Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder, $22
Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder, $3.99
The Breakdown:
Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder is a midday godsend for my oily T-zone. Applied as the last step in my makeup routine, my face stays shine-free for a solid eight hours. The white powder is so fine and translucent, it doesn't dull the color of my blush, bronzer or foundation the slightest bit. Essence All About Matt fixing powder also temporarily stops shine, but I have to keep applying it to my oily spots throughout the day. (And, because it doesn't include a mirror, I'm forced to casually use my webcam to apply it.). The drugstore dupe also loses points for appearing slightly white on top of my makeup, enough to lead me to touch up my muted blush before the day is over.
The Winner:
