4 Editors Test Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Setting Powder

“I have a setting powder that I absolutely love, and I’ve been going steady with it for months (maybe even a year?). Ever since I added it to my makeup collection, I haven’t strayed from it — that is, until I got my hands on the Makeup by Mario setting powder. I was lucky enough to get a preview of the new launch before it came out, and instantly, I knew my old favorite would have some competition. I was first blown away by the shade range; with seven hues, there’s truly an option for all skin tones, which you don’t often see with a setting powder. The texture is also incredibly soft, and the fine powder melts seamlessly over makeup to blur discoloration, lines, and texture. I found that applying it with a puff allows for smooth, targeted application under my eyes and on my T-zone, keeping the rest of my face dewy and glowing, which is exactly how I like my makeup.” — Jessica Harrington, senior beauty editor
