick is not tinted, which St. Pierre says creates a truly transparent and “chameleon-like” finish to her makeup. She also notes that this setting powder has an extremely impressive 8-plus-hour hold that keeps makeup looking and feeling fresh the entire day.
“This setting powder did a thorough job of setting my makeup (tinted moisturizer/serum plus concealer) and reducing oil, especially in my T-zone and forehead, throughout a full sweaty day of moving into my new apartment,” she says. “The effects lasted for a full 8-hour workday in humid and rainy weather, which is a serious feat.”
Another bonus: St. Pierre says this setting powder creates a soft, matte, and even finish. However, she does note that this pick may cause flashback and white cast on deeper skin tones due to its original white hue. So, is it worth the $30 price tag? Though it is a bit smaller and steeper in price than other formulas, St. Pierre gives this pick her seal of approval and says it's worth gifting.
bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder
bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder
Best For: sensitive skin types; lighter skin tones
Though Gambill says that this setting powder does need some reapplication every 6-7 hours, she notes that this setting powder is especially great for sensitive skin types.“I definitely favored the ingredients of this more so than the Bobbi Brown setting powder,” she says. “While I love Bobbi Brown, I noticed that it made my sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin a little irritated, and I didn’t see that as much with this one!”
Gambill also notes that this setting powder leaves a slight white cast on her skin, but says it isn’t terribly noticeable. “As a note, I’m Native American, so I naturally have a darker complexion,” she says. “I believe for someone with lighter features, it may blend a tad bit easier. It wasn’t terrible, but it was noticeable here and there.”Overall, she says it's worth the $27 price tag if your giftee has sensitive and easily irritable skin.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
Best For: all skin types; anyone with acne or wrinkles
Before I discovered Bounce Soft Focus, this was my ride-or-die setting powder. It ticks all of the check marks I look for in a face powder: An undetectable translucent finish that controls shine and oil, as well as a non-comedogenic formula that won't congest my pores and cause acne."
What I love most about this finely milled powder is that it’s infused with soft-focus, light-reflecting particles. Bounce is best for anyone who wants to add light coverage to their skin, while Veil is ideal for a truly invisible finish. And despite its white color, I promise it works across a diverse array of skin tones and won’t cause an embarrassing flashback when you’re snapping selfies or filming TikToks.
Plus, the chic gold-tone packaging is a 10/10 and provides an ultra-luxe look and feel.
