What are some good foundation setting powders that have a decent amount of coverage but aren't too expensive?

Do you mean like a loose/pressed powder for setting your foundation or one you'd actually use as foundation? Setting powders tend to have very little or no coverage at all.

I love the covergirl radiance pressed powder to set, it is really really nice, but does only have very few shades to choose from. Otherwise, the loreal true match loose powder is nice, great shade range, but is a bit more expensive than covergirl

Nyx setting powder or the coty airspun loose powder :)

Hmm that's tough. Most setting powders are only tinted.
If you want more coverage then you'd want to reach for a powder foundation but they're meant to be used on their own because a powder foundation over a liquid foundation can get cakey quite easily plus I find a powder foundation doesn't really set a liquid one (probably due to the silicone within it which makes it glide on better) quite the same as an actual setting powder
BUT I believe the pressed powders from drugstores are meant to be used to set their liquid counterparts the L'Oreal true match ones are pretty good powders and could give a little more coverage I suppose
