Just that really.

Wear EL double wear as my foundation and I love it. Just want to maintain (ie eliminate!) my shine....

Recommendations please? X

I like the Charlotte Tilbury loose powder, it suits my skin and keeps my make up looking fresh for a decent chunk of the day.

The Laura Mercier powder was life changing for me

La Prairie. It comes in a HUGE pot and also has a free travel sized pot (which is the same size as Clinique's regular size loose powder) so works out at surprisingly good value. In the past I used Clinique, then Giorgio Armani then Laura Mercier but La Prairie has been my go-to for the last 6 years.

Too faced peach perfect loose setting powder. Quite matifying, and I love the scent.
RCMA no colour powder. Great for setting, baking, removing shine. Doesn't alter the colour of foundation, or dry the skin out.

Innisfree no sebum powder and Etude house zero sebum powder. Both silica based powders, very light and airy, and great for removing shine, locking in the foundation and leaving the face feeling velvety smooth.
I am a powder addict and have tried lots of different powders, including tinted ones (which I don't like as much - too cakey looking), and glowy ones, such as mac mineralised skin finish, which highlighted all my pores and texture.
A big fat no!

These above are my every day powders, easy to use, and great value too.

Hourglass diffused light is amazing. There's a Laura Mercier one that's good too.
