If Your Skin Gets Shiny Midday
You know you're not supposed to touch your face, but let's be real, we're all doing it. In fact, CoverGirl found that women touch their face 500 times (!) per day. Enter this new compact with touch-proof technology that ensures the mattifying powder stays on your face and won't come off on your fingers. Special binders in the formula lock the powder in place so that shine can't break through (i.e. no need for a 3pm touch-up), plus, it's also water-resistant.

If You Want to Fake a Filter
Dusting on this powder before you take your next selfie is actually faster than having to find the right Snap or Insta filter. It minimizes the look of lines, wrinkles, pores and other selfie-saboteurs, and has a cushiony feel that hugs your skin without ever feeling like it's going to dry up and crack. Swipe it on with a fluffy brush for a sheer coating or buff into your skin with a sponge if you want a little more.

If You Have Prominent Dark Circles
Powder used to be a major no-no under your eyes; after all, that's where there are often lots of wrinkles that it can settle into. Not anymore, thanks to this formula, specially made to be used under the eyes to set concealer and hide those lines, rather than accentuate them. (Credit micro-blurring technology, which makes skin look silky smooth.) Available in three shades -- a yellow, pink, and peach -- this does double duty as a color corrector too, neutralizing dark circles and making you look bright-eyed and wide-awake, no matter how late you were up the night before.

If You Have to Get Ready for a Close-Up
This brand led the way in creating makeup for HDTV (you know, where you can see everrrry little flaw), so you know they know what's up. Their latest microfinishing powder is a new and improved take on the cult classic. It leaves skin looking and feeling velvety, but also contains a special type of silicone to diffuse light and reduce the risk of reflection from a camera flash, whether it comes from the paparazzi or your front-facing iPhone.

If You Prefer Radiant Skin
The shade name of this silky powder is Golden Hour... enough said. Ceramic microspheres diffuse and scatter light, blurring away imperfections and leaving your complexion looking exactly like it does at that magic time of day right before the sun sets. And not only does it set makeup, it also works equally well to refresh your look, making it choice to brush on when you need to go right from your desk to a night out.
