A setting powder will lock and set all that makeup you just slathered on. We suggest using a loose powder to set your under eyes and your T-zone.

You can also top it off with a makeup setting spray to ensure the powder melts into your skin. Remember, avoid cake-face by using setting powder sparingly.
