Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous-owned brand I'd been wanting to try, and their Moon Dust Mattifying Powder ($32 CAD) turned out to be exactly the finishing touch my combination skin needed. It's a finely milled translucent powder built to set makeup without adding cakey texture.
A light dusting with a fluffy brush sets my T-zone without disturbing foundation underneath. The powder is genuinely translucent - no ashy cast, no flashback in photos, which is where a lot of setting powders fail me.
Through a full workday my oily zones stayed controlled, and one midday touch-up was enough to keep everything looking fresh. It layers well for touch-ups without building up visibly.
Pros: True translucent finish, no flashback, good oil control, supports an Indigenous-owned brand giving back to community causes.
Cons: Priced in CAD so US shoppers should check conversion, packaging is compact for the price.
