Finishing Powder Recommendations

Good Morning Ladies,

I'm looking for a good finishing powder and came here for some recommendations.

I use Tarte Balancing Foundation and just want to top it off with a light weight matte power to control shine with little to no color. Preferably something I can reapply throughout the day without a lot of build up and that wont settle into fine lines. Tall order, huh?

What can you recommend?

Thanks in advance

Another vote for Mally's face defender. Definitely a HG for me.

Re: Finishing Powder Recommendations

The absolute best finishing powder I have ever found, and I have tried so many of them,

is Bobbi Brown's sheer finish powder. It doesn't sink into fine lines, nor does

it leave the cake-y, crepey dry look on your skin. There is no break through shine on my nose

either after a 12 hour day. Bonus: it's also an eye shadow base! Use if before your eye

shadow on your eyelids and your eye shadow stays put and doesn't crease!

Another good one: MAKEUP FOREVER HD Invisible Finishing Powder.

I use a kabuki brush and I get an airbrushed look. Nothing settle in fine lines - it is very very fine milled, in loose formulation.

I love this one, especially for portability and touch-up. I also love the Tarte Amazonian Clay finishing powder.

My favorite is a loose mineral powder from Dreamworld. Ellie has several formulas. The one I use is a silk powder called Whipped Cream. Many color choices but very faint and you can hardly see any color...or plain white. I've reordered this 2 or 3 times and have been using it for about 6 years.

I'm always recommending Cory and/or Meow for foundation (and blush and eyeshadow), but Dreamworld is the best, imo, when it comes to a great finishing powder.

Re: Finishing Powder Recommendations

Because of sensitivity issues - I can only tolerate a few brands:

Avon's Ideal Flawless Loose Powder - translucent

Almay's Translucent Shimmer Powder.

Physicians Formula has an Organic Wear in translucent - I haven't used it yet.
