The creation of makeup setting powder is a game-changer...until you step into a photo with the flash on and end up looking like you have ghostly eyes.
As someone of Mexican descent with medium-tan skin, especially in the summer when I'm soaking up the sun, I have to be cautious with translucent powders. They can easily make me look washed out and unnatural. Not a good look! That's why I prefer setting powders with a tint.
It's time to ditch your chalky powders because THIS Buttercup loose setting powder ($22) is here to rescue us from flashback and makeup that fades too quickly.
The powder is available in three shades: Buttercup, Buttercup Light, and transparent. If you prefer translucent powders, there's still a fantastic option for you. The Buttercup shades have a yellow undertone that blends seamlessly with darker skin tones and prevents flashback.
Additionally, it's cruelty-free! As with any skincare product, always do a patch test to ensure it works well with your skin before full application.
It’s perfect for keeping makeup intact, controlling shine, enhancing highlights, defining contours, and baking — so you can achieve all your makeup goals effortlessly.
To "bake" with this powder, generously apply Buttercup to the areas you want to highlight (*after* foundation/concealer) and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Then, gently brush off the excess with a foundation brush, and there you have it — your makeup is perfectly set and will stay fresh for hours.
And let me tell you, this product delivers. For instance, this powder boasts a 4.4-star rating with over 2,500 reviews. Imagine alllll those people taking the time to rave about how incredible it is!
"As someone obsessed with YouTube beauty tutorials, I’ve mastered using Sacha Buttercup powder by applying it generously with a mini BeautyBlender to my oiliest areas: under my eyes, cheeks, forehead, nose bridge, and chin. After letting it sit for five minutes, I brush it off with a fluffy foundation brush. This method works wonders, and I give the product five stars. My skin is extremely oily, but my makeup stays flawless all day without sliding off (it used to melt away before I discovered Sacha Buttercup). Even when I blot midday, it still performs perfectly." —Islas Virgenes
Let’s see this product in action, shall we? Wow. Just WOW:
"OMG!!!!!!!!!!! This product completely transformed my everyday makeup routine. No more creases under my eyes, which I usually get with just concealer. No harsh lines or uneven blending. Even with the best techniques, some products just don’t blend well, but this one is vibrant and flawless! It doesn’t leave my skin looking dull or ashy. THIS is a game-changer and a MUST for anyone with melanin-rich skin." —K.p.
I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT THIS.
"I purchased this powder after hearing it has no flashback (perfect for photo lovers) and works wonders for women of color. I’m thrilled to say it lives up to the hype! It’s lightweight, doesn’t cake, and stands up to bright flashes. I’m obsessed!" —Fatima
And check this out! Even under different lighting with the flash on, there’s absolutely NO flashback with this product.
"I initially tried banana powder, but it didn’t work for me. As someone with light brown skin, THIS (Buttercup) IS INCREDIBLE!!!! In my opinion, it’s far superior to Ben Nye. It’s rich, blends effortlessly, and doesn’t give me that ashy look or terrible flashback, even with my Lumee case. It’s perfect for baking and blending. I highly recommend it!!!! My Instagram pics @parislavet look amazing thanks to this powder lol." —P. Lavet
Teach. Me. Your. Magic.
"I ran out of my Ben Nye powder, but it turned out to be a blessing because I got to try this! The Sacha powder has a slightly warmer tone, which suits my skin much better. It’s incredibly smooth and never cakes. I apply it with my BeautyBlender, and it works like a dream. This is definitely staying in my makeup collection!" —Amber Duncan
I can’t stop scrolling through the reviewer photos because everyone looks absolutely stunning.
