Givenchy’s iconic Prisme Libre Loose Powder has become a social media darling, applauded for its luminous matte finish and blurring magic, which gives your makeup the perfect radiance.
However, its luxurious price tag (it retails for S$103 at Sephora) isn’t within everyone’s reach, so we naturally search for more affordable options on the market.
We break down the good, bad, and alternatives to help you decide!
Do These Dupes Deliver?
1. Wakemake Stay Fixer Multi Colour Powder

This K-beauty favourite offers a similar, lightweight blurring effect with a hint of radiance at a more budget-friendly price point. It’s perfect for those who want a natural-looking finish.
However, it could potentially settle into pores. Beauty influencer @valeriealysonn prefers Givenchy for that reason.
You can get the Wakemake Stay Fixer Multi Colour Powder at S$38.85 here.
2. ColourPop No Filter Loose Setting Powder
@fathiam6 Can this product perform like the @Givenchy Beauty prisme libre setting powder?? #MakeupLover #Cosmetics #BeautyBasics #MakeupJunkie #MOTD #MakeupGuru #BeautyGuru #BeautyProducts #fy #fyp #makeup #beauty #makeupartist #mua #makeuptutorial #howto #quicktutorial #minitutorial #skincare #beautyhacks #beautytips #beautytrend #beautytrends #beautyblogger #makeupdupe #colourpopcosmetics #givenchy @ColourPop Cosmetics
Another great option is this drugstore powder, which sets makeup flawlessly with a soft, silky texture. It is ideal for all skin types, especially those who prefer a more matte finish.
According to TikToker @fathiam6, it rivals the Givenchy powder in performance, lasting longer and delivering a smoother finish!
You can get the Colourpop No Filter Loose Setting Powder at USD12 (~S$16.25) here.
3. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

A true cult classic, this powder is a favourite for good reason!
It’s lightweight, finely milled, and offers excellent shine control with a natural, invisible finish.
Bonus: Beauty influencer @maj.beauty found it to be more brightening than the Givenchy powder!

4. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder
@paintedbyspencer What do you think? 👨🏻🎨 #makeup #beauty #fyp #PassTheBIC #ComeDanceWithMe #ScreamItOut
Huda Beauty is every influencer’s favourite powder as it delivers a long-lasting, airbrushed finish.
It comes in a variety of translucent shades to suit different skin tones too!
Beauty guru @paintedbyspencer found it provided more under-eye brightening than the Givenchy powder, but noted the Givenchy felt softer on the skin.

5. Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder

This option is a great pick for those with sensitive skin!
This talc-free, fragrance-free powder offers sheer-to-medium coverage with a soft satin finish.
When beauty influencer @whosifrancisco reviewed the powder, the Physicians Formula powder provided a lightweight, thin translucent layer, perfect for baking under the eyes.

This luxurious powder offers a long-lasting, matte finish without feeling heavy on the skin!
It is a favourite among makeup artists for its ability to control shine and blur imperfections.
TikTok star @jellyyyyyyjoy found it offered superior oil control compared to the Givenchy. However, she noted that the Givenchy powder blurs textural imperfections better.
