12. RCMA No Colour Powder
A setting powder will lock and set all that makeup you just slathered on. We suggest using a loose powder to set your under eyes and your T-zone. A good way to ensure you get zero flashback from any setting powder is by using a damp sponge to press the powder into your skin. Let it sit for a minute and brush off any excess. You can also top it off with a makeup setting spray to ensure the powder melts into your skin. Remember, avoid cake-face by using setting powder sparingly.
