Best mid priced pressed powder

4 replies

Hi ladies! I am looking for a new pressed powder. it needs to be mattifying but illuminating (i'm thinking something along the lines of Guerlain's Parure but not quite as pricey). I need to be able to get it from Debenhams or Boots and it needs to be one that doesn't go cakey round the nose. Prpeared to pay up to 25- any ideas/ recommendations?

I like Bourjois healthy balance pressed powder here

I also use Bourjois healthy balance. TBH I use whatever is on special offer at the time - but I did read somewhere that Bourjois is made by the same company as Chanel, and some make up artist or other had commented that their powders in particular are really good.

i like to use Clinique which is £17. Am on a budget at the moment though so can't afford it. To be honest I don't notice much difference in the powder but the packaging varies hugely. The cheapest ones don't have a mirror. There was one Rimmel one that was nice but the lid broke after about a week.

I've also been using the bourgeois healthy balance after a recommendation on here - it's pretty good, though I find it a bit matt compared to what I was using before - lancome poudre majeur excellence - though a lot cheaper.
