I always thought the two were the same!!! Now, I have to look at all my powders to see what I have...gezzzz... probably been doing it all wrong for 50 years!
Same here. Same here. Same here! 😑🤪 usually don’t even bother with the powder at this point 😏 Going now to see what my powder is 🤣😄
I do all these steps to make my make up last... and yes I learned it from you. But let me just add for those of us that have older dryer skin...after your done and you look dry... a good spray of the catrice dewy glow just bring enough moisture back in and it looks great. I use it not so much for setting but to take the dry and powdery look off. It’s perfect and you can totally wet your face with it and let it dry and BAM you look like younger healthy moisturized skin after all the powdering. It’s the bomb especially on us over 60 girls!
Let me also add that even when you have a. Little flaking from your tretinoin that seems to come out sometimes when you powder... the dewy glow spray makes it melt back in... I can’t live without it... and it’s inexpensive... just a tip from your 64 year old fan!
You can’t even imagine how much you e helped me Steph, thank you and God Bless you!
Thanks! That’s why I added in the voiceover re the facial mist. Love the specific product rec and that it works for you so well! 💗💗💗
Hi Stephanie you look absolutely gorgeous. Your skin is so glowing I just love it. Thankyou so much for doing this tutorial as I had no idea the difference between these powders. Sending you love and hugs from the UK xx
Hi Stephanie. Brown-skinned woman here who loves your channel! We seem to have the same combination skin type - somewhat oily but w dry areas too - and I use Laura Mercier as a setting powder and then ELF high definition as a finishing powder. Great video!
So, it doesn't look cakey then?
@@jujubelooga Hi Miss Mishra. Back when I was doing this method, it did not look cakey: I would only use the setting powder at oily areas; and the ELF finishing powder is super fine, so a light dusting over my whole face just blended everything nicely. Nowadays (2 years later!), I've stopped using all powders, for the most part -- just a bit of Laura Mercier for special occasions. I find that using a good primer ( Smashbox original formula) before I do my under-eye concealer (I don't use foundation), then a high-quality blending brush to smooth any harsh lines between contour, blush, etc is all I need. Good luck to you!
I love using the sponge now to set my make up with setting powder. Oh my god what a game changer. As somebody who has worked through the pandemic at the retail level and had to wear a mask every day my make up was always on the inside of my mask. I tried this technique the other day and absolutely no transfer! I was floored. I tried it again the next day and the same result. Unbelievable! Thank you thank you thank you! I am 57 With an extremely oily tea zone and dry Under eyes. So grateful for these tips
Stephanie, I just received the MAC mineralized skin finish powder that you recommended (thanks for the link!) and I love it. It leaves my face looking so smooth. Thank you!
FANTASTIC video Stephanie! I've been using your undereye method for a while now and it is literally the BEST method for smooth, creaseless undereyes!
Can't wait to see your favorites!! Just the steps I have been needing to see!! Going to try new techniques for sure!!
Thank you Stephanie! Game changer for me! I'm oily combo with mature skin. I either used too much powder or not enough. Your method is perfect for my skin!! I also watched your linked concealer video. Exactly what I needed. I was getting so frustrated with attempts to lessen the look of fine lines. Thank you 😊
It’s like you read my mind when it comes to your videos! Thank you for a very informational video! I can’t wait to try this... looking forward to the other ones as well!
I really enjoy your channel. You get to the point and don’t take too long to explain things. You are so lovely and I use your techniques and recommendations. I love your dog in the background too by the way.
Thank you! 💗
This is so so helpful. Helped with the confusion. I’d love to hear what you’d recommend for drier skin types! Thanks 😊
I just wanted to come back and tell you I’ve been using the damp sponge method to set my concealer, and it’s been a game changer! Thanks so much!
Loved this Stephanie and I LOVE buffing with powder and love the Mac mineralized natural finish SO MUCH!!! Powders are so GORGEOUS now!!! 🥰
Incredible how the finishing powder made everything muvh smoother. I normally use setting spray, but yeah, the alcohol is killing my skin.
As for my favorite setting powder: Sensai Translucent Setting Powder. Hands down my favorite of all time, very finely mild, silky and doesn't disrupt my foundation. Haven't found anything remotely close.
As for finishing powders... Well, I think I'm gonna have to find myself one.
I have normal to dry skin, and I find powders by By Terry, Glossier Wowder, and No. 7 are excellent (and span 3 price points). They set the makeup and are hydrating - so you don't look dry, powdery, and old. I avoided powders for years, and that was a mistake. Also, using the damp sponge to apply powders makes a huge, positive difference.
Hey! This is a great video! Thanks for the thoroughness in explanation. I like the idea of using a damp sponge to meld the powder with the base. Idk why I hadn’t thought of that. I like way too many powders, haha. CT both pressed and loose. Laura Mercier finishing loose powder for setting and her illuminating pressed one. ItCosmetics loose powder for when I’m not taking pics but need more mattifying. Hourglass veil...and ambient ones as well. All so good and for different reasons. Looking forward to future videos. 🙌🏻
Sending you all my love from Greece. Thank you for the knowledge. It's been very educating. 💖
I absolutely love to use the Charlotte tilbury pressed powder to set, and then the hourglass ambient lighting power in dim light to finish. Then I use the pixi hydrating milky mist as a setting spray. I get the creamiest, most flawless finish using these products.
Leslie Simpson ...I may have to try that Pixi mist!
Thanks! I’ve been wanting to buy that powder 😍
Leslie Simpson I need to try that Pixi mist!
I can't seem to make the pressed power work for me. No matter what I do it always gets cakey on me. I want to like it so much...any suggestions?
jennifer salgado what kind of brush are you using? Try a good quality natural hair brush. Squirrel hair will give you sheerest application but a goat hair will work too
Such a great informational video. I don't use setting spray either because they dry out my skin. My favorite setting powders these days are Laura Mercier, Coty airspun, hourglass, and Charlotte Tilbury Flawless finish. It's crazy that the Coty is in my list of favorites but I actually like it more than my Viseart and no 7.
Hi Stephanie, Well I tried it 2 days in a raw and I am really impressed , my makeup was locked in all day long what a difference my friend 😱 at the end of the day it was literally like I just did my makeup
I didn’t purchase any powders because I am waiting for your list 😉 so I used ones that I already had: the Jeffree star setting powder in translucent and a nofilter finishing from NYX in medium, I am not convinced by the NYX one but the result is still amazing.
I don’t think I can do my makeup in another way now 🤗
This is one of the better trick I have ever tried and so easy to perform so thank you so much Stephanie ❤️
Have a lovely day!
WOW! THANK YOU! I used your technique and I am blown away! My makeup looks so completely different, not powdery at all. It looks like I don't have powder on at all.
Please do the video on your favorite setting powders and finishing powders. Thank you.
Awesome! I’m so glad it works for you! 💞
Super, super helpful video. I love your channel and the way you explain things. Much appreciated!
My makeup doesn’t feel “finished” until I powder - even in my normal/dryish skin. I don’t utilize finishing powder often, but you’ve inspired me.
Me too!
Even if my skin is suffering a rosacea flare up and is ultra dehydrated, I feel unfinished without powder.
I just up the hydrating products under my makeup, gently rub away any flaky areas with a towel when I dry my face and then I am ok to go.
Pressing the powder in with a damp sponge really helps too.
Less buffing with a brush which can irritate and lift up flakes on the skin. Then a hydrating spray to finish off.
I had to come back and really thank you again. I really never knew there was a difference. I use setting spray to lock in my look and it helps very much with my combo oily skin plus I’m 58 years old. I never really like the feeling very much though. The thought of using a finishing powder and done, really appeals to me. So, I’ll keep my setting sprays because they work, but for everyday wear, I feel the finishing powder will work best for me. 😊👍
I honestly had no idea what the difference was. This was the video I needed but never knew it. Thank you. Im going to watch your concealer video now. We have very similar skin types and live in NOLA. I use to use setting spray at the end off my makeup and it just like dissolved my makeup in my pores so I got to frustrated and stopped wearing makeup. I have bad anxiety so it was just to overwhelming that's why I really appreciate this video.
I can’t wait to try this. It’s been driving me crazy that I just 👏🏼 can’t 👏🏼 keep 👏🏼 my under eyes from creasing and transferring mascara to save my life. Never tried using a damp sponge for my translucent powder. Fingers crossed!
I just tried her technique for powder with a damp sponge and oh my God! Wow wee wow wee wow wee!I had no idea. As a person that has had to work through this entire pandemic and wear a mask every day my make up has always ended up all over my mask. I wear a double wear foundation and I just use a setting powder on top. I tried her technique with the sponge the other day and I had no transfer onto the mask whatsoever. Maybe a tiny bit on the bridge of my nose where it was under my glasses. I was so shocked that I actually applied more make up and more powder for the afternoon to try it again. Again no transfer mind blown…
I love this. It’s perfect. So many people need to know this !! Thanks I know it helps me
Thanks soooo much for these incredible tips! & The brush you use! I think I need that brush now 😊 I know I can always count on your recommendations Stephanie! Love you!! 💜💖❤️💕
This is fantastic info Stephanie that so many need. It took me awhile to figure out the difference between the 2 types of powders, and was a game changer for me when I did !!!!! Unlike your skin tho, my skin is extremely dry and about 20 years older than yours LOL ;-) I do use a damp sponge to apply my setting powder. The only time it doesn't work quite as well, is if the foundation is very matte or a dryer formula. Then with a still damp sponge, I'll also spray the sponge with a hydrating setting spray, then press the powder in. Works like a charm !!!!
Thanks so very much for a well thought out video with everything explained beautifully. Have a super wonderful week sweetie. Hugsss ❤❤❤❤
I have never been able to stop my under eye concealer from creasing... until this video! I don’t know how, but the sponge method with the Lancôme powder 100% prevents creasing ALL DAY! I haven’t come across another channel that has consistently provided tips that ACTUALLY WORK. I cannot thank you enough! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for clearing up the difference! Looking forward to trying your tips! ❤️ When will you be posting the videos about your favorites?
Great video!! My fave setting powder is the CoverFX and fave finishing is the Lancôme Pêche and I really like the Jaclyn Hill mood light in Dew You!! And of course any of the Hourglass are wonderful!!
Thank you Stephanie for this essential video!🌞
Would love to know some more affordable ( drugstore ) options for setting and finishing powders !!
Elf makes a pretty good HD finishing pressed powder. Essence also makes an All About Matt fixing powder that's okay, but it doesn't last as long. But since I use so very little of my favorite (IT Bye Bye Pores Anti-Age HD), I'm willing to pay the extra because it lasts so long. It's absolutely worth the $29 (and I'm stingy.)
southgagirl thank you I’ll have to check it out ♥️
I’ve heard the Milani prep, set, and glow is a dupe for the hourglass finishing powders.
Catrice Nude Illusion Loose Powder is a nice setting powder!
Leslie Simpson thank you ♥️
What a coincidence. I was at Ulta today and asked the consultant what the difference was between setting and finishing powders. (I think she should watch your video!) I am 20 years older than you but still have the oily skin with larger pores. I am always looking for ways to smoother looking skin without settling into wrinkles. Thanks for your videos
Hi Stephanie, what a great video! It made me into a subscriber.. thank you! Your video made me realize that I was doing something right, powder-wise. I use Too Faced Peach Perfect Loose Setting Powder over my foundation, (a small amount of) Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes over my concealer, and I use Lancome Absolue Radiant Smoothing Powder in Radiant Peche to Finish over everything. My skin looks mattified and radiant, and I get compliments on my "perfect skin" with this combination. My skin is far from perfect! It's what you teach in this video. Thank you again!
Great video. You explain things beautifully. My favorite setting powder is the Nikkia Joy powder. I use two finishing powders (not sure why). I first use the Hourglass Veil powder and the Hourglass ambient powder. Both very lightly. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Your eye makeup looks stunning❣️
Thank you! 😘
Great thorough video on a topic that can be confusing. I use Koh Gen Do for both finishing and setting and the Hourglass ambient light for setting.
Thank you for these great tips. I tried using a beauty blender to set my concealer and this tip worked so well. I'm 64 years young and this worked. Can't wait to try a finishing powder. My skin used to be combo but now is normal to dry. Your make application is beautiful. I'm new to your channel but your becoming a favorite😊❤
Thank you Margaret! 💗
This was an awesome video. So needed. Learned so much. Thanks
You’re so right. Brushes are the cherry on top. My fav setting powder is hourglass
Thank you! I could definitely use some options for both setting and finishing powders. I'm 58 and generally stay FAR away from powders, especially under my eyes.... but perhaps I'm just using the wrong type. I truly didn't realize there was a difference p. 🤷♀️
I've watched all 3 of your videos on powders and how to use them. I'm now on my second viewing. So helpful but there are so many options I'm still trying to sort them out. Whew! Thank you for covering this topic so thoroughly.
So helpful!! Thank you. I need to go figure out which is which in my stash and start using them correctly!
I use the Hourglass ambient light finishing powders, they are beautiful on the skin!
Very helpful video. I also prefer a dampened sponge to set my under eyes; I feel like since it’s damp it doesn’t leave a cakey look but it also helps keep the powder in place more than a brush. Love the Charlotte Tilbury powder for high-end and from the drugstore I like No. 7 translucent and Cody Airspun (minus the scent lol) and then the Hourglass Ambient powder to finish. Got the CT bc of your recommendation. Thanks Stephanie 😍👍
can't wait to see your favorite finishing powders. another great teaching video. thanks
Hi Steph great video.....I love love love finishing powder especially the hourglass ones...I was lucky enough that my step daughter gifted me the ghost pallete for Christmas and I use it every time I do my make up 💕 xx
Thank you for doing this and the other two complementary videos. This has been a huge help for me I have always felt I look too powdery and now I understand why. I’ve gone out and bought the born this Way powder and it’s so fine and beautiful I think it’s going to work very well. Thank you again for posting this it’s amazing your skin always looks gorgeous so appreciate your take on this
I'm so glad they helped! Thanks Tracey!
My Laura Mercier powder is about to run out and I was starting to look about what other options are there to try out and now you will upload a video about that? How lucky am I lol. I can’t wait! Beautiful makeup btw!!!!
THANK YOU ssssooooo much for this video!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Such a great one and so useful!!! Your “best concealer” video was also very useful!!!
So helpful video
My "look" has been evolving over the past few years. At first I was all about full coverage matte, now it is medium dewy. You have lead me in this direction. Dewy shear foundations that I "hated" at first, have resurfaced to become faves thanks to the techniques you share with us. I'm using the Tatty Blendafull to press in my setting powder. It's amazing how my makeup lasts by taking this extra step. Now, I just need to add a finishing powder. Thank you, Stephanie.
I'm glad I've been able to help you along this process Joan! :)
My favorite finishing powders are the Hourglass Ambient lighting powders my second favorite is MAC MSFN. These are the only two I currently use and have been for years. I haven't found any that I like better or equally as well. Thanks for all the great videos.
This is so helpful. A couple minutes watching this video, I was like “oh that explains so much! And that’s what I been doing wrong!” Thank you
Yay! I'm so glad that it helped!
Stephanie thank you for your videos, you are the best teacher ever! I’ve learned a lot from you! Happy Sunday 🌸
That's so sweet of you. Thank you!
Just went back to using both powders, for every reason you mentioned!! Eureka!! So much better!!❤️
The Sonia G Face Pro and Wayne Goss #11 are also awesome brushes for buffing finishing powders if you prefer natural hair brushes. Great video 💖!!
Thank you! Had no idea my HG Ambient powder was a finishing powder and used to use setting powder after blush etc and not after foundation/concealer. Very helpful :)
Such a confusing topic...thank you for a great video!! Super dry skin here....haven’t been setting my under eyes at all...but I am quite a bit older 😊
I use Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder for everything. Also love Hourglass Veil in the hotter summer months for extra staying power.
I’m currently using and liking the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Finishing Powder.
Stephanie! Thank you and bless you! I watch many of your videos for us uh hm “more mature ladies”. I’ve watched many of your videos for us uh hm “more mature ladies” but have never commented before.
I am very grateful to you for doing this video. I’ve ALWAYS loved make up. But about a year ago I started to notice the fine lines, etc. I’ve truly been blessed with very nice skin (even at 53), but started to realize that I needed to change my make up application game. Slowly, I have been trying to re-learn new techniques and application. My biggest (and only) problem is my under eyes.
And I have to admit, I WAS a bit confused about powders because I’ve never had to use them in the past because again I’ve been blessed with nice skin.
I can’t thank you enough for specifying the difference between powders and realize now that I need to get a finishing powder as I have a setting powder already.
You are the best! Thank you so much for the info, step by step, it was VERY helpful!!
Thank you for your reply! I hope it helped you! :)
OH MY GOSH. i tried this technic this morning. including applying the setting powder with a sponge. than finishing powder at the end.
i love the results. you are my hero.
thank you for doing these types of videoa. ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Thanks for this enlightening video!!! I am also confused about these 2 powders and what are the purpose. Today, finally I understand and this brings me to another level of my make up. Thanks dear
Great video! Definitely going to try this technique
Eye makeup looks great.
Thanks so much. This answered questions I have had for a long time. Looking forward to seeing your video on which powders you recommend.
I'm so glad it helped!
Thank you for your tutorial. I was very confused on the difference between setting and finishing powder. You cleared this up for me. 😊
Informative and helpful. Thank you!
Finally got around to watching this video. I use setting sprays and they do dry out my skin. Will be moving to a finishing power! Thanks for the informative video! xx
Haven’t tried a lot of new finishing powders lately, but my go to for about 3 years has been Bare Minerals mineral veil original.
This is outstanding info!
Thank you so much for this video it has helped me tremendously I tried it and it does work thank you thank you thank you you’re the best
This video is s helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi Stephanie, I just love your videos. Very informative. I had no clue about the differences between all the powders. Learned a ton & just ordered a few powders. Thank you, Liz
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Liz!
Absolutely love you and your video content. You did such a good job explaining finishing and setting powders. Thank you so much I will watch the other ones that you mentioned so that I can further understand and correctly execute longer lasting makeup. Thank you ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Thank you Chrissy! 😘
Great video Stephanie! Thanks so much for sharing! 😘💋
I was just researching finishing vs setting powders, and here is your video 😃
Thanks Stephanie I'm going to try that Lancome
Been afraid of powder for awhile now. Going to take your application advice and give it a shot. Thank you!
I’ve never heard of Bdellium Tools until now, so I ordered your suggested brush and more, thank you 💜
I have been using the Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting powder, especially for gym days after work.
This was a great video. I learned so much. Thanks.
I’ve puzzled over this. Thank you!❤️👍
I have tried the Lancôme and the Mac Studio Fix. Both leave my skin creases and cakey. The NYX HD Finishing powder is pure silica and the lightest I have found. I use it for both setting and finishing and I’ve found anything better!!
I've found that setting with a damp sponge works beautifully for me. If I don't do it may makeup runs off in around 3 hours. I dab my face several times between corrector, concealer, foundation, and powder. It's a must for me.
I wanted to say my mother really went to town with the powder as I remember. She had a huge bath powder puff she applied it with liberally! I was born in 1959 and she was 1933 I believe and modeled in her 20's. I recall her telling me as a teenager to get a compact and powder my 🐽👃 nose that it's very important!
My new favorite finishing powder is the Nikkia Joy Velvet Finishing Powder! Applied with a damp sponge it is amazing and smells fantastic!
My fav setting powder is Nikkia Joy and my fav finishing powder is either Charlotte Tillbury Luminous Light or the new No7 powder (lift & luminate.)
thanks v much for explaining so well. im in my forties, i understood primers very easily n wow they make a big difference, thanks for explaining these new terms, im just use to cream/liquid foundation and then loose powder over it, no terms of setting nor finishing, just loose powder or compact powder n i was getting really confused by the terms setting and finishing.
Ooh can you do a tutorial on your eye makeup? It’s so pretty! I have been using Laura mercier translucent loose setting powder to set and bare minerals perfecting powder, it’s the pressed one, as a finishing powder. I like to use well rested under my eyes, but I’m not sure if that is a setting powder or not so I still use my loose powder to set.
Thanks so much for explaining the difference of the 2 powders and their use.
I saw this when it was posted and I had to send you a mssg about what I have discovered. Since your makeup advice hasn’t steered me wrong before , I decided to drop my previous hangup w finishing powder and try again. I have dry skin and I am over 40 and I have used in past and found it to be aging. I was holding onto Mac Mineralized skin finish in Medium bc I heard great reviews and knew since I hated it I had to be doing it wrong LOL. I have other powders too. After following yr tips and most importantly adding more moisturizer ..which seems to solve everything (light layers) U ARE RIGHT!!!! My makeup stays on perfectly around my nose and everywhere now!! Even when I need to wear a mask at store due to outbreak..blows my mind. 🤗Thank you so much ..People don’t realize how much little things like this change the way you see yourself and your whole day. My make up looks diffused and really pretty now it was the thing that was missing. I don’t just add more moisturizer ..I have miist that I use and serum’s and take good care of my skin but everything comes out just beautifully now. I had to share that w you. Thank you so much. You are 1st you tuber I have followed since I started trying to figure out makeup a few yrs ago and I appreciate you sharing all that you know. All the best.. ty😊
That's great Kristen! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!! 💞
Thanks Stephanie!
My 2 favorite setting loose powders are TF born this way and Cover Fx, my my favorite finishing powder is N0 7 lift laminate pressed powder.😉
Thank you so much for these tips! I have been using a brush for under eye setting & it was not working. The damp beauty blender is so much better!
Hi Stephanie, 58 with oily combo skin, I have lots of powders and have almost every powder you have recommended, high and low end. Love the Charlotte Tilbury and my most used is IT Bye Bye Pores (loose and pressed) with the IT Ball Wand brush. I have an irrational fear of application of setting powder with a damp sponge. Will definitely try today. Question, looks fine with loose powder in a cap but will a damp sponge ruin your pressed powders??
Great tips ty beauty 💕
I like to wear a powder foundation and use a finishing powder over that love your skin looks amazing loving the eye look 😊
