Powder foundation is all I wear now as I've given up on liquid foundation.  I'm 65 and it settles in the fine lines around my mouth which is not a good look.  I've found 3 powder foundations I like which are: Laura Geller's Baked Elements, Wander Beauty, and IT Cosmetics SPF50 Celebration.  All are talc free and work well on my oily skin.  They give me the same coverage so when I use up the Baked Elements and Wander Beauty will probably just stick with the IT Cosmetics since it has the SPF.  I got the recent TSV they had on auto delivery since it was such a good buy.

I used to use LG's B&B foundation. I liked it but didn't love it enough to stay with it. I never, ever saw any sparkles whatsoever, even in sunlight. As for talc, there is nothing wrong with it in cosmetics, unless of course you believe that it doesn't look good. I happen to think that finely-milled talc in eyeshadows and powders make for an excellent product.

@Katcat1, I share your opinion, but I have gotten my skin into really good shape. I pre-ordered the IT TSV: 2 Celebration Foundations. They came this morning and I plan on "auditioning" them over the next few days. If they don't work, DD loves IT Celebration.....

Jamie uses a couple of older models who seem to have never had work done-and they look great.

I love all of the foundations I have, but there is nothing like swiping on something easy...I miss those days.

Hopefully, by the time you post "Purchases for the Week" I will have a review.....

Laura Geller Balance n Brighten . This is by far the most natural coverage powder I've ever used and has good coverage as well.  I've tried many, many powder foundations over the years and this is my pick, hands down. Bare Minerals is a close second but there is a learning curve with this one. You either get the hang of it for your particular skin needs or it just gets cakey and thick looking...

I love Jane Iredale and also enjoy LG Balance and Brighten.  Sometimes the B and B tends to oxidize a bit on me; whereas, the Jane Iredale remains true to color.  They are both very good coverage and I use them both regularly.

I saw that, too. But it was awfully glowy, I thought; the models' foreheads way too shiny. Maybe a good choice for drier type skin.

In any event, she sure sung a new tune in foundation application!

I have used Laura Geller Balance and Brighten for about five years.. it looks like I have almost no makeup on ,but it covers  all of the small imperfections . I use a concealer over the major ones.   Very lovely product !  By the way my face will be 75 years old in a few months.

@Himi lover, My all-time favorite powder foundation is Lancome's Dual Finish.  If I could only have one it would be that one.  Others on my list of ones I like very much are: Laura Geller's Double Take; Pur 4-in-1; It Celebration.  

I prefer brushing the powder on, and never wet them, even if the leaflet says the product can be dampened for more coverage.

I'm 62 and been using the Pur 4-in-1 for a very long time. It's buildable if you want more coverage or you can dust a bit on for light, even coverage. It's my fave.
