Great Setting Powder???

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I'm on the hunt for a good setting powder. I was using Prescriptives' *magic Liquid Powder, but it seems to make my current foundation look a little ashy (and that could be because it's dried and is no longer a liquid powder but I digress). I don't want or need anything super matte, like the MUFE Super Matte Loose Powder or Velvet Finish Compact Powder. I wanted to look at Becca but with no counters in my area, I don't know what my shade is; I'm NW45 for reference. Any suggestions? Purtty Purtty Pleeeeaassee!

I honestly still use BE Mineral Veil....I have never changed from it...Mainly because it works ... Every other one I have tried MUFE, MAC etc gave me the ashy look. I use BE Mineral Veil regular (the most) and Tinted ...
I should try others...But this one works so...I'm just gonna keep using it...Plus it is not very costly at all in comparison.

I would have sent you a sample with your package if I had known you were looking !

I hear MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes are pretty good...I havent tried them yet tho, because I'm not sure how they'd hold up on my super duper oily skin.

I'm NW43 in SFF and NC45 in Studio Tech and a LOVE MAC Set Powder in Deep Peach. Also MSFN in medium/deep.

Generally they are, but on me they cause little bumps, so I tend not to use mine as much.

It's a Pro product. MAC PRO | Set Powder

Has anyone tried the MAC Select Sheer Loose or the Px All Skins Powders?

 

[wifey806]

i have select sheer loose that my mom gave me after I explained to her what NC and NW meant and she realized it's the wrong color lol. It's too light for me (NW35, I'm NC45) but it's really nice. It's super sheer, and I don't look overly powered -- just "set". And it doesn't make my foundation do wierd things.

I'm actually wondering if I should order NC40 or NC45 because as light as my mom's poweder is, it's so transcluent that I can totally get away with it.

I NEED A NEW POWDER TOO!

Okay, so I was between peach and yellow and invisible. I kind of want Yellow because I've heard good things about the yellow setting powders of Ben Nye and Bobbi Brown. Plus, lately I've been noticing thatfoundation is perfect, but once I add my powder, it's not YELLOw enough (Blot Loose, MSFN, and Select Sheer Loose).. so I was hoping yellow would help enhance the tones I'm trying to bring out. Any thoughts?

 

[ExquizitDiva]

Hmmmm not so sure about yellow. I've never used it. I do use the invisible sometime as well... but not yellow. I'm going to the Mall tomorrow so I'll see if the BB counter has any then try it out. You've piqued my curiosity.

Not sure about the yellow...never tred that.... but the two I use ...One as a very sheer pearl white color and the other is tinted which is a sheer brown shade

I also just use MAC blot powder in DARK too....I apply it all over with the 187 brush

 

[nunu]

I was going to suggest MAC's blot powder but it is matte, i use i with the 182 brush.

I love:

Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Shu Uemura Matte Loose Face Powder and/or Face Powder Sheer

 

[GlamQueen21]

I have the Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC55 but it's too light for my complexion so I have the SF in NW50. I say try that or you can get the Select Sheer Pressed Powder.

 

[miss_bailey]

I use the MAC's invisible set powder. Just buff it on with a kabuki. It is love. Id be interested in trying the coloured ones but I think if you arent sure invisible is the way to go.

 

[TISH1124]

^^ The invisible comes off Ashy looking on some darker skin tones....Invisible does not always mean truly invisible.

 

[jdechant]

Lol..I am so confused with this post....ashy/non ashy...I am also in search for a good powder. I am NC40 ish..maybe closer to NC35 and am looking for a good powder. I have MSF Natural in medium plus...but would be interested in a loose powder...what would you guys suggest??
