The newest addition to [Kosas'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kosas-blush-is-life) tinted skin-care lineup is the Cloud Set Setting Powder, an [ultra-fine pressed powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-glow-powder-filter) that's super soft, sheer and smoothing. Packed with skincare actives, the pressed powder promises to create "real-life dream skin" in a way that feels comfortable and takes away shine.

To make the most of the product, consumers are encouraged to use a tapered brush to sweep the product across high points like the forehead, cheeks and nose, or other spots as needed. Some of the key ingredients in the formula include shine-reducing bamboo stem extract, passionfruit leaf extract and Chinese peony to minimize the appearance of pores. Available in light shades like Airy and Breeze, as well as deep Velvety and [Dreamy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop), Kosas' Cloud Set Setting Powder is said to help create "actual angel skin."
