Soft Blur Matte Setting Powder

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

Catrice Soft Blur Matte Setting Powder is a $9, talc-free loose powder available in six shades, including peachy-neutral options for deeper skin tones. Several creators praise its finely milled, lightweight texture that blurs pores and keeps skin matte all day without flashback, but Andréa Matillano warns it is very drying and can settle into under-eye wrinkles within hours. Best for oily skin and areas you want matte, but avoid the under-eye if you have any dryness.
