What Is Finishing Powder?
Finishing powder is applied as a final step to blur pores, add soft focus, or create a polished look—often translucent or with a slight tint.
Finishing powder is different from setting powder: it's often used at the end of the routine for a soft-focus, airbrushed effect. Some products combine setting and finishing.
Tips
- Use a fluffy brush and a light hand. Can be applied all over or only where you want blur.
