Not all of us are fond of applying makeup and go through the whole steps always. From contouring vs non-touring, bronzer v/s highlighter, we've been confused by it all. Of late, the beauty shelves have been stocked with various powders, from setting, finishing and translucent which are completely different from the pressed ones that our moms are accustomed to using. As the name suggests, finishing powder is applied last, on top of your makeup and acts as a filter on your skin to give you a more flawless appearance.

Finishing powders are not for everyday use its best used on big occasions like weddings or parties where there's going to be heavy duty camera action. As their names suggest, setting powder sets your makeup and is applied after your foundation so that it absorbs excess oil. Finishing powder sets your makeup and is applied after your eye and face makeup to even out complexion and blur out fine lines. Some of the finishing powders which are good ones like, L'Oreal Paris True Match Mineral Mattifying finishing powder, Nyx Professional Makeup Nofilter finishing powder, M.A.C Prep + Prime Transparent finishing powder and Colorbar Flawless Air Brush Finish loose powder.
