During the Summertime, I find setting powder to be an essential part of a makeup routine. Setting makeup, especially in the heat and humidity, is an important part of keeping your makeup in tact. In fact, setting powder helps to absorb the excess oil and helps to lock in the makeup.
The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder is one of the most popular setting powders on the market. This powder is super-finely milled and offers a long-wearing, airbrushed finish. It also has a luxe, cashmere feeling when applied.
The Flawless Finish has a few key ingredients in the powder that set it apart from the competition. It contains rose wax, almond oil and light reflecting pearls which all contribute to hydration, moisturizing and reducing the appearance of pores. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush powder stays on without creasing or becoming cakey.
As with all things luxe, this setting powder comes with a cost. The powder retails for $48 for the compact size of the product. Enter: Charlotte Tilbury powder dupe. There are alternatives on the market that provide that same airbrushed look as the original.
