Setting Powder Hacks: Stay fresher for longer
Hana, Dul, SET!
A good setting powder goes a long way!
I’ve talked before about why I don’t go anywhere without a loose powder, and that is still true! But in honor of the new release of the INNISFREE No-Sebum AC Powder, I thought it would be a good time to talk about some of my favorite loose powder hacks for longer lasting makeup and a fresh face!
Your foundation’s foundation
Everyone’s approach to makeup is a little bit different. We all have looks and techniques that we like and that work for us more than others. When I was first starting out, I understood setting powder to be the very last step of the process. It’s in the name, right? Setting powder. It sets everything in place and holds it there for the day.
But there may be another way to use it!
If you’re chronically online like so many of us are, you may have already seen this hack on TikTok: apply setting powder before your foundation. Using a powder before the rest of your makeup helps to absorb any excess oils on your skin and gives your foundation a better, more frictiony grip on your skin. In this case, I’d argue that the “setting” in setting powder is more like that in setting the stage.
A lip that sticks
This one’s for when your lipstick is part of your ‘fit of the day. We don’t wanna risk putting on a sweet shade and losing it to the elements only hours later. All you’ll need for this is your translucent powder and a single ply of tissue paper!
After applying a layer of your lipstick of your choice, gently lay one ply of tissue paper across your lips (no need to press down). Using a fluffy brush, apply your setting powder on your lips through the tissue. For extra staying power, you can even apply another layer of your lipstick on top!
Barefaced confidence
But if I am to be honest with you, as much as I love being a makeup girly, my favorite loose powder hack is to apply a light coating to my bare face on days that I wanna rock things sans paint. Even though it doesn’t offer much coverage, I know that it’s taking care of any extra sheen and sweat and excess sebum - letting my natural glow shine through.
The new No-Sebum AC Powder pulls an even more powerful punch! And it’s the new AC (actual care) formula to thank! This powder removes excessive sebum on the skin without causing inner-skin dryness.
This no-sebum powder also helps to conceal and subdue subtle imperfections like enlarged pores and an uneven skin texture, which is sometimes all you need for that boost of confidence as you head out the door.
If your skin doesn’t play nice with a lot of products, you might be happy to learn that this skincare product is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and trouble-prone skin. Flaunting your fierceness has never been gentler!
These fun little hacks will be ready for you the next time you’re getting dolled up for a long day. But don’t worry! As long as you’ve got that little tub on you, you’re gonna be just fine!
