You probably see the terms setting powder , baking powder and fixing powder often. But, what is the difference between these powders..?

What is the difference between these powders?

A setting powder lives up to its name: it sets your makeup, so to speak. After you have applied your foundation , apply a setting powder over your entire face so that your base stays where it belongs. A setting powder prevents your foundation from settling into the lines or smudging.

A baking powder is actually the same as a setting powder. It is called differently, because the technique of how you apply the powder can differ. With baking, you apply a thick layer of powder to your skin, which you let soak in for a few minutes. So, a baking powder also ensures that your make-up stays perfect all day long, without pulling into the lines!

And finally, we have the Fixing Powder. Perhaps no longer surprising: but this powder also ensures that your make-up stays in place like a house. You even have waterproof versions of this powder, so that you can brave a rain shower without any trouble.

The difference is...

Actually nothing! Everyone calls the powder something else, but we all mean the same thing: a powder that you apply over foundation to make sure your make-up doesn't smudge or settle into the lines.
