These loose powders are great for reducing shine, minimizing creases, and keeping makeup in place, without any caking.

Mask-wearing today comes with a whole bevy of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-treat-prevent-maskne-acne-from-wearing-masks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare</a> problems: increased oil and sweat, smearing of foundation on our masks, and so on. Luckily, there's a simple solution: loose powder. Wearing loose powders on top of our <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-foundations-dry-skin-winter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foundation</a> or creams helps reduce the friction and creases between face masks and our skin, making the transference of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/makeup-trends-2021-graphic-liner-color-mascara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">makeup</a> onto our masks less likely to happen, keeping our face looking put together for longer. Loose powders are also lighter and contain fewer oils than pressed powders, making them less likely to appear overly thick and cakey over the skin.&nbsp;
However, not all loose powders are made the same. Ahead, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up the best lightweight loose powders for an airbrushed finish; great for reducing shine, minimizing creases, and keeping makeup in place.

This loose powder from Bskin comes infused with skin-loving, sustainably sourced bee actives&mdash;royal jelly and honey, and titanium dioxide for UV filter protection. Simply dab on with its pad or a kabuki brush as the final step in your skincare routine for a luminous, even-toned complexion and velvety-matte texture without clogging pores.
