I always look like a ghost..... setting powder horror

I can never get a setting powder that doesnโ€™t mess with my foundation! I wear the Fenty in 130, itโ€™s a perfect match, but every setting powder I use always brings it up and then I look like a ghost in photos. Any recommendations or powders you think I should be trying?

RE: I always look like a ghost..... setting powder horror

What if you are a ghost?? ๐Ÿ‘ป If you want to feel like a million bucks, or just spend a million bucks, givenchyโ€™s prisme libre is ๐Ÿ’ฏ. It comes in slightly different pigments so depending on your skin tone you can pick the right one for you. I know itโ€™s popular with the very fair and very deep toned, so itโ€™s safe to say youโ€™ll find your place. Itโ€™s also sooo soft ...

@anizyx My HG is the CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder,it'sa pressed powder and I use the just lightest dusting possible to set. I'm not sure if 1 - fair is light enough for you, but it's my favorite powder out there, pressed or loose.

 

Also something to consider, you might be using TOO much powder if it seems like all your setting powders are giving flashback/ghosting. I'd use a fluffier/natural hair brush (will pick up less to begin with) and do a pat, pat, roll, dust, dust motion for the sheerest application. Then another super light layer just on the t-zone for oil (for me at least, that's where I get more oily).

@anizyx how about the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder 0.3 oz/ 8.5 g  haven't used it myself but I've heard it's really good and has no flash back

I had the same problem! The KVD was the absolute worst for me. Iโ€™ve switched to the TOO FACED - Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder โ€“ Peaches and Cream Collection. It smells amazing, and the peach color isnโ€™t noticeable on the skin, but does wonders to eliminate that white cast. Thereโ€™s no flashback either, and makes tour skin so incredibly soft and smooth. I donโ€™t know my exact shade in Fenty (changes based on the time of year), but Iโ€™m in the 200s and donโ€™t find this to make me look ghostly

I second the Peach Perfect! Itโ€™s an awesome powder.
