My combination skin gets shiny by noon no matter what I do, so I tried Cheekbone Beauty's Moon Dust Mattifying Powder to see if it could hold up through a full workday.
Priced at $49, this loose setting powder is finely milled and leaves a soft-focus, blurred finish without looking cakey or dry - something a lot of mattifying powders get wrong.
I set my makeup with it in the morning and checked in throughout the day - my T-zone stayed noticeably more matte through the afternoon compared to going without a setting powder at all.
Pros: Blurs pores without looking dry, controls shine through the day, finely milled with no visible cast on darker skin tones, Indigenous woman-owned brand.
Cons: Premium price for a setting powder; a little goes a long way so over-application can look chalky.
A genuinely effective mattifying powder from a brand worth supporting. Shop it here: Cheekbone Beauty Moon Dust.
