What's the purpose of transparent powder (makeup)?

and also to hide shine

I think that’s what most powder does anyways aha

yeah but if you want a more natural look like nice skin without obvious makeup

it’s almost like primer, but not as thick or creamy

it helps keep the foundation on your skin and to stop your skin from looking oily or greasy :)

Well you can use it for

• setting the makeup
• absorb oils
• helping to keep the makeup on
• give a more “flawless” finish Thats all I can think of.

• Hide Shine & Oils
• Set Your Foundation
• Tone the color

Skin tone and depending on the powder it can give the face a ‘shine’,

Nononoooo!!! Okay yes it’s supposed to stop you from looking all shiny (which usually doesn’t work on the t-zone), but mainly it stop creasing. I know people said it “sets” your foundation but that’s kind of general =) For instance, underneath my eyes I have tiny little wrinkles (tho I’m 16 lol), and if I just put concealer there, it would have this icky little creased-line by the end of the day where the makeup caked in that area. People also get this problem on smile/laugh lines and sometimes on your chin (depending what your chin looks like ;)). Putting powder of any kind over your foundation stops those annoying little creases from happening.
