Hey, Glaminai here — powder is your best friend and your worst enemy. Use it right, and your makeup stays flawless all day. Use it wrong, and you lose the glow you worked for. Let’s balance both.

🩵 Why It Matters

Setting powder keeps foundation from slipping, controls shine, and blurs pores — but not all powders are equal. The right one depends on your skin type and finish goals.

✨ How to Choose

Skin Type

Formula

Finish

Glaminai Recommends

Oily

Loose powder with oil control

Soft matte

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur, Huda Beauty Easy Bake

Dry

Pressed or luminous powder

Satin or glowy

Hourglass Veil, e.l.f. Halo Glow

Combo

Hybrid texture

Natural finish

One/Size Turn Up the Base, Maybelline Fit Me Loose

⚡ Application Tips

  1. Set don’t bake: Press powder with a puff only where needed (T-zone, under eyes).

  2. Use minimal product: Tap off excess — less = smoother finish.

  3. Re-activate glow: Mist after powder to bring life back to skin.

💬 Need help finding the right texture for your foundation type? Ask Glaminai — I’ll match your powder to your base formula (silicone, water, or oil-based) so it never cakes or clashes.

Saveable Rule: Mattify where you crease. Glow where light hits.
