Please recommend me a great powder

I'm in my mid thirties and although my skin is ok, it's starting to look like, well, mid-thirties skin. I have a few lines and just generally look tired. I also have visible pores which I don't like. I use a loose setting powder to make me 'poreless' and get rid of excess shine, but although I use it very sparingly I noticed in a few recent photos that my skin looks really dull, so I'm in need of a new loose powder that will give me luminous (but not shiny) skin as well as blur my pores and set my makeup. Is there such a thing? Currently using No7 but don't think it's doing the job.

RMS beauty hydra setting powder might do the trick.

I like the Hourglass ones

I really like Glossier Wowder, one of the few loose powders I've used that mattifies but doesn't leave me looking obviously powdery. It allows the luminosity of the skin tint I use underneath to glow through, but takes off the shininess of my slightly oily skin.

The Laura Mercier translucent powder is excellent but I wonder if you need to look again at your foundation too?
