Let’s talk about face powder. The mattifying on-the-go solution—recently exiled to the backs of medicine cabinets to make way for more glow-y, less cakey complexions—is now making a comeback. But these are no dusty, dated compact formulas: Featherweight, filled with breakthrough technology, and made to be flawlessly executed in the back of an Uber, the season’s newest products are designed to minimize shine, conceal pores, and even heal acne—while somehow remaining invisible on skin. From a revolutionary powder that turns into a glow-inducing fluid on contact with skin to an oil-absorbing all-natural veil, here are seven new formulas to stock up on now.
