Powder foundation that's not MAC

[Shadowy Lady]

hey guys,

I'm looking for a powder foundation for application on the go, but please don't recommend MAC. I like their coverage but I can't get my exact match :/

I need a medium coverage powder and I have combination/sensitive skin. I did a search for this but mostly found MAC recommendations.

Thanks in advance...

I just ordered the Illamasqua one from Sephora...I can report back about it when I get it...although I'm sure it'll be awesome, like all their other stuff I've tried.

Pleas do let me know, though I'm not sure how's I'll get Illamasqua since we don't have it in Canada..and I need to get matched

I was going to recommend Illamasqua too- I have been using it for a month and love it. Oh,well....

If you are not too prone to breakouts I'd suggest the Lancome Dual Finish. The coverage is light-medium but it is a wet dry powder so you CAN use it wet for more coverage. I like how it never looks powdery or accentuate flakes.

However, it does contain mineral oil as one of its top ingredients [at least in the one i got] so you might want to be aware.

I really liked the Quo powder foundation, if you can get your match. My match was a bit off so i went with MAC once I finished mine.

Also-the Clinique Superpowder Double Face Makeup is really good too.

clinique fundations are good

Illamasqua powder foundation I've found to be really nice, light and wearable but with good coverage. ^_^

Dior Forever in powder foundation -- lasts all day, great coverage,limited colors tho.

MUFE if you like a really matte finish.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I really wish we had Illamasqua here. Everyone keeps recommending their powder

I had forgotten about MUFE. Is there powder foundation as good as their liquid (HD)?

I swear by Lily Lolo foundation powders Lily♥Lolo♥Mineral♥Cosmetics

seriously, the best foundation I have ever tried!

I like Origins Silk Screen. I wouldn't really call it medium coverage, though. Light-to-medium, maybe. It's just sheer enough to be buildable. What it does have is a nice selection of neutral colors.

I really love Stila's powder foundation. The only thing is you have to buy the compact and the actual pan of powder separate but after you go through the first pan, all you have to do is just keep buying the pan. I think it's part of their "better for the environment" campaign. The compact is really pretty and comes with a separate compartment for the sponge. I usually use a brush for mine but since you want to use it on the go, the sponge might be better. It's got pretty great coverage and I also usually have issues matching colors and I had no issues with Stila. Just a thought! Oh, and I have sensitive skin as well and it never bothered my face. HTH!!

Revlon's ColorStay Mineral powder foundation is really nice! It covers just as good as MAC and doesn't irritate my skin at all.
