Need Rec's For a Finishing Powder ~

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.

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.Woman LOL

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.

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?
