Setting and finishing sprays and powders are makeup staples. Find 50+ products from black owned brands below.
What are the differences? Setting powders are used on top of foundation and concealer, and serves to keep foundation and concealer on, as well as reduce shine. Setting sprays on the other hand are used after all makeup is applied to keep your makeup in place. As an analogy, while you may use a styling gel or pomade to create a particular look, hair spray keeps it in place. Finishing sprays extend the longevity of your look. Finishing powders are used to create a look such as giving you a radiant glow or air brushed appearance. Despite the label, one should review product descriptions to determine the exact purpose.
