When it comes to make-up, I'm a fan of the-less-is-more approach, which confirms my belief that style tastes and beauty regimes are closely aligned. I'm fascinated by - and applaud - the growing number of women who go about their day make-up-free

Consider again if you thought that setting powder was used to simply hold your makeup in place. The shade range for setting powders has broadened, from brightening to color correcting, a good setting powder can not only set your makeup in place and minimize oil, but it can also do wonders for your overall makeup finish. Because of this, it's so critical to find the right setting powder for your skin. Depending on your skin's requirements, finding the right setting powder to help achieve a smooth, filtered finish can be daunting, especially if you want your setting powder to work a little bit harder. Translucent setting powder has always been the go-to, and although it does work for all skin tones and is generally recommended for all, it is not the right setting powder to achieve your desired makeup look. It could also be causing your makeup to look cakey or flat.
