Need Rec's For a Finishing Powder ~

Sunshine Kate — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 21:56:27 GMT

I'm needing recommendations for a finishing powder that is lightweight and doesn't settle into fine lines.

Doesn't matter what brand, just something good.

I have very dry skin.

TIA

I love the Laura Mercier translucent pressed powder or the loose. I put a small amount on a big brush and sort of tap it on. I have more than a few lines and wrinkles and this leaves a beautiful smooth finish.

RMCA No Color Powder. It's invisible and many makeup artists use it. Plus, it's super inexpensive. 3 oz. / $12

I like and use two Laura Mercier powders: the Brightening powder to set my concealer under eyes and her setting powder, finely milled white that sets clear to apply in my t zone. Both are loose powders.

@Sunshine Kate - IT Bye Bye Pores silk finishing powder.

I've got mine on order now.

Try it. You can always return if you don't like it.

If you are going to be in front of a camera with flash then be sure the powder you wear doesn't cause flashback...that's when you look ghostly in photos because of the powder you're wearing.

ETA - I guess it doesn't really matter...you can always photoshop that kind stuff away.

Have you found a foundation that doesn't settle into lines? Thanks! It would seem if the foundation didn't settle, the powder couldn't since it came after.

My powder is Cliniques. I have a Bobbi Brown I haven't used yet.

@San Antonio Gal

I have that one on my wish list. I have used the Bye-Bye Pores Illuminator powder & like it a lot. Have you tried that one? If so, which one do you like better & why?

@SurferWife - I've only used the Bye Bye Pores silk finishing powder and not the illumination one.

I love the Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder!

It is even more finely milled than the Mercier powders and has light reflecting, blurring properties.

It is beautiful on my 70+ old skin.

Bye Bye Pores really gives a beautiful, lightweight finish. I think it is better than Hourglass.

I prefer the pressed over the loose.

I have old, oily skin so my powder experience may be different from yours. I used Bye Bye Pores for years and loved it, but didn't like the price. Last year I switched to Flower Miracle Matte, sold at Walmart. Actually, I like it better than BBP. Just tap the brush onto the powder and brush and swirl, and brush and swirl. Doesn't take much. Really gives a nice finish and I don't get shiny.

I use Avon’s translucent powder to which I added some Almaty glimmer (discontinued but I have a stash).

Bobbi Brown translucent setting powder. It goes on like silk. I won't use anything else.

I've been using Becca Hydra Mist Set & Refresh powder for a while now. It's a little pricier than I care for, but I really like the way it works and doesn't settle into fine lines, and doesn't ever look dry. I stocked up when Ulta had their 21 days of beauty event as it was one of the featured products.

I like Laura Mercier and Fenty. I use Fenty when I want an almost skin color setting powder and use tthis one all over my face. The Laura Mercier I only use on my forehead usually

I love Dermablend, it is fabulous, I also really like Hourglass, and Becca....I do like It Cosmetics, I have used it in the past. But I have to say right now for the price, I am enjoying Dermablend!
