All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder does two jobs at once: it finishes the complexion matte and it turns the foundation underneath it waterproof. Translucent and weightless, it controls shine and oil for up to 11 hours by the brand's account — which is the part that matters in Egyptian heat.

What it actually does

• Makes foundation waterproof. Urban Decay's claim is that buffing this over your base locks it against water, tears and sweat.
• Holds shine down for up to 11 hours. Oil control across a full day, so there is no mid-afternoon reapplication.
• Mattifies without flattening you. The brand says it blocks shine while leaving natural glow intact rather than dulling the skin.
• Blurs pores and texture. A soft-focus finish over imperfections.
• Translucent and weightless. No colour to match, no heavy powdery layer.
• Extends the life of your base, including in hot climates, per Urban Decay.
• Vegan and cruelty-free, as listed by the brand.

How to use

1. Apply your foundation and concealer first and let them settle for a moment.
2. Buff the powder over the top. Work it into the skin rather than dusting it on — that is what locks the coverage in.
3. Layer with setting spray for more staying power. Urban Decay suggests finishing with the All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray.

Questions

Does it leave a white cast?

It is a translucent, weightless powder, so there is no shade to match. Buff it in properly rather than packing it on and it should finish invisibly.

Can I use it without foundation?

Urban Decay positions it as a step that goes over your base and extends its wear. You can use it alone for shine control, but the waterproofing claim is specifically about what it does to the foundation beneath it.

Will it hold up in summer heat?

The brand specifically mentions hot climates and says the powder keeps makeup in place through crying, sweating and getting wet for up to 11 hours. Individual results depend on your skin and the day.
