Thoughts on some setting powders

So I have been researching some brands. Anyone have any thoughts on these two. They are expensive but if it’s good I don’t care too much.

Charlotte Tilbury flawless finish

Givamchy libre the one with the 3 colors

I have the Charlotte Tilbury in the compact @ccassaday . I apply it with a Bobbi Brown powder brush and it gives a poreless, air brushed finish. I tried others but nothing gives the flawless appearance that this does.🥰💐

I use Hourglass Veil translucent setting powder, mostly to set my concealer. It does a good job covering yet doesn't settle into lines. The mini size has lasted several months.

 

I haven't tried the ones you listed.

That's the one I am leaning towards. I can get the mini size and it will probably last me a long time. Nice way to try it without paying for the big size. I use her setting spray on my brush to blend my cream makeup and love how it looks when I am done. I like how high end brands offer minis because they still lady a long time and can get something different when it runs out if you like trying different things.

I haven't used any of the brands you listed either, so I have no idea what they cost.

 

I am on AD for IT pressed and pressed bronzer $40 for the duo.

 

Sets my makeup and minimizes pores.  Very happy with it.

@ccassaday I use the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing Powder in #4 (olive skin) and love it. It lasts a really long time too. 

 

I can't say if it's better than the others you listed, I haven't tried them but am very happy with the Givenchy.

Not one of the one's you mentioned but I recently bought this from HSN with an included brush for around $40.00 and I love it. It's brightening and blurring. It looks pink in the jar but doesn't look pink on the face. Doll 10 Pink Power Brightening Powder

Watching videos of that doll 10 pink powder and I might be sold lol. That's a great price with the brush too. Looks like a really soft brush.

I really do like it and the brush is also fantastic, although I like to use a smaller brush to kinda pack the powder into my forhead and just the center of my face.  

I too wanted to try a pink powder and most of the others are more expensive so when I saw this presented one day I snatched it up.
