Tips
- Kosas products emphasize skin-like finishes—look for dupes labeled natural finish or skin-like rather than full-coverage.
- The Cloud Set powder is unique for not drying the skin; look for hydrating or finely-milled drugstore powders.
- Clean beauty certifications are not required for similar formulas—many drugstore brands use comparable ingredients.
