Having long-lasting makeup is easy and you don’t always need a can of setting spray for it. You can simply turn to your trusty loose powder.

You may have seen beauty vloggers who constantly bake and set their face to get that flawless look. More than that, a container of translucent powder can also highlight certain areas of your face to make your lipstick last longer. It’s just a matter of knowing which product would work best for what you need.

To keep shine away: Cover FX Illuminating Setting Powder

As mentioned earlier, applying a thin layer of powder on your lips before applying lipstick will make it last longer. Into the Gloss recommends the Make Up Forever HD High Definition Powder as it can mattify and set the hue. This will also prevent the lipstick from transferring while you’re drinking a latte. Available at SM Megamall.
