questions

What is setting powder used for?

Setting Powder is used to set makeup so it will not smudge or transfer. Setting powder can also help reduce the wet feeling and shine that foundation often has after it is applied. Oily or combination skin types use setting powder to absorb excess oil throughout the day. It can also be used in specific areas; like under the eyes only to keep the foundations looking dewy. Try Dermablend's Loose Setting Powder which is available in three shades and provides up to 16 hour wear.

How long should you leave setting powder on for?

At least 1-2 minutes. However, if you have used a generous amount of foundation, you can leave it on for up to 3-5 minutes to ensure it's fully set.

What is banana powder used for?

Traditionally, banana powder is used to set makeup on highlighted areas such as eyes, cheekbones and forehead. The unique properties of Dermablend's Illuminating Banana Powder provide a hint of warmth and luminosity without an ashy or cakey finish. For those who may have redness or dull complexion, the universal banana shade gently neutralizes the skin tone with an even, luminous finish.

What is the difference between finishing powder and setting powder?

Both setting powder and finishing powder are applied after liquid foundation or concealer to lock in the coverage and absorb excess oil. However, finishing powder is recommended after a setting powder to provide a soft or blurred finish. With Dermablend's Loose Setting Powder, this additional step is not needed as the formula provides the benefits of setting powder with the softening effect of a finishing powder.

What is the difference between pressed and loose powder?

The main difference between loose and pressed powders is the way the product is packaged. Pressed powders are pressed into a compact, while loose powders are often packaged in jars or tubs. It comes down to personal preference for application of choice. While some prefer loose powder for its texture, pressed powder is excellent for travel and on-the-go application.
