Best translucent pressed powder

I'm not even sure if I'm behind the times in that I still use a pressed powder over my foundation. I know the "dewy" look is in, but to me I just look shiny and greasy if I don't use it, and my skin isn't greasy at all, it's pretty normal.

I'd like a translucent one as I am really pale and it's taken me years to find foundation colours in various brands and coverage I'm happy with. I just want something to blot the shine that's all. One's I've used so far:

Clinique - nice but doesn't stay on for long
Clarins - doesn't stay on at all
Mac - too powdery and heavy

I went to Bobbi Brown recently but I am not convinced by their colours. The palest looked too white and the next one too yellow. I have a pink undertone.

Can anyone recommend?

Have you tried a mineral powder foundation instead like bare minerals or lili lolo? Then you won't need both.
