Long-wearing foundation will give you a leg-up in creating lasting look, but if you want to go all the way, you better break out some powder to set that foundation! My favorite setting powder of the moment is MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural.
Baked to perfection, this super silky fine powder leaves my skin looking velvety and smooth. Unlike other mineral powders, this doesn’t leave a sheen on the skin–instead it imparts a creamy matte finish. It never looks cakey and doesn’t ever change colors or end up streaky after hours of wear. This powder isn’t heavy, but I do find I can wear less foundation, and a dusting of this powder will disguise any lingering imperfections. For areas where I want extra coverage, like under the eyes or a blemish, I employ my trusty MAC 227 brush for concentrated application.
If you decide to give this powder a try, be sure to get your shade matched first! These powders seem to run on the lighter side (for reference, I’m an NC20 and I use Medium).
