Face powder / powder foundation

[SillyMoomin]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a die hard lover of the body shop “all in one face base” for 15+ years. It’s basically a face powder / foundation in a hard pressed powder which when you brush onto your face makes you look all flawless and airbrushed. Well, it did for me.
Body shop JK arguments aside, I am absolutely devastated they’ve discontinued this. Their customer service keeps recommending their new product version which has 100% horrendous reviews.
and irritatingly you can still buy the face base from the international stores, you just can’t bloody ship to the U.K.

So, does anyone have any idea what I can use that’s similar? Rather not use foundation “proper” ie; cream or liquid or mousse etc, quite happy with just a powder, but I don’t think normal face powders have that foundation-y cover if you see what I mean?

Any ideas? Help!

Smashbox also do a great powder foundation. Loads of colours too.

I am a warm ivory but am between a MAc NC15 and 20!

Looked at Smashbox but saw one of the main ingredients is talc and I’m not sure that’s good?

@Deathraystare do either NC15 or NC20 look good enough to wear or are they both off?

Mac Studio Fix is amazing

I self-diagnosed myself as a NC20 but realised that wa a bit too yellow (I am warm). I read about someone else who found it too warm but NC15 was not quite right either and wanted something in between - there wasn't anything!

I got a MAC foundation in NC15 and it seemed ok. Hope that helps.

Thanks Deathraystare, h Guy iOS to know, yes , it does seem a bit of a gap between the two shades. I think I’ll go for another brand.
