Chanel Poudre Douce Soft Pressed Powder

Chanel Poudre Douce Soft Pressed Powder

I make no effort to hide my undying love for Chanel, but no one should ever pay $50 for a powder. Not even if it's the smoothest, silkiest (talc) powder they've ever used. Not even if it smells like roses and comes in a luxurious mirrored compact with a separate (somewhat inconvenient), soft brush. Not even if it covers min...More

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder

I don't know about you, but coating my face with French "cashmere" talc sounds almost as good as a bubble bath. Like any loose powder, this can get messy if its classic sifting canister is jerked around. The tinted powder inside reflects light with near-microscopic shimmer, providing a light finish that mutes smal...More

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

Setting foundation with powder can look so powdered doughnut-like. That's why this baked, slightly luminescent, light-coverage powder is a keeper. It's matte enough to take away shine, but the bit of sheen makes it look more skin-like -- and no, it's not shimmery enough to highlight imperfections (I know that's what you wer...More

Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush

Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush

This large jar of finely ground powders "sets and perfects makeup" of varying quality and comes in seven basic shades that does a fine job of camouflaging pores and concealer. The sifter keeps powder-y mess to a minimum, unless the container bounces around a lot during travel. Then, it seeps everywhere. But why do...More

LORAC Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder

LORAC Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder

Similar to Lancome Photogenic sheer pressed powder, this smooth finishing powder is designed to light up the face and detract attention from flaws by bouncing light off skin -- a must before photo ops. (The mirrored compact and thin, round applicator come in handy on the fly.) The handful of sheer, shimmery shades adapt to ...More

Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals All-Over Face Color

Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals All-Over Face Color

Don't be fooled by the company's flowery language that these little powders add "luminosity" to the skin. They're basically bronzers. They get high marks for giving a nice, natural-looking glow (especially the Warmth shade). And it's true that they're made of natural ingredients and don't contain preservatives, so...More

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder

Every girl needs a good blot now and then, and that's how this powder earns its stripes. The thin peach sponge does a fair job mattifying trouble spots and giving a deliberate satin finish to the T-zone. Be sure to blend with fingertips for a natural look. The sponge does collect skin oils, and it gets grungy, so be sure to...More

Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil

Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil

A talc-free topper to the company's hotly debated mineral foundation, this pale peach powder adds dewy shimmer to eyes and cheekbones. But the same stuff that adds a nice highlight where you want it can just as easily draw attention where you don't: to your pores, fine lines and oily spots. Bottom line: Light to medium skin...More

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder

The effect of this specialized loose powder is so subtle, I can see why they called it a "secret." The minute brightening power comes from shimmery mica particles mixed with a base of white/lightly tinted talc and silica. Effects are so faint, application may seem unnecessary; but the powder can help set concealer...More
