Read ahead for a list of the best setting powders that'll keep your makeup in its place all day long.

Dubbed one of NARS' best-selling products, this pressed powder sets makeup and adds all-day hydration. The formula also adjusts skin to different sources of light, so your skin remains camera ready at all times.

Greenberg is all about this prime and set powder. “It’s great because it’s hydrating and can also be applied as a base before makeup," she says. "It’s translucent, so one shade is excellent for everyone.”

This is one of Halperin's favorites. It has a fine texture that seamlessly blends into the skin to create a crease-free finish while also brightening the complexion.

This is another one you'll always find in Halperin's kit. This formula fills in pores, smooths imperfections, and sets makeup. But its best feature? It plumps the skin, thanks to the hyaluronic acid that minimizes the appearance of lines.

If you're struggling with shiny skin, take note and snag this sheer-setting powder that keeps your makeup and skin looking fresh, sans shine and glow. How? The powder uses bamboo stem extract to absorb excess oils and sweat, leaving your complexion with a natural finish.

This multitasking powder not only sets makeup, but also smooths skin, absorbs oil, and adds light coverage simultaneously. It's also available in four shades, ranging from light to deep.

Set your face with this luxurious, talc-free, and vegan formula. It's so soft and velvety, you won't even notice you're wearing it, and it smooths makeup and leaves the skin with a bright and vibrant look.

Chanel's loose powder acts as the best setting powder for all skin types: it's available in eight shades and provides lasting, lightweight coverage that leaves skin with an even appearance. The matte finish also helps to set makeup and give it a fresh finish all day.

Occasionally setting powders can feel heavy and make the skin look dryer, but that's not the case with this loose powder. It has a lightweight texture that blends into the skin and blurs pores and uneven skin tone.

If you're looking for a setting powder that makes your skin feel like silk, then reach for this formula, which has light-reflecting particles that leave a luminous, vibrant finish without any shine.

This translucent powder includes vitamin E, which acts as an anti-inflammatory, while vitamin B5 helps retain moisture and hyaluronic acid reduces wrinkles and plumps skin. The powder also provides a flawless-looking finish.

This setting powder locks makeup in place for up to 16 hours without smudging and transferring.

This setting powder contains the brand's proprietary responsive sensory technology that adapts to your skin's specific needs, like its tone and texture. The powder adds a breathable layer on top of your makeup products, which leaves it with a highlighted, luminous finish.

This completely translucent loose-setting powder comes in a variety of shades designed for all skin tones, from fair to deep. Each container features four unique colors—two for color correction and two for setting—to create a matte finish that minimizes pores and the appearance of creases while moisturizing the skin.

This formula is dermatologist-tested and approved, which makes it an excellent selection for all skin types. It's non-acnegenic, which means it won't clog pores and encourage acne. Aside from its skin benefits, it also leaves makeup with the most natural finish without any excess oil.

This cruelty-free powder has a laundry list of benefits. In addition to leaving your makeup crease-free, it works into a velvet, cream-like texture as you swipe it across your skin. The formula also features squalane, a natural ingredient that locks moisture into the skin.

This drugstore staple has clean ingredients like tapioca and aloe vera powder that help to reduce excess oil, leaving pores less visible with a smooth finish.

This ultra-refined setting powder is loved by shoppers and the pros, and it's no surprise why. It has a natural finish, weightless texture, and is long-wearing. It also blurs imperfections and smooths signs of aging while locking makeup in place.

Setting powders are mostly suitable for all skin types, but if you’re looking to select the best ones for your skin specifically, make sure you keep its needs in mind. Greenberg explains that if you have dry skin, opt for a powder that emphasizes hydration. “You want it to have nourishing ingredients, such as squalene and hyaluronic acid, that won’t dry you out,” she adds. And if you have oily skin, seek powders that absorb excess oils.

Lip Gloss Container When it comes to applying a setting powder, celebrity makeup artist and groomer Lucy Halperin explains that she likes to set around the areas that show shine, so you're not caking up your skin. You should also avoid powder around your lines since it will define them even more. “I love setting a foundation with a light bronzer powder too, which adds a healthy glow,” she says.
