10 Reviews: Best Loose Powder for Dewy Look (May 2023)

This bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder will give you a healthy, dewy complexion to complete your “effortless” natural appearance. Excess oil is absorbed, makeup is locked in place, and there is no trace of the product visible due to zero color payoff or caking. Powder applied to the skin with a makeup brush creates a weightless veil that evens out skin tone for an airbrushed appearance. This product, like other bareMinerals products, is appropriate for vegans and is free of harmful ingredients.

"Great finishing powder with a slight shimmer. Does not get in creases at all. I do not wear foundation and use it to set my concealer. Part of my every day routine."

This Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder delivers a translucent matte finish with a healthy lit-from-within glow thanks to micro-refined silica and light-reflecting particles. It will give you a shine-free, dull-free complexion with no caking or settling into fine wrinkles, as well as setting your makeup for up to 12 hours. For properly blended coverage, press the puff into the powder, tap away from the excess, then roll it over your skin in a rolling motion.

"The color is perfect for my skin tone. I purchased the lighter color from the mall and it had white under tones. This was really great and it keeps the skin done and helps the make up last longer."
