Hi Guys,
I have never really be a "powder girl". I typically just use a matte foundation and don't use powder because it feels heavy on my skin. However, because I don't use a powder my foundation and concealer tends to slide. I have been watching gossmakeupartist on youtube and lot and he frequently uses loose powders. Can anyone suggest any that have worked for them? Preferably one that will not break me out! Thanks guys xxx
I really like the MAC mineralized skin finish! But if you want something from the drug store, try Revlon ColorStay Aqua! It actually gives you a cool feeling when you put it on :)
I like Avons mineral powder foundation. I had a bad encounter with another comapany. made me break out like I had chicken pox. super bad. Then I was sudgested to try a mineral foundation. I tryed avons because it was inexpensive and i have been useing it for a year and a half now. It helped clear out that break out, and it is very light and natural. I love this
I use Maybelline's Shine Free Oil Control Loose Powder, but these don't come in translucent so they have a strong tendency to lighten my foundation when powdered over. I heard NYX Loose Powder is good though, and they have a translucent shade.

NYC loose powder. $3 USD, well-milled, lots of product. That said, I would like to try the NARS loose powder.
