Tinted Powder: Matte vs. Glow Finish — Which Formula Fits Your Brand?

Tinted Powder: A Versatile Essential in Modern Makeup

Tinted powders have become essential for consumers seeking natural coverage, smoother skin texture, and convenient everyday makeup. As a professional cosmetic OEM/ODM factory, we offer fully customizable tinted powders in both matte and glow finishes, helping brands create complexion products that match different market trends and audience preferences.

What Is Tinted Powder?

Tinted powder is a face powder with added color pigments that help:

• Even out skin tone

• Control shine

• Set foundation

• Blur pores and fine lines

• Deliver light, breathable coverage

Tinted powders are available in loose, pressed, and baked formats, each of which can be adjusted for coverage, texture, and finish based on your brand positioning.

Matte Tinted Powder: Oil Control & Shine-Free Finish

A matte tinted powder is ideal for consumers who prefer a smooth, velvety, shine-free complexion.

Key Benefits:

• Excellent oil control

• Soft-focus effect to blur pores

• Long-lasting matte finish

• Suitable for oily and combination skin

• Perfect for humid or hot climates

Our OEM formula can be customized with:

• Oil-absorbing minerals

• Talc-free or clean beauty options

• Extra-fine milling for ultra-smooth texture

• Anti-caking technology to prevent patchiness

This finish works well for brands targeting professional makeup, oil-control skincare, or long-wear beauty markets.

Glow Tinted Powder: Radiance & Natural Luminosity

A glow tinted powder provides a healthy, luminous finish without heavy shimmer. It enhances the skin with a natural radiance while maintaining breathable comfort.

Key Benefits:

• Soft, subtle glow

• Healthy and brightened complexion

• Hydrating or satin formulas available

• Suitable for dry and normal skin

• Ideal for trends like “clean girl makeup” and “no-makeup makeup”

Our glow formulas can incorporate:

• Light-diffusing pearls

• Hydrating agents like hyaluronic acid

• Mineral pigments for clean beauty positioning

• Sheer or buildable coverage

Brands can choose between dewy, satin, or luminous matte finishes.
