Those of you who use loose finishing powder, do you prefer a tinted or translucent powder?

Translucent for me. Typically translucent powders has a slight pink tinge to them but you can find those that do not. Laura Mercier has wonderful loose powders that have no color.

translucent for me.

I use the RCMA: $10.00 for 3 ozs! Buy it from Beautylish or their own website. I just looked it up and some folks are marking it waaay up on ebay

no frills packaging.

Tarte has one that I received a sample of and it's just as good only it costs $33.00 for .32 oz!!! That's a really huge difference!!

I prefer translucent. I'm using Elizabeth Arden Ceramide loose powder. I also liked Shiseido loose powder, it's white, but goes on clear. I use very little, mainly on the T-zone, and chin. Less is always better!

My favorite loose powder is Clarins- it comes in translucent 01, 02, etc. I don't use loose powder anymore - I use SKINN Plasma Fusion which is awesome but when I did - Clarins wore natural, sheer & beautifully.

I prefer Translucent but have been using IT Bye Bye Pressed and really like that. Never could use a pressed before because of my dry skin. This stuff doesn't dry me out.

I've been using the IT Bye Bye Pores translucent for 2 years and I love it. It really does smooth out my complexion and camoflage pores, plus prevents my oily skin from looking greasy. The best part? I bought the supersize jar 2 years ago and it's still 1/2 full. It doesn't take much IT to get full coverage.

Before IT, I used the Coty Airspun for decades. It always made my skin a little orangey.

I prefer a translucent powder and like Bobbi Brown. She also has an all over highlighter powder that goes on light. I have very fair skin so these products work rally well for me.

I have this one and like it but honestly prefer the Laura Mercier translucent. They last for so long that I don't mind a splurge once in a while.

@NJgirl 1205

what is this, is it 100% silica powder? I like Bye Bye Pores and really, it lasts forever for me, but I wouldn't mind one of these RCMA as a refill. But not if it isn't exactly the same stuff. I don't want to spend even $10 on something I don't like.

I love a loose finishing powder. As previously mentioned I too am a fan of Laura Mercier in this category. Her translucents are undetectible even on women of color.

I think you should just stick with your expensive prestige brands.

There's no directions on the packaging for the RCMA products as it's a professional line.

The ingredients are silica, calcium oxide, talc and magnesium oxide. It is a professional product so it's no frills but it is very nice. No color or pigments so it does not oxidize and it really inexpensive. It is not 100% silica. If that is what you are looking for I think Elf has one for a couple of dollars.

For me, to RCMA sets my MU and keeps it there for longer than the LM. I bought the LM based upon rave reviews everywhere, but the RCMA works better for me.

It is!! I mean, I LIKE the LM, but this performs much better on my skin and is much les in price per oz. It's a winner!

I still use MV from BE. It seems like I will never run out because I have many that were part of TVS through the years.
