For A Natural Finish

Hitting the sweet spot between matte and glowy, Gucci Beauty’s Poudre De Beauté Mat Naturel ($95) gently blurs imperfections while imparting oh-so-natural radiance. Emollient agents ensure it feels velvety on skin, yet is never heavy or cakey, making for wearable, buildable coverage.

For Infinite Radiance

A melange of its Ambient Lighting Powders and its Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder, Hourglass’s Ambient Lighting Infinity Powder ($84) captures, diffuses and softens surrounding light to hide blemishes, as well as refine and brighten the complexion for a youthful luminescence.

For A Brightening Boost

The makeup-skincare hybrid that is Dior’s Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact ($100) tackles tonal and textural irregularities with brightening and hydrating edelweiss extract, and white micro pearls to neutralise yellow tones.

For Fresh Vitality

Get a healthy sun-kissed glow with Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder ($89)—a winning combination of radiance-giving pearly particles and ceramic powder, and botanical extracts that soothe and protect skin from pollution and ultraviolet damage.

For A Golden Glow

Add warmth to skin with Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Power ($70) in Translucent Honey, which also tones down redness. Offering supreme shine control, it gives a soft-focus effect for clearer, smoother and overall better skin.
