8 Mattifying Powders To Keep You Shine-Free And Flawless

Dewy, glowy skin is highly covetable, but that can sometimes veer into “greasy” territory. These mattifying powders will keep shine in check.

by Engracia Ang   /   October 9, 2019

Let’s face it: Dewy, glowy skin isn’t for everyone. Some people just don’t suit the look, while others prefer a matte complexion. And then, there are people who love a glowy look but have oily skin that prevents them from attempting it. For that, we propose a solution: mattifying powders. Use it only on your T-zone to keep shine in check while leaving your cheeks glowy. Or use it all over your face for a matte complexion – just make sure to pick a formula that won’t make your foundation cakey. Have a look through our list of favourites to get started.
