If you’re tired of looking shiny by midday, reach for this rice powder-infused compact. It absorbs oil and has a transfer-free finish to keep your makeup looking matte all day.

L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder

For flawless full coverage and a matte finish that won’t budge for up to 24 hours, we love this powder foundation. It’s lightweight and non-comedogenic, so even though it lasts all day, it doesn’t feel cakey or clog your pores.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Setting Powder

Not every powder is meant to mattify — this one actually adds radiance. Dust it all over for a soft, lit-from-within glow, or choose a shade slightly darker than your skin tone to warm up your complexion.

This waterproof pressed powder sets your makeup and mattifies skin for up to 11 hours, even in extreme heat and humidity. It’s also totally translucent, so it works on any skin tone.

Kosas Cloud Set Setting Powder

This lightweight powder blurs pores and adds a hint of sheer coverage. It offers a natural, skin-like finish that lets your skin glow.
