Smooth Finish Brightening Setting Powder
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Versed Smooth Finish Brightening Setting Powder offers a blurring, undetectable matte finish that mimics unset skin while locking in makeup, per professional makeup artist Julia Adams MUA. She finds it too brightening and reflective for her taste, noting it can exaggerate under-eye lines, but recommends it for those with dry skin who prefer a glowier base. Creator Rudi Berry calls it inexpensive and personally recommends it for a mattified look that isn't overly matte.

Variant: 1
- “It reminds me a lot of what the Givenchy loose setting powder used to be like. So it does have kind of a illuminating sheen to it”5:10–5:16
- “It doesn't add any texture or crepiness at all because the base powder is very blurring”5:20–5:28
- “It completely sets, but it still remains looking bit pearly”9:56–10:03
- “I do find it's a touch too brightening for all over my face”10:11–10:15
- “It does look more like natural skin, which I do enjoy. It still has some blurring qualities. It is setting my makeup”10:38–10:42
- “The one thing I didn't like from today is the powder. I do see that under my eyes. It's not making my concealer crease. But now that my concealer has adjusted the powder is exaggerating the look of my under eye lines”14:00–14:05
- “It's just far too reflective for my liking”14:21–14:25
- “If you have super dry skin and you do like the glowier look to your base, you may really, really enjoy this stuff”14:23–14:29
