Top 10 Under-Eye Setting Powders

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Regular setting powder can be too heavy for the under-eye area, but this reviewer-favorite formula is super lightweight and virtually undetectable under the eyes. It has a delicate, silky texture that visibly blurs fine lines and imperfections, plus light-reflecting properties that deliver a luminous, lifted effect. Bye-bye, dark circles.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: This under-eye setting powder is non-comedogenic, so it's great for those with breakout-prone skin.

WHO IT'S FOR: Formulated to provide up to 10 hours of wear and no flashback in photos, this loose powder is a must-have for those who prefer to use the baking technique. Thanks to neutral undertones, it delivers a flawless, brightened finish that enhances every skin tone and complexion.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: Available in a mini and full-sized option, this baking powder offers a lightweight, silky texture that melts into the skin and adds just a hint of sheen for a luminous finish.

WHAT IT DOES: Formulated with rose wax and almond oil for an extra hydrating touch, this skincare-makeup mashup blurs imperfections and visibly reduces shine while improving the complexion over time. Genius, huh?

USER REVIEW: "Omg, do not pass go. Buy it now! This product dusts on so perfectly and so evenly. I use it all over my face, but I also use it as a primer on my eyes and to help cover up the dark circles in the corners of my eyes. This is definitely a luxury product that’s both worth the hype and money. This is my new go-to setting powder."

WHO IT'S FOR: Suffer from oily, breakout-prone skin? Look no further. Sure, most under-eye powders will keep oil under control to an extent, but this formula means business. A single sweep of the smooth, translucent powder is all it takes to set makeup and expertly absorb shine for hours—all without leaving that dreaded white reside.

USER REVIEW: "This is MUST in my arsenal! It’s invisible, but it sets one’s makeup perfectly and it's great for dusting over a makeup-less face to add a touch of polish."

WHAT IT DOES: Milled to superfine, silky perfection, this setting powder works to extend the longevity of your makeup look and blur the appearance of imperfections. Available in eight inclusive shades, the formula resists flashback and delivers a bright, smooth, shine-free complexion.

USER REVIEW: "The formula for this powder is incredible. I have very oily skin and was nervous to try it. The powder absorbs any excess oil and keeps my makeup in place for hours. I love the way it brightens my under eyes, and even the smell is great! Highly recommend."

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: In Selena's words, she wanted to create something that "performed like a setting powder but acted like skin." Long story short, she succeeded. According to the reviews (the vast majority of them being five stars), this stuff practically disappears into the skin but keeps concealer from budging for hours on end.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: Available in five shades from light to deep, this setting powder is an excellent option for all-over application.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: According to rave reviews, this formula is a total dupe for the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. The cult favorite is beloved for its ability to beautifully lock down foundation without caking or creasing—even on the under-eye area. Coty Airspun is a close rival and rings up under $10.

HELPFUL TIP: If it's a little too lightweight for your liking, go with the Extra Coverage version.

WHO IT'S FOR: If your skin is super dry and you've pretty much given up on finding a setting powder that doesn't exacerbate the problem, go ahead and end your search here. Ilia's Soft Focus formula is made with aloe, rosemary, and oil-balancing bamboo to hydrate the skin while it keeps makeup in place.

USER REVIEW: "Wow! I’ve tried them all, and this is hands down the best setting powder. It blurs out your pores and sinks right into your skin. It's so brightening and makes your skin look hydrated. Go out and get it. I 100% recommend this."

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: It doesn’t get much dreamier than a setting powder that goes on like a mousse, blends down to a barely there texture that feels light as air, and tones down shine without taking away glow. Plus, the formula is enriched with plant oils and floral extracts that both nourish and improve the overall complexion.

APPLICATION TIP: Use this just about anywhere on the face to refresh makeup through the day, but apply it with a foundation brush for the most even coverage.

WHAT IT DOES: This talc-free formula has light-reflecting pigments that brighten, lighten, and create serious luminosity. Soft and weightless, it won't ever settle into fine lines, accentuate shadows, or build up on the skin. Consider it your fave Insta filter IRL.
