I actually had a matte pressed face powder in lavender - in a white mirrored compact - in the late 1960s. I don't recall the brand, something European, i think. I'm still looking for it. I'm sure it's lurking somewhere. Of course, a lot of powders - face, eye - in the 60s and early 70s were very talc-y / chalk-y, so it might be less exciting now.

When we were performing in LA last spring, i actually made a side trip to the stand-alone MUFE store to buy their Super Matte Loose Powder in 08 Lavender. It's one of my favorite face finishers. It's matte but sheer so it doesn't make me look too dull. But definitely something for pale faces only.

A MAC BP in mauve or lavender with a hint of shimmer would be really lovely... Sigh...

MAC phased out their lilac set powder two years ago. I stocked up on it as I figured it won't come back any time soon, but you can still find it in CCO's. I love it!

 

[ChosenOne]

Emerald green is my favourite colour - I would love an EDES and a MES!

Oh my gosh, me too. Just thinking about it...

Shu Uemura used to have something like this - not sure if they still do, but you could investigate it!

Their standard loose powder was always some of the best you could get.

T. LeClerc (the brand still seems to exist) also has these colored loose powders (yellow, green, pink/lilac). The latter one is described as:

Orchidée
Pink veil. Magically erases signs of fatigue; a real life-saver for evening makeup. It immediately freshens up medium to dark complexion with yellow undertones. The number one choice for Indian skins.

I used to have the yellow one in the '80s.

 

[liba]

WOW. Thanks for this!!!

Bobbi Brown will have different shades of a loose correcting powder next spring. I saw pics, but don't remember where. I think there was white, pink, yellow, orange, etc.

ETA: here's a pic

[sss215]

I hope we hear something soon about this one!

 

[Brightlights2]

So excited! I posted most of the sneak peek pictures I could find on my blog http://glitterismysunshine.blogspot.ca/2012/12/archies-girls.html

 

[OctoberViolet]

Tx Brightlights2!!! I am definitely getting that purple quad.

OT: I know it was mentioned somewhere on another board about stalker exe's. I have one as well. Didn't want to get into it, but he's starting to really piss me off. Why can't men just back off after you break up with them? Just go away. Okay, back to makeup talk.

I´ve got a stalker aswell.
He´s so effing annoying!
He broke in to my flat once.
I swear to God, I could have killed him
in pure rage. I was yelling at him
and grabbed a kitchen knife
to protect myself.
He actually got so scared,
so he ran out again.

 

[OctoberViolet]

OMG! I hope he learned his lesson. Mine. Well. He's annoying, but so far hasn't tried to break into my apt. He did put a holiday card under my door to let me know he still knows where I live. Like...yeah I still live there and... My issue is I thought after I broke up with him and he supposedly has a new girlfriend he would leave me alone. Not the case. Hoping he will disappear otherwise I don't know what I will do.

I´m pretty sure he learned his lesson,
because I haven´t seen him since that.
It was about half a year ago.

I hope your stalker will leave you alone!

I hope you reported him to the police, there are anti-stalking laws now and you should not have to put up with that crap.
