Hourglass did it again. Soft-focus skin, zero effort, all glam.
Hourglass never misses, and this new Hourglass Soft Matte Setting Powder is no exception. From the luxury compact to the blurred-skin finish—it’s flawless. I’m calling it now: this is hands-down one of my top setting powders of the year.
Let’s talk about that compact first—quiet luxury vibes all the way. Sleek, clean, and just so satisfying to pull out of your bag. Total showstopper.
Now the formula? Chef’s kiss.
No powdery finish, no cakiness. Just a smooth, soft-matte look that makes your pores disappear and your skin look naturally flawless. It’s giving “I was born with good skin”, not “I spent 45 minutes on my makeup.”
And yes, it actually holds up throughout the day—even on combo or oily skin.
What I love most? It’s so easy to use.
No fancy brush, no special technique—just dab it on with the puff and boom: airbrushed skin. You can layer it, touch up anytime, and it still won’t look heavy or dry.
On good skin days, I literally just do skincare + this powder.
On workdays, a light base plus this, and I’m out the door. Either way, the finish is always clean, soft, and expensive-looking.
I’ve tried many setting powders, but few feel this lightweight while still blurring imperfections so effectively.
If you’re into that effortless, elevated, rich-but-minimal makeup look—this one’s for you.
Go get it before it sells out. I’m already thinking of buying a backup.
