Take it from Recognized Makeup Artists: a best-in-quality setting powder is an investment and a must-have in any makeup vanity, especially if you live in a country like India where the summer heat and humidity can ruin a makeup look before even you head out for the party. Using a makeup fixer along with Setting Powder is one of the quintessential steps of your makeup routine. When the base is strong and the makeup is all set with longevity, the chances of quick touch-ups every now and then reduce gradually.
If you prefer a dewy look over matte ones, then also the setting powder plays an important role if applied strategically, only in the T-zones to cover up the extra oil shine and keep your makeup intact. Oil absorption and longevity might be the primary role of a loose powder, but there is more to it. Setting powder not only locks your makeup but also gives a rich 'finish' to the complete look, making your skin smoother and poreless.

Before or After foundation: When to apply Setting Powder?
A makeup enthusiast will know nothings' worse than your face makeup melting off. If you’ve followed all the rules and steps of how to apply a foundation to the T, you may be wondering where is the flaw? The truth is, you can fix it by tweaking your makeup routine a bit and applying the loose powder before the foundation. This might be unconventional, but many artists have recommended the benefits of applying the setting powder before the foundation. It can act as a shield to keep your face makeup in place. No wonder applying loose powder before the foundation has become a major Tik Tok makeup trick. Although, it completely depends on the needs and preferences. Applying for loose powder works effectively in both ways, i.e., before or after the foundation.

A quick trick, if you are looking for long-lasting makeup throughout the day, especially on heated and sunny days. You won’t have to worry about the hassle of quick touch-ups everywhere.
