"The internet's favorite setting powder dupe—and for good reason. It delivers a nearly identical soft-focus finish at a fraction of the cost."
Shop dupeMy verdict
e.l.f.'s Halo Glow powder is a remarkably close dupe for Kosas Cloud Set. Both deliver a soft-focus, non-drying finish that blurs pores without looking cakey. The Kosas formula has a slight edge in the baked texture and skincare ingredients, but at $14 vs $34, e.l.f. wins for everyday use. The difference is noticeable but not $20 noticeable.
