Real Techniques
Setting Brush
Small and fluffy, which is exactly what an under-eye needs: enough powder to stop creasing, nowhere near enough to sit in the fine lines.
Worth knowing. Tap the brush out hard before it touches your face. Almost all under-eye cakiness is too much powder rather than the wrong powder.
One brush, around $9. The under-eye area, An affordable pick
Real Techniques
Powder Brush
Large and loose, so it deposits a veil rather than a layer. For setting the areas that actually get shiny, which for most people is a band down the centre of the face and nothing else.
Worth knowing. Press and roll rather than sweep. Sweeping powder over wet foundation moves the foundation.
One brush, around $11. A matte finish, An affordable pick
