Question:

A cheap pressed powder to set foundation or bb cream?

I'm looking for a pressed powder that lasts up to six hours at least six hours, doesn't dry out skin and has a good shade selection. I have medium dark skin. My budget is ?5 and I live in the UK. And I also have one more question. What is the difference between pressed powder and translucent powder? Please answer and I will reward 10 points for the best one myself. Thanks in advance.

Answer:

Rimmle Stay Matte Pressed Powder: Skin Colours and Translucent Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot: Just Translucent Are my two favourites from the drugstore. There is not real difference in translucent and pressed they are a different objective kinda, if you have a pressed powder it is compact, the opposite would be a loose powder like bare minerals. Translucent means thats you wont be getting extra coverage with some cheaper pressed powders though they say they are Translucent on darker skins they can some times come of a little chalky so I would go for the rimmle. Hope this helped and you look flawless :)
No the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is an excellent powder.
And these, powders i believe you can buy at Walmart, (where i bought mine), or walgreens, etc. Use the store locator on their sites. Hope i helped ! :)
Boots Natural collection has a good one, only ?1.99! Bargain! It works really well too, i use it over my higher end foundation, so it's still good for that :) Pressed powder is to do with how it comes in the box, it's not lose bits you can see moving around. Translucent powder has no colour so just literally sets the foundation without adding any layers of makeup or more colour Hope this helps!
Rimmel Stay Matte! I'm surprised you haven't thought of this living in the U.K. -Pressed powder is when it's in a compact and the product is pressed tight so it's ideal for travel since it doesn't get messy. -Loose powder is loose kinda like baby powder. When you swirl the brush in it, some of the powder goes in the air and looks like dust. -Translucent powder is the color of the powder. When people aren't sure of which shade they are, they just get it in translucent which isn't supposed give coverage hence translucent. They just wanna set or control oil so coverage isn't a priority.
