Tired of your makeup being oily and smearing now that the days are warming up? If “yes,” it’s time to try some different setting powders. Even though a flawless makeup application starts with a star-studded makeup lineup, it’s completed with a powder that eliminates excess oil, smooths texture, and locks makeup in its place.
Read ahead for a list of the best setting powders that’ll keep your makeup in its place all day long.
