I haven't really needed powder since I've used Lancome's "Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation." It functions as both as base and a powder and keeps oil at bay and my skin virtually flawless and glowing!

Powders are so important for my everyday look! Thanks for the tips

I would love to try the higher end ones but i cant bring myself to pay more than 10 on a powder

by rayshaviolet Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 11:59AM Report as inappropriate

Many great options, I havent tried them all but have used 4-5 of them. The Geurlain meteorites work fabulously and are a collecters item as well. Each collection has them in slightly different colour formulations and they really do provide an excellent finsih natural but better. I have two types but I know there are people who have collected 9 or more as they are really so beautiful as a product and as a decorative item on your beauty table. The whole brand is amazing and I have to stay away as I am so tempted. For a more affordable product the clinique works well and they will take back if you dont get one you like. I tried 3 and found my match, aging skin needs that extra! Good selection

Bare minerals made my skin extra oily so i stopped using it. I did however look great when taking pictures with it on.

Clinique's powder is awesome for my red, sensitive skin, and it's a great price. They also last for a while which makes it even more worth it.

by Lamexicana1 Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 05:43PM Report as inappropriate

The Estee Lauder is very good, I think i might try the Loreal True Match pressed powder.

by nicky22 Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 07:48AM Report as inappropriate

The L'Oreal True Match powder was just ok for me. Now I definitely want to try the Estee Lauder Double Matte powder though!

by Chris213 Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 06:25PM Report as inappropriate

I love Physician' Formula powder. It's one of the most affordable, and if you get coupons for it, you can usually get it super cheap.

by yestfl Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 08:15PM Report as inappropriate

ooh our prices for these powders are much higher))(Russia) And some of this list aren't sold by our shops)))))So, Don't worry)

by icegerlin Friday, September 21, 2012 at 03:09PM Report as inappropriate

the article is called "13 best powders" not best price. I cannot afford expensive powders either but if your looking for the best price, this is not the right list. Just saying..

by justlooking Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 10:38AM Report as inappropriate

i don't know how the loreal made it to this list, that powder broke out my skin like CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY.

I love this product. It buffs into the skin really well and it actually keeps you matte and it stays on really well and I love it

by LittleBunny Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 07:35AM Report as inappropriate

I tried bare escentuals back in 2007 and was so not a fan. However, I LOVED the mineral veil. In fact being reminded of the product and how much I loved it kind of inspires me to go buy it again!

by glenncoco Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 10:12AM Report as inappropriate

I agree with the comments on here that say you should RECOMMEND MORE LESS-EXPENSIVE POWDERS. Consider doing "Best DRUGSTORE Face Powders"? For most women, like me, the highest-rated products on here are too unrealistic money-wise.

by AZine Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 09:44AM Report as inappropriate

Guerlain Meteorites are wonderful and they last a very long time. You can also purchase in a pressed powder "refillable" compact.

by Ydabney Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 01:30PM Report as inappropriate

Thank you for the list. Good start for searching...

I definately need a good powder that covers well but doesn't look cakey and blends well

by mayra_alonzo Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 09:05PM Report as inappropriate

They need to include more drugstore brands into this list. I love Mabelline Shine Free powders, best thing for oily skin.

by darkangel81 Monday, May 7, 2012 at 11:02AM Report as inappropriate

Why don't these powders have SPF? I'd think it'd be easy enough to add zinc oxide or titanium oxide. My search for powder with high SPF continues...

by cheechy Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 01:36AM Report as inappropriate

My face is crazy oily so I’ve tried a ton of powders. The Clinique and BE brands make me break out, but I like the L’Oreal True Match and Estee Lauder – they provide great coverage and give a little oil control too. The best powder I’ve ever used is one called Mattify Ultra powder from a place called Mattify Cosmetics. I use it with my liquid makeup and my skin doesn’t get greasy for hours. LOVE that suff! It’s clear, so it doesn’t look heavy like so many colored powders do.

by sandra_verochi Friday, May 4, 2012 at 08:37AM Report as inappropriate

I use the BE Mineral Veil. It works pretty well for me most days when I just go to class. However, days I spend outdoors in the sun, it does nothing! My face gets really oily and it just fades off.

I've never tried any Chanel products because they seem so expensive but I might have to try the powder someday.

Wow, this is surprising because both the L'Oreal and the physicians formula ones have not worked for me. Instead they made my makeup look cakey.

Hard to believe, but NYC's compact is amazing - and at that price, it's worth seeing what I mean! Toss the applicator, though - a soft brush is much better.

by amaebi519 Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 11:08PM Report as inappropriate

Only problem with the Bare Escentuals powder is that it will fly all over the place. Hard to 'carry' with you unless you put it in a Ziploc bag.

I'm interested in the Clinique powders, although I wish there was a list of good drugstore powders to choose from as well.

by vfalkow Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 01:19PM Report as inappropriate

Makeup Forever HD powder is the only setting powder for me! It's translucent so it doesn't alter the color of your foundation, it gives you a perfect matte finish, and a tiny bit goes a long way. One jar lasts months, so to me it's worth the money. I'm really surprised it didn't make the list.

I like ELF's HD powder which is very inexpensive and comperable to any high-end brand I have used. I noticed women wearing mineral veil at a product show and wondered how they did not see they were so obviously covered in powder, like they had been worked on by a funeral home. Recently I received some mineral veil and got a chance to see the ingredients-cornstarch! No wonder! If a piecrust looks powdery covered in cornstarch would a human face look any different? I don't understand mineral veil's proponents.
