Translucent loose face powder

Does anybody know of any translucent powder that is truly translucent. I'm fed up with wasting money and having pots of unusable powder laying around that says translucent but isn't.
All time favourite was Corn Silk but as that's discontinued I'm stuck.
I either look like a ghost or like I've spent 6 months in the sun with the ones I've got.
I've tried, Coty, No 7 and Collection....what next pls?

John Lewis has Laura Mercier powder in the travel/mini section if you want to try it and providing it’s the type you are looking for.

@OldTinHat infuriating isn't it! There just isn't anything comparible. Why they stopped it I'll never know

Nars do one. Might be worth looking at ad cheaper than LM.
Think it's got the word crystal in it...

I’d prefer pressed powder - any more ideas please. I’ll have a look at the Laura Mercier but it looks loose.

Another vote for Huda but apparently vitamin babe by the beauty crop is a good dupe.

I've found H&M loose translucent powder to be great.

Ben Nye. Thank me later 😊

I have that great Hmm combination of really pale skin which goes red if the temperature rises 1 degree, there’s a single ray of sun or if I have three sips of wine.

Rimmel pressed powder is the best. I have tried far pricier brands, but loose powder goes all over the place and only Rimmel is not orange.

I swear by the Tropic makeup! Its 30 day full refund too so your not loosing your money if not what your after! I use this link my sister sent me:

tropicskincare.com/products/soft-focus
