I just use the shade on the left-hand side of the HG palette as a setting powder; the middle shade is a highlighter, and the shade on the right is a bronzer 🙂 the CT setting powder is still my fave over the HG powder, but I love both. The CT airbrush powder can be used to add coverage to your face, as it’s described as a finishing powder, but it can also be used to set makeup in place, as it helps reduce excess shine. I hope this helps 🙂

also I thought the CR airbrush powder was a medium coverage powder rather than a setting powder?

I hear you. Loose setting powders are great! I do love my Laura Mercier one. It definitely helps to control shine and keep makeup in place. But the Charlotte Tilbury one just feels so weightless once applied. It’s 100% my fave <3

When it comes to choosing the best, I’m always partial to loose setting powder because it offers a lightweight, airbrushed finish that really helps to lock in makeup and control shine. It’s great to see how different brands stack up against each other. I’d love to hear which loose setting powder has been a game-changer for others in this ranking!

It’s honestly like a perfect combo of the Laura M and the Hourglass! Amaaazing!

It has everything in my opinion, so love seeing others agree! What a great list!

It’s a great list. I tend to stay away from powders because my skin is so dry, so this was super helpful.
