Why We Picked This Tower 28 GetSet Matte Powder Blush
- It’s the brand’s first-ever setting powder blush, combining setting powder benefits with pigmented color in one product rather than requiring a separate setting step
- The talc-free formula uses water-repelling silica and shine-control power for 12-hour wear that holds through sweat and sun
- It’s non-comedogenic, derm-approved, and formulated specifically for sensitive or blemish-prone skin, with no pearlescence or shimmer that can highlight texture

Pros and Cons
Pros
- 12-hour, sweat-proof wear backed by a talc-free, silica-based formula
- Doubles as a setting powder and blush, blurring pores while delivering color
- Non-comedogenic and derm-approved, formulated for sensitive and blemish-prone skin
- True matte finish with no shimmer to highlight texture
Cons
- The matte finish won’t suit anyone specifically looking for a dewy or shimmery blush look
- At $22.00 for 1.13 oz, it’s priced above typical drugstore powder blush options, though it functions as two products in one
How It Works and What to Expect
Swept on as the final step in a makeup routine, this blurring powder blush works like a setting powder first, smoothing texture and minimizing the look of pores before the richly pigmented color settles in for a fade-proof, sweat-proof finish. The talc-free formula relies on water-repelling silica to hold color and shine control through a full 12-hour day, whether that means heat, sun, or general daily wear. Because it skips pearlescence and shimmer entirely, the matte finish reads as smooth, soft-focus skin rather than drawing attention to texture. For extra color payoff, it also layers well over the brand’s BeachPlease Cream Blush.
Best For: Look and Use Case
- Sensitive or blemish-prone skin needing a non-comedogenic, derm-approved blush
- Hot, humid, or active days where 12-hour sweat-proof wear matters
- Anyone wanting a true matte finish without shimmer or shine
- Makeup routines wanting a combined setting powder and blush step
- All skin tones, given the range of available shades
Quick Q&A
Is this blush safe for sensitive or blemish-prone skin? Yes, it’s non-comedogenic and derm-approved, specifically formulated to be safe for all skin types including sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
Will this blush hold up through sweat or a hot day? Yes, the talc-free formula uses water-repelling silica and shine-control power designed for 12-hour wear through sweat, sun, and daily activity.
Does this powder blush have any shimmer or shine? No, it’s a true matte formula with no pearlescence, sheen, or shimmer, since those can highlight rather than smooth skin texture.
How to Use and Care Tip
Sweep the shade onto cheeks with a fluffy brush as the final step in your makeup routine, or layer it over BeachPlease Cream Blush first to set your look and boost overall color payoff. For the most even application, tap off excess powder from the brush before blending to avoid applying too much pigment at once.
