13 Best Face Powders

Not easily blendable
I debated on whether I should go lower with my rating, but this powder is workable. There aren't many color choices, but I love the fact that there is a SPF. I apply a moisturizer in the am with SPF, and wanted something that I could use to touch up the protection for the afternoon. It does cover well but I found it to be a bit chalky and heavy; it required a bit more blending than most other powd...read moreers would. The coverage was okay (meaning that it did cover pores and blemishes, etc) - I think the challenge was just that it didn't look all that natural. After I apply it with the brush that in itself is awkward to use, I then use my fingers and hand to blend it further and sometimes will spritz a Skindanavia product on top to make it look more natural. A Evian atomizer to go would work just as well. I may have to end up repurchasing only because I had extreme difficulty finding a powder with a significant SPF option.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

controls oil and helps cover rosacea
Here's a testimony that sometimes it's a good idea to "shop in your closet" (or makeup collection), and also that the right makeup brushes and application methods can make a difference. I was researching mineral powder foundations a couple weeks ago, and when I saw this one thought it looked awfully familiar. It turns out I already owned it -- I'd bought it on sale in a three-pack with blush and b...read moreronzer. I'd used a large fluffy brush to apply it and it had been just OK. I tried using a smaller, tighter brush and applying it with the short swirling strokes recommended, and got a different -- and better -- result. It helps control the oil in my T-zone, and definitely tones down (although does not quite completely hide) my mild rosacea. I use the bronzer that came with for contouring.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 11 people said helpful

Perfect for Oil Control
This has a silky texture. It doesn't break down on my oily face during the day. It sets my foundation beautifully. I haven't used it to set my under eye concealer yet, so I can't comment on how it does under the eyes. I use it on my T-zone and pat it in with my Sonia Kashuk No. 24 and am so pleased with the results.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
