Lottie London Ready Set! Go in True Translucent Setting Powder
Our editorial score, out of 10
“A properly translucent setting powder at a price where that's usually the first corner cut.”
At a glance
Our verdict
A genuinely translucent setting powder — no white cast in flash photography, which is where most budget powders fail. It's finely milled enough to bake under the eyes without settling into texture, and it takes down shine without flattening a dewy base completely. Use a damp sponge for a locked-in matte or a fluffy brush for a soft blur. Comfortable enough that you forget it's on.
What stands out
- No white cast under flash — the failure point for most budget translucent powders, and this one clears it.
- Fine enough to bake under the eyes without settling into texture or creasing the concealer beneath it.
- Takes down shine without killing dew, so a glowy base still looks glowy after setting.
Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Genuinely translucent in photographs
- Comfortable enough to forget you're wearing it
- Works for both baking and light setting
- Won't flatten a dewy base
✗ Cons
- Loose powder is messy to travel with
- Not enough coverage to work as a powder foundation
How to use it
Damp sponge, pressed and rolled, for a locked-in matte finish. Fluffy brush, swept lightly, for a soft blur that keeps the glow. Bake under the eyes for two minutes then dust off.
Who should skip it
Anyone who wants a portable touch-up powder — this is a loose format, so a pressed powder is more practical for a handbag.
The bottom line
A properly translucent setting powder at a price where that's usually the first corner cut.
