I would like a press powder that gives me some coverage since I'm going into grade 8 and that is affordable. Also my skin is pretty normal just oily in the crevices of my nose. Thoughts?

It depends on what you define a affordable and/or where you live.

The Maybelline fit me powder is about $8. It's not really a powder foundation it's more of just a setting powder meant to go hand in hand with the liquid so the coverage is more sheer to light and you're only getting about 9 grams I believe.

The MAX factor isn't available in the US so if you live in the US you'll have to order online BUT you're definitely getting more product, 20grams of product.
So, if you live outside the US that would be a better option and you'd be able to find a color-match more easily than online.
The MAX factor color range isn't that extensive though.

I personally LOVE the MAC Studio Fix Powder. It's $28 but you're getting 15 grams of product and it's more pigmented cause it meant to be used as a foundation vs a setting powder like the Maybelline fit me so you'd end up using less product.
They also have TONS of shades. This range is probably one of the only one that has a shade that matches me 100%.
And, there tends to be a good amount of MAC counters so you could go and get matched (although I'd have them spray your face with fix + just to be sure the color matches after its sprayed)

Sorry, the MAX factor has 21 grams of product, not 20.

I personally love MAC Studio Fix foundation powder. It's the best I've tried. To me, it doesn't look cakey at all and it offers medium coverage.

It is $28 though, but totally worth it..I don't hit pan on it for like 2 years lol

Clinique perfectly real compact makeup is my holy grail I love it! I'm in 9th grade and that's what I wore all of last year.

Maybelline fit me is good on a budget. It won't really cover but it will make your skin look smooth and not oily:) Perfect for someone your age!

From your pics, your skin looks beautiful so you shouldn't need a high coverage powder:)
