Quality & Safety
All SHEGLAM products undergo dermatological testing and comply with FDA cosmetic safety standards. Setting powders are formulated to be non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin. The Insta-Ready Duo's waterproof, pore-minimizing formula is designed to set makeup without drying the skin. For best longevity results, apply setting powder with a damp beauty sponge using the "press and roll" technique rather than sweeping with a brush, which can disturb the foundation beneath.
