Best powder for a subtle glow?

18 replies

I have started using the Laura Mercier Candleglow foundation and ity gorgeous, gives a subtle glow. But I still need a few dabs of face powder and don't want to flatten the glow from my foundation.

Any recommendations please?

Mac soft and gentle, with a very light hand

Laura Mercier Glow loose powder. Really lovely.

Do you just want the powder to set the foundation rather than to magnify? If so, use a setting spray instead.

emsyj37 · 09/01/2020 21:37

Mattify not magnify!

Hi. Really I want it to mattify and also set my foundation. I love LM Candleglow but it's not very long lasting unfortunately.

Makeup forever ultra HD loose powder. It’s completely translucent and I love it

I second the hourglass ambient light powers. very subtle, can be used all over the face.

I've just ordered Urban Decay All Nighter setting powder for this reason. Really good reviews.

Actually just reread your op....scrap what I said, if you want an all over glow then definitely don't use Mac S&G, you'd look like the tin man!! Nice for a highlight though

Laura geller balance and brighten

closetotheaction · 10/01/2020 11:09

Hourglass.

Chanel Healthy Glow face powder. Pricey but brilliant.

Kaz2200 · 12/01/2020 08:06

That was meant to be Laura geller balance n glow, fab.

Ambient powders are amazing. Made such a difference to my skin. I want everything hourglass now!

Hourglass setting powder is fantastic if you are setting your whole face (especially if its places you wouldn't put a highlighter) if not, an ambient light powder would be good.

Revolution do a cheaper alternative to the ambient light powders (have yet to find a cheaper product to match the setting powder)
