Share
Winter makeup can be unpredictable—cold wind outside, dry indoor air, and constant temperature changes all make your makeup separate, smudge, or cling to dry patches.
That’s why U.S. consumers turn heavily toward setting products during the winter season.
At SlaySocietys, this year’s setting trends focus on hydration, longevity, and a naturally smooth finish.
1. Hydrating Setting Sprays Are a Winter Essential
American shoppers love setting sprays that:
-
don’t dry out the skin
-
absorb quickly
-
melt makeup into a natural finish
Glycerin-based, aloe-infused, and water-light formulas are the top sellers this winter.
2. Translucent Powders for a Soft, Filtered Finish
“Filter powders” are trending across the U.S.
These powders:
-
blur texture without caking
-
work beautifully on dry winter skin
-
control shine only where needed
They create a soft-focus look while keeping the skin radiant.
3. Loose Powder for Long, Busy Days
Even in winter, combo and oily skin needs staying power.
Loose powders remain popular because they’re lightweight, breathable, and help makeup last all day without tightness.
4. Setting Puffs Are Back (A TikTok Trend)
Setting puffs made a strong comeback on TikTok and instantly became a winter staple.
They deliver:
-
precise, even powder application
-
easy touch-ups on the go
-
a clean, blurred finish
Triangle puffs are especially popular for sculpting around the eyes and nose.
5. A Glow Finishing Mist for the Final Touch
Many American consumers complete their winter routine with a “glow finishing mist.”
After locking makeup in place with powder
→ they reintroduce hydration and radiance with a final dewy spritz.
This creates a winter-friendly glow that isn’t greasy or glittery.
