Can anyone recommend a good powder foundation?

After years of trying and failing to apply foundation I have found I am much happier with the powder/foundation combos. I currently use L'oreal and am really pleased with the coverage it gives and the matt effect. It is dry rather than sticky iyswim and goes on smoothly. However, it doesn't last and I wondered if anyone could recommend one that is dry to apply but also a bit more long lasting?
Thank you.

What is your budget?
This www.spacenk.co.uk/product/shop+by+brand/chantecaille/119410022+compact+foundation.do
is my favourite - Chantecaille - a bit expensive but so worth it!

Lily Lolo is v good and best of all they do trial pots so it isn't a big risk.
