“Sometimes I just use a tinted SPF with a powder over top of it because I love my freckles and don’t want them to be completely covered,” Kenna Ehman, makeup artist and co-owner of Kenna Kunijo spa in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can also use it in place of foundation, since some tinted face powders can also offer translucent coverage, along with SPF and hydrating and brightening ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid.

Makeup primer, should of course, be the first step, followed by foundation, and then apply setting powder last to help “seal in in makeup, reduce shine, and hide blemishes,” says celebrity makeup artist and Jamie Makeup founder Jamie Greenberg.

“It keeps your foundation locked in throughout the day and ensures that your skin looks smooth with an allover clean finish-never shiny or oily.” Our top picks: “In the heat, your cream or liquid foundation will not set without a setting powder,” explains Natasha Moor, makeup artist and founder of Natasha Moor Cosmetics. Makeup powders can be especially helpful if you use a lightweight foundation. And unlike makeup setting spray, a single dusting can lock your makeup in place, keep shine to a minimum, and soak up sweat and oil-qualities that are undeniably useful in the sticky-sweaty dog days of summer. Think of setting powder as a tool (and a highly underrated one at that) that can vastly extend the life of even easy makeup looks, much as a topcoat does for your manicure. But with the latest face powder formulas, your makeup could last twice as long and stay put without smearing, smudging, or feeling heavy.

The product’s bad rap for making your face look dry and cakey certainly doesn’t help either. Unlike a good blush or an incredible lipstick, the best setting powders aren’t made to be noticed-which is why they’re an easy step to skip in your beauty routine when you’re pressed for time or money.
