When nothing less than flawless will do, add a translucent powder to your makeup routine. Designed to not alter the colour of your base makeup, translucent setting powders are ideal for giving skin a perfected, airbrushed effect.
You might be asking yourself what the difference between translucent powder and baking powder is. Translucent powders are often used to help blur, smooth and perfect the skin, while baking powders are used to set cream or liquid formulas in place for extended wear.
Our favourite translucent powders
RCMA No Colour Powder has a cult reputation among makeup artists, and for good reason. With a completely translucent base, it’s suitable for all skin types and tones, while the finely milled texture leaves a silky smooth, invisible finish.
If you want a translucent finishing powder but hate the hassle of loose powders, there are plenty of pressed options too. We like
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder, housed in a convenient compact perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
