What do you think is the best full coverage powder, either drugstore or high end?

oh definitely mac's studio fix powder is high coverage. you can build it up really well. my foundation isn't too high coverage but when i top it with this, it makes my skin look flawless. i haven't found a full coverage powder from the drugstore yet!

i was either thinking mac studio fix or bare minerals... i head B.E is good for your skin but idk what kind of coverage it gives. not gonna lie i have perfect skin but i do like the look of full coverage makeup.

i've heard the same thing about b.e., but i've never tried it so i can't say! if you have a sephora close by, maybe go and check it out. if you like a matte finish, i'd look into make up for ever's duo mat. it's pricey but i heard that's not bad either

Former BE user here...and BE has build-able coverage but I don't think you'll get the "look of full coverage makeup". If you are going to try it, I'd suggest getting the Matte formula. It doesn't contain any bismuth in it so you don't get any "sheen" or any sensitivity with sunlight and bismuth (i.e. itchy burning sensation). However, since you do have flawless skin, a couple layers of BE buffed into your skin may give you the type of finish you're looking for.

I agree with Samantha, MAC Studio FIx is my fave! I use my 182 brush to buff into skin. I have dry skin and it looks great on me. I used Bare Minerals for years and it is a great product as well. But I think the Studio Fix looks better for a full coverage and it photographs way better.

I actually really like MAC mineralize skin finish natural for me. Sounds weird, but yeah, it works so nicely for me.
