There are many ways to eliminate shine on your skin, but if you're looking for an alternative to traditional translucent powder, pink setting powder is a great option.
This powder is exactly what it sounds like; a pink-coloured powder that can be applied to your skin to help oil control and brighten your complexion. In addition, pink setting powders don't have any oil or other ingredients that could clog pores or irritate your skin, and most, like our TikTok viral Vitamin Babe pink powder are talc-free too!
Let's go over some of the benefits of using this alternative to your typical translucent powder:

What is the difference between pink powder and translucent setting powder?
Pink powder helps to brighten under-eyes by colour correcting
Feel a bit daunted and wonder how on earth a pink powder could even be a good option for setting your makeup? Well, pink helps to counteract the darker tones in your under-eyes, helping your makeup appear brighter. Pink powder is particularly great for fair and rosey to medium-toned skin.
How to apply pink setting powder
The best way to use pink powder is to apply it to areas you want to brighten and control oil rather than all over your face. This is often under the eyes and the T-zone. We recommend using a beauty blender or powder puff by gently pressing the product into your skin, letting it sit for a few minutes, and gently brushing off any excess with a fluffy powder brush. Finish your makeup with a setting mist.
We have a guide to setting mists here if you're trying the right one for your skin type.
When to apply pink powder
The best time to apply pink powder is right after you have applied your foundation, concealer and liquid products. Letting it set for a few moments before gently brushing off excess pink powder.
Pink setting powders are especially great if you have oily skin
Pink setting powders are especially perfect if you have oily skin, since many foundations can feel greasy on application, a pink powder helps to seal your foundation in place.
