Why it stops shine
It soaks up oil as the day goes on
Cinema Secrets says it absorbs excess oil and resists humidity to keep makeup fresh and matte from morning to night.
Ultra-fine, so it doesn't build up
The maker describes a finely milled, weightless texture with a soft-focus finish. A reviewer says it is fine enough that reapplying doesn't leave a cakey look.
Made to lock cream makeup in place
Cinema Secrets tells buyers of its Ultimate Foundation to set it with this powder for all-day, transfer-resistant wear.
Is Beige your shade?
Cinema Secrets makes Ultralucent Setting Powder in several shades. Beige is a balanced neutral that the maker says blends into light to medium skin without changing your foundation shade.
| Shade | Who it's for |
|---|---|
| Beige (this page) | Light to medium skin, neutral tone |
| Soft Light, Warm Light, Soft Custard | Other shades in the range |
| Colorless | No added tint; the maker points deeper skin here or to Rich Tan |
| Rich Tan | Deeper skin |
How to use it

- Let it set for a few moments.
