To ask about face powder??

[DitheringBlidiot]

I don’t wear it, because even though my skin is a little bit oily as soon as I put powder on it makes my skin look dry and horrible. What powder do people wear that doesn’t make their skin look like crap?

I have this issue, the powder just goes patchy I look like I'm shedding, I tried bare minerals and found it ace, it's a bit pricey though but does last, you just apply in layers it looks natural and I don't look like a lizard which is always a bonus!

I'm 50 and have dry skin. I also use Bare Minerals.

I've used my DD's, from the Bod Shop and it stayed OK all day.

Any of the Shops/Counters will put it on you and you can see how it goes, first.

Do you feel that you want to use powder?

Also, when my youngest DD (18) was having that, she was told to use face masks and a proper cleansing/exfoliating routine to get her skin in really good condition, which stopped it.

I use a Nars one. It's like a white powder in the pot.

The two I've liked are Laura Mercier translucent setting powder or the nars setting powder

Are you wearing it alone or on top of foundation?

For people who find powder makes them patchy, make sure your skin is fully exfoliated and moisturised first.

Yes to cleansing as well , Liz Earle cleanse and polish is fabulous for me, I use it daily since starting it I've had loads of compliments on my skin

I had that issue and switched to an oil cleanser and acid toners and found my skin could tolerate powders a lot better.

I like Laura Mercier translucent powder.

When my skin struggled I used Nars Sheer Glow with a Bare Minerals powder foundation as a setting powder.

What are you using and how are you applying it? I use the Laura Mercier loose translucent powder (Charlotte Tilbury compact powder for touch ups). I always use a "press and roll" technique to apply, like the one outlined in this video: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-9lyg9DNfsY

I have dry skin and my Holy Grail of face powder is the loose ELF colourless HD powder and a fan brush for the very lightest touch. It's streets ahead of anything else I've tried.

The Charlotte Tilbury one is great. It's very finely milled so should be pretty much invisible.

I use elf compact powder and it's one of the best I've tried. My skin which is combination doesn't feel dry not is it shiny for most of the day, a little towards the end but I've had that and worse from every makeup I've used.

I use a combination of a Lily Lolo mineral foundation and their loose powder with a kabuki brush. Buff till it looks like your skin, but better.

Is cheaper than Bare Minerals and much kinder on my skin, but I have to admit BM colour range is better if you can tolerate it.

Use a translucent loose setting powder not a pressed powder. Sunday Riley is good.

I use RCMA no colour powder it's amazing it's around £12 from beauty bay or beautylish

Have you tried a foundation/powder? It will mattify oily bits but isn't as dry as a powder. I use this body shop one and it's a really nice finish.

I’m partial to this one but it is quite expensive - so maybe if you’re keen try get a sample to test it out before taking the plunge.

It does last ages though.

Usually hourglass ethereal light. Or a silicone based powder really works, like NYX HD

Oil blotting sheets for the face are fab! You just press the sheet down & all of the oil is absorbed in the sheet. You can buy them from eBay, boots, Superdrug etc. I love them.

Another RCMA user here. It’s amazing.

And my sister who has oily skin swears by Make Up Revolution Oil Pro Fox Setting Spray.

Frankly I just rub in the tinted huile prodigiuose and at 56 it looks pretty ok

I use the Face Atelier Loose Powder In Translucent- silicone base & SPF free. I use a damp Beauty Blender to apply powder, in a stippling motion. This puts a very sheer layer over so it doesn’t look dry or flakey. I also spritz Dermalogica Hydramist over afterwards to give a lovely finish & get rid of excess powder.

I think powder looks rotten and v aging
