Youngblood, Laura Mercier and Rimmel setting powder |
Matte Matte Matte!!! I am crazy about keeping my skin matte, all day and everyday. Here are three different setting powders I will tell you guys all about them.
All the powders here are translucent , so no coverage at all.

Youngblood mineral rice setting power |
First thing first, I hate the packaging of this, as you all can see in the picture there's powder everywhere. This particular translucent powder claims that it absorbs oil to control shine and
diminish the appearance of pores, but will never dry your skin.
This powder comes in 3 shades, light, medium and dark and formulation is super healthy, it has rice starch, corn starch and minerals, and is 100% talc-free, which mean it 's kind to the ones with sensitive and acne prone skin.
For me, this is setting powder did absolutely nothing in shine/oil control, my face would still turn into a disco ball by mid-day.
I have tried so many different methods of using this, putting it on before and after my powder foundation, putting it on with a brush, dust it on with a brush, pat it on with a sponge etc and guess what? nothing worked :(
I really want to like this product but unfortunately it did nothing for me apart from making my face smells nice (i mean the powder itself smells quite nice lol), didn't break me out and the powder it's very fine so it didn't make me look powdery or cakey.
For the price and the performance, I won't repurchase this again, very disappointed.
Pros: fine powder, natural ingredients, light none cakey.
Cons: didn't do anything for me, pricy and messy(horrible packaging).

Laura Mercier Mineral Finishing Powder |
I love the no mess packaging haha its so convenient to carry around in the
purse with you. the powder again is translucent no color no coverage,
still a mineral powder with a fair few natural ingredients in it such as
rice starch, pearl powder, grape extract etc. so far this is the best
setting powder I've ever used :D I put it on before and after my powder
foundation, and this makes such a difference in prolong the wearing of
my makeup! At the end of the day even my friends came and asked me what
did I use on my face because I didn't look shiny at all! the powder feels so light and silky on face, it will never make you look dry or powdery.
Pros: excellent at oil control, keep your make up looking fresh for longer, easy to carry around with, translucent, none cakey/powdery, good ingredients.
Cons: $$$$ Price

Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder |
This is probably the most talked setting powder EVER. lol well its cheap, and it does the job.
I have a lot of Rimmel products, and this one is my favorite! I will have to say this powder is pretty compatible with the Laura Mercier Powder above :) this one is just a cheaper version of it!
why cheaper? well I guess the saying 'you get what you pay for' is absolutely right, first the ingredients in this powder aren't as healthy, the first thing on the ingredient list is talc and then there's fragrance in it. And then it can be a bit drying at first, and so can make you look a little powdery, but it will settle in as the day goes on. The lasting power I would say its medium to high (it depends how oily you are), it will get me through till the afternoon.
Pros: cheap, does the job (might have to reapply but for the price I'm not complaining) super easy to take out with, hasn't broke me out yet.
Cons: can be drying and powdery on face, bad ingredients.
will repurchase this again and again.
If you have any questions please leave a comment down below, and please share with me about your favorite skincare, makeup, fashion and trends :) would love to try new things out!
