They say: A mattifying loose powder from Benefit that features upsalite to mattify and mineral-rich kaolin clay to help absorb oil on the skin’s surface. The superfine powder sets makeup while reducing the appearance of pores for a perfect, smudge-proof and sweatproof finish.

We say: Our tester applied this loose powder to areas prone to shine, primarily in the T-zone. With a weightless feel, it instantly gave a matte finish that stayed shine-free throughout the day.

$50 | Sephora

They say: An earthy, herbaceous new fragrance from The Maker that features mangosteen, plumeria and patchouli leaves.

We say: This fragrance is like a lush Italian holiday in a bottle, our tester reports. The blood orange and Italian bergamot, which join the aforementioned mangosteen in the fragrance’s top notes, played prominently on our tester’s skin. While the earthy base notes of oakmoss, Moroccan cedarwood and patchouli helped to add an element of depth to the overall scent. Fruity and earthy, the long-wearing scent is delightful.

$236 for 50 mL | Sephora
