Thankfully, we’ve moved past the era of sealing make-up with a spritz of hairspray. Nowadays, everything from your skincare prep to the primer you choose can help you achieve a lasting finish.
However, few products are as key as setting powders when it comes to ensuring your make-up doesn’t budge. Available in pressed and loose forms, setting powders can also help control shine, explains celebrity make-up artist Zoë Taylor. “A pressed powder is lighter, and a more ‘on the go’ solution for keeping shine under control and maintaining your make-up,” she says. Meanwhile, a loose powder gives more coverage.
