What the gurus are saying

This powder gets praise for not creasing, particularly under the eyes where other setting powders often settle into fine lines and can look cakey or obvious. It mattifies shine without heavy coverage, which makes it work well on days people want minimal makeup; some use it solo over sunscreen. It comes in multiple shades, including options for darker skin tones.

"A lot of people probably use it around the under eye area to brighten it, but I use it there and all over my entire face. [...] It's really nice. It does a nice job mattifying. Sometimes if I just put sunscreen on, it looks a little oily or shiny and I don't want a lot of makeup, I'll just put this over it to kind of mattify things. It's really nice and it works nicely over your entire face as well."

"Throwing the Tarte [...] Creaseless setting powder on. [...] Got that on. So far, I think it looks pretty good for using skincare products that I don't typically use."

Morning Skincare & Makeup Routine - Fall Skincare - Dry, Sensitive, Hyperpigmented Skin

"I also got this from Tarte a while ago, the Creaseless Brightening and Setting Powder for under eyes so I'm going to put that under my eyes so they don't get too shiny looking. It's just kind of a little powder, or people that would do the baking thing or whatever, but it's too complicated for me."

Morning Skincare & Makeup Routine for Summer - Dry and Sensitive Skin

"I've been using this one from Tarte a lot. It's their creaseless setting powder. It's typically meant to use under the eye area. It feels nice. I do like it, but I have a feeling they're going to discontinue it at some point."

Anti-Aging Morning Routine - New Skincare from Numbuzin, Nano Recipe! Body Care Hydrating Products

"I've been using this Tarte Creaseless Powder, the pink shade, as a setting powder around my eyes because my eyes are getting very crinkly looking. I'm using my laser and things like that to help with that, but they are looking kind of crinkly. I assume you could probably just use this over your entire face, but they kind of give you this thing that's kind of meant to be for your eyes. [...] This would probably take me five years to finish if I just used it there."

"Lately I've been playing around a lot with the Tarte creaseless powder. I'm going to put a little bit of the Tarte creaseless powder under my eyes."

"Lately I've been really liking this Tarte Creaseless Brightening and Setting Powder in the shade pink. It comes with a little tiny applicator. [...] It comes in a nice little container like this so you can just shut it, so if you travel it doesn't get everywhere."

"I like the Tarte Creaseless Powder. That one was probably the only one I've tried that has made it look not worse than it did before I used it."

"I'm using the Tarte [...] Creaseless setting powder. I have a lot of setting powders that I like, and I think this one might do the trick a little bit better than the other setting powders I use because it's just so shiny."

"Another one that I really like is the Tarte Creaseless Powder. This one comes in shades as well. And this one comes in shades from like pink and banana and translucent to really really dark. So if you have really dark complexion, they have a setting powder that you can use that won't look white on your skin or give you flashback in photos. I'm wearing this one today and this is the pink version."
