As a self-proclaimed shiny-skinned gal, I consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to setting powders.

I’ve dipped my brush in both loose and pressed powders, and there are benefits to both.

I prefer loose powder for setting my makeup at the start of the day (I use mine with a damp beauty blender in press and roll motions to set my under-eye area and T-zone) and sub in pressed powder for all-over touch-ups when shine hits.

Scroll through my picks of tried-and-tested translucent setting powders to see which one is right for you.
