Primer and setting powder to keep your makeup in place all summer long

One of the greatest betrayals in beauty is that cosmetics that should have taken 25 minutes or more to apply melt away. There are dry shampoos that absorb excess sebum from the scalp and powders made specifically to absorb boob sweat. And on the face, there are magical products that prevent makeup from slipping off your face and onto the sidewalk or, worse, onto your mask.

By old-fashioned, I simply mean reliable. Because the latest and greatest face powders are more advanced than ever. Blurring pigments act as DIY Instagram filters. The formulas are infused with skin-soothing ingredients that help to even out your complexion while you're wearing it. There is a wider variety of shades, ranging in price from affordable to luxurious. Overall, the setting powders have improved both in terms of ingredients and texture, and we are excited about that. We felt everyone needed a refresher on the best setting powders, from pressed options to cute loose powders in pots. Here are the very best setting powders

for every skin tone under the sun (literally).
