Cloud Set Loose Powder Translucent Setting + Blurring Powder

Kosas Cloud Set Loose Powder is a talc-free translucent powder built to do two jobs — set makeup and soften the look of pores and fine lines — without turning your face chalky. Kosas positions it as a 12-hour setter that takes down shine while leaving your glow alone, and it bakes as happily as it sets. The finish is natural rather than flat.

Format	Loose powder, ultra-translucent
Finish	Natural — airbrushed rather than matte-flat

Free from	Talc · animal ingredients (vegan) · gluten · animal testing

What it actually does

• Sets makeup for a full day. Kosas says it is clinically proven to hold makeup in place for 12 hours, which is the whole point of reaching for a loose powder.
• Blurs instead of covering. The brand's claim is that it visibly softens pores and fine lines for a smoother look — it blurs, it is not extra coverage.
• Handles oil with bamboo stem extract. Kosas credits this ingredient with absorbing excess sebum so skin stays feeling fresh rather than slick.
• Brightens without killing the glow. Kosas is specific here: it sweeps away shine, not glow, so you don't end up looking dulled down.
• No flashback. The brand states the formula avoids that white cast in flash photos — useful if you're being photographed at weddings and events.
• Talc-free and tested for sensitive skin. Kosas lists it as hypoallergenic, dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, safe around the eyes, and clinically shown not to clog pores or trigger breakouts.
• Vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, in recyclable packaging, per the brand.

Tested results (brand studies)

• In a Kosas consumer perception study of 30 people after one day of use, 100% agreed it was the best loose setting powder they had tried, and 100% agreed it quickly brightened skin and made it look airbrushed.
• In a Kosas clinical measurement study using a Sebumeter on 34 people — immediately, then at 2 and 4 weeks — 100% of subjects showed a measured reduction in oil.

How to use

To set

1. Take a fluffy powder brush and dust a thin layer across the whole face.
2. Spend a little longer wherever oil usually breaks through first.
3. For tight spots like the under-eye, a small detail brush gives you more control.

To bake

1. Load a powder puff and lay down a thick layer over the areas that crease or go shiny.
2. Leave it sitting for a few minutes.
3. Brush the excess away.

Questions

Will it look white on deeper skin tones?

Kosas describes the powder as ultra-translucent and states it does not cause flashback in photos. It is designed to disappear rather than add a shade, so it is not meant to leave a grey or ashy cast — but as with any translucent powder, apply in thin layers and build.

Can I use it around my eyes?

Yes — the brand lists it as ophthalmologist-tested and safe for the eye area and for sensitive skin. A small brush helps you place it precisely under the eye without over-powdering.

Is it safe if I break out easily?

Kosas says it is clinically shown not to clog pores or cause breakouts. That is the brand's claim, not a guarantee for every skin — if you are highly reactive, try it on a smaller area for a few days first.

What's the difference between setting and baking with it?

Setting is a light all-over dust with a brush to lock makeup down. Baking is a heavy layer left to sit for a few minutes on creasing or oily zones before you sweep it off — it gives a stronger hold in those specific spots. The same powder does both.

How long does delivery take, and how do I pay?
