The Setting Powders That Will Keep Your Makeup In Place All Summer

From a new bold lip coloto beachy waves, changing your look to match the summer can be fun. However, mopping your brow and having half your foundation smudge off your face in the heat is less enjoyable. If you're prone to oily skin in the hot weather then it can be difficult to wear makeup without worrying that it'll end up moving. So, here's the setting powders that will keep your makeup in place all summer.

Cosmopolitan explains that, if you live in a very hot or humid place, some movement in your makeup is pretty inevitable. However, New York City makeup artist Delina Medhin told Allure, "Setting your makeup is one of the most important steps of makeup. When you set the makeup, it has longevity. Who wants to carry a touch-up kit everywhere?" Using a setting powder can minimize shine and reduce the visibility of pores. Feel Unique also notes that if you suffer from dry patches or overall dry skin then that doesn't mean you have to pass on setting powders. You may just need to invest in a finer, softer formula.

"Setting powder will literally set the makeup to make sure it stays put. They usually come translucent and are a bit heavier," professional makeup artist Pamela Faller told Best.. "A finishing powder acts as more of a veil and goes on like a light dusting than setting powder to blur any lines to create that seamless finish."

Here are some great setting powders to check out.

If you're investing in a new setting powder then you want to know that whatever you're putting over your makeup won't make it crease or break you out in spots.

One popular choice is the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. The Laura Mercier website writes that this powder is 16 hour long-wearing and designed to blur imperfections and prevent flashback. You can either buy it in translucent or slightly tinted.

Another raved-about product is the Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Setting Powder. It comes in multiple shades, as well as translucent, and is listed as an essential step for flawless skin all day. Similarly, the Marc Jacobs Finish Line Perfecting Coconut Setting Powder promises a lightweight finish and is soft and buttery in formula, setting your makeup for up to eight hours.

Over the last couple of years, Fenty Beauty has been a seriously watched brand and their Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder has been highly recommended in the beauty community. It's been designed to work alongside Fenty's foundation and comes in a range of colors to match your undertones. Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder makes similar promises of offering a smooth and refined finish to your makeup. The loose powder buffs into your skin and balances natural oils.

If you're a super-fan of brands like Nars and It Cosmetics then you could also try their Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder and the Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish Airbrush Powder.

When you've never tried a product before then it can be daunting to take someone's recommendation and drop $30. Sometimes it's easier to investigate the drugstore and then make the decision if you want to go high-end. And there are so many affordable makeup brands that offer oil-proof setting powders.

One setting powder that's recommended time and time again is the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Tinted Loose Setting Powder. The blue tint to the powder is designed to brighten your complexion and keep shine at bay all day. Covergirl has also designed a setting powder that claims to blur imperfections and pores and give you a no-filter finish in their TruBLEND Minerals Loose Powder. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder says that it contains antioxidants, including pro-vitamin B5 and vitamins C and E so the setting powder should leave your skin feeling fresh and smooth.

And there are other brands that fall somewhere in between the drugstore and high-end price points. Glossier Wowder Finishing Powder is a great mid-priced option. It comes in five shades and says that it controls dewiness and smooths out creases. Danessa Myricks Evolution Powder can be used wet or dry on the skin and promises to smooth, prime, and set makeup. It's always great to have a multipurpose product in your purse.

And the BAREMINERALS Mineral Sheer Setting Powder promises to be very sheer on the skin but still sets your makeup and provides a veil of shimmer.
