Shine where?

We love having a hot girl summer, but with heat comes sweat and shine. We’re skipping those this season with these powders.

Summer is the perfect time for us to have fun in the sun, and look good doing it. Whether you’ll be out partying with your besties or chilling under clear skies, having a beat that’s just right is the cherry on top. The problem? The heat will get to you and your mug. With this weather, we know the struggle of looking shiny (and not the good kind). Unless you love dewy makeup or layer on highlighter, being shiny isn’t the direction we usually go for with our makeup this season.

All that time and effort we spend blending shouldn’t go to waste, so it only makes sense that we’d want to keep it locked in and looking matte. And for that, a good powder will do just the trick. With these setting powders, your makeup will definitely stay and slay. 

INNISFREE – NO-SEBUM MINERAL POWDER

K-beauty is a force to be reckoned with, as many brands have given us products that have become faves in our beauty routine. For Innisfree, they delivered when they dropped their No-Sebum Mineral Powder. Coming in both pressed and loose powder form, this finely milled powder has a Jeju-mineral infused formula, giving your base that air-brushed look. And for that cherry on top, with Innisfree’s collaboration collection with Sanrio, you can now get the powder in packaging that features Cinnamoroll. 

ISSY AND CO. – MAKEUP FIXING POWDER

Issy and Co. has been the makeup brand that the beauty it girls are obsessed with, and for good reason. Their releases have had fans coming back for more, and their Makeup Fixing Powder is no exception. Perfect for girlies on the go, this translucent setting powder is a staple for those who frequently retouch their makeup throughout the day. Even if you’ve been out and about, this powder can bring you back to matte in no time.

GRWM COSMETICS – POWDER RUSH LOOSE BAKING & SETTING POWDER

Baking is a makeup technique that became extra popular during the peak of Instagram Makeup. It helps to set your makeup in specific spots on your face (usually the undereyes) to reduce creasing and to set it for longtime wear. If you are a baking enthusiast, GRWM Cosmetics’ Powder Rush Loose Baking & Setting Powder will keep your makeup matte, even if the weather makes it feel like you’re in an oven.

CHU CHÜ BEAUTY – YUMMY YUM SKIN PRESSED POWDER

Chu Chü Beauty is known for giving beauty enthusiasts products where adorable packaging meets quality results, and their Yummy Yum Skin Pressed Powder is just that. Coming in a heart-shaped compact, this pressed powder gives a fresh, soft matte finish to the skin. This is perfect for those who love a lightweight look, as it doesn’t cake up your makeup either. Also, with how cute the packaging is, it could totally pass off as a bag charm, too.

FENTY BEAUTY – INVISIMATTE INSTANT SETTING & BLOTTING POWDER

Fenty Beauty changed the makeup industry when their Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation set the standard for how wide shade ranges should be. They’ve also set the standard for what a good setting powder should be with their Invisimatte Instant Setting & Blotting Powder. This transparent powder is able to absorb oil, giving you a flawless finish. Whether you’re setting your makeup right after finishing or blotting in the middle of the day, this makes your skin look silky smooth and shine-free. The best part is that you can buy refills once you’ve hit pan, so you can keep your compact for life, reducing waste.
