Hey ^_^I am looking for some good, light-shaded pressed powder that has good coverage and isn't cakey/chalky. I am very pale so brands that have pale shades would be good for me and I do have a few blemishes but not major so good coverage would be needed. My one at the minute is quite cakey and you can easily see the powder so I would like one that is good at blending in. I live in the UK so please don't suggest ones that can be only found in walmart or another american shop but if it's online and the shipping is cheap, I could probably get it. Last of all, not something major expensive as powder only lasts me a couple of months as I have oily skin, not majorly though.Thank you ^_^
I really like Revlon Photo ready pressed powder.
well i live in the uk too, and i use rimmel stay matte pressed powder. its quite cheap and i am also quite similar to ur description. u can get the rimmel pressed powder at boots, sainsburys and even asda! hope it helps :)x
Sephora's brand has a good translucent pressed powder compact that I like. I'm pale too and they say its translucent, but it does give you a little bit of color but its very light and pale. I tap my powder brush in it along with a little bit of my bare essentials mineral foundation and dust it over my t zone after I apply my tinted moisturizer and it works really well!
I'm also extremely oily and I haven't found many pressed powders that work. Most of them are loose and and prices range from cheap to pricey. All of them can be found online: Mattify! Cosmetics Ultra For oily to very oily skin Tarte Micronized Clay Finishing Powder Jurlique Silk Finishing Powder (Rose, Citrus or Lavender) Meow Cosmetics Top Cat Finishing Powder Ere Perez Translucent Corn Pressed Powder L.A. Minerals Oil Control Powder Youngblood Minerals Mineral Rice Finishing Powder (Loose or Pressed forms available) Lucy Minerals Oil Control Finishing Powder with Calcium Carbonate Lucy Minerals Oil Control Finishing Powder with Silica Monave Serecit Setting Powder, Translucent #04 Everyday Minerals Finishing Dust Everyday Minerals Kaolin Powder Lumiere Cosmetifcs Veena Veil Larenim Invisi-Pore These control oil/sweat better than other powders that I've tried high end or drugstore and they don't break me out as they're free of talc, toxic ingredients. They don't cake, flake, oxidize or overdry. When I start the morning off with a good matte moisturizer after cleansing and toning (loccitane, avene, boscia, desert essence, boots or even pure aloe vera gel for matte moisturizer) and use skindinavia no more shine as instructed on the bottle, make sure to avoid foundation or tinted moisturizer other face makeup that contains oil (always read ingredients on cosmetics even if they claim to be matte because some will still contain oil!) I remain freshly matte all day with no need to retouch, reapply, blot anything. No worries about makeup rubbing/sliding off even in the summer.
