I'm 44 and I have my lines but my T zone is very oily and I live in a very humid climate, after a hour I have oily dots in every pore on my nose😅... I tried L'Oreal and it didn't work... And why we don't have an essence powder foundation in Europe ❤
So happy to see a powder foundation video. I’ve used MAC Studio Fix powder for the last 10+years. I get compliments when I’m out on my makeup. It looks flawless and lasts all day without touch ups. It is also such a good value as a compact lasts and lasts! I put it on with a primer and use the MAC Stay Over setting spray. I have normal-dry skin. I’m 77years old. I worked in cosmetics until I was 73 and still wear full makeup every day. Love MAC products.
I have very dry skin and I’ve used the MAC powder foundation. It worked great on my skin. I’m an RN who works in surgery so I spend all day in a mask and this stayed all day.
In my early 60’s and love using Laura Geller. Nice coverage and doesn’t settle into fine lines around my eyes. For me, it lasts all day and looks natural 👍
I have very dry skin, so would never opt for powder foundation, except for a recent trip to Greece and Turkey, where I anticipated (and got) very hot weather and was trying to pack as lightly as possible. Tried the L'Oreal Infallible powder foundation on the advice of my sister. Could not have worked better!! Stayed put ALL day long. Beautiful coverage. Took the place of my normal liquid foundation, concealer, setting powder, and accompanying brushes.
The timeliness of this video for me is astounding. I just finished watching you powder foundation videos from six years ago and just ordered the MAC powder foundation. Also, the technique you taught for applying foundation has proven to be a major game changer for me. I tried it yesterday with the Fenty foundation and was blown away by how much better it looked on my skin than how I had been applying it. My husband agreed, telling me I didn't look like I was wearing any foundation at all, so another BIG thank you for helping me out so much.
That's awesome! I'm so glad it helped you! I should probably update that thing!! LOL! Also, I had to un-hide your replies! RUclips auto-hides replies and comments with links in them because of all the bots and spam accounts. It's for the best but is probably confusing for you guys! 😆
Love L’Oréal’s powder foundation ! Combo skin 58 yrs old…. Live in hot humid climate ! Also good for setting / touch ups other foundations ! Buildable coverage/ doesn’t feel heavy …. At least on my skin🥰have a happy taco 🌮 Tuesday y’all 😊
Powder foundations are my favorite!! And by far, the best one, I’ve tried is the Inika loose powder!!!! So fine, so natural. It is undetectable. So very pretty!!!
I live in Georgia and with the Laura Gellar foundation I use a pore smoothing powder on top of it to help with the and the oil control works perfectly. This is a liquid baked foundation and that is why I put a powder on top. This helps the powder foundation to last all day on oily skin.
I’ve tried bare minerals and the Natasha Denona powder foundations and both are fantastic. I find the bare minerals to be more full coverage while the ND is more medium but is still buildable. Both leave me with a beautiful, glowing skin like finish that I haven’t found with liquid foundations. I feel ND has a slight edge because it travels well and isn’t as messy to store and apply as bare minerals. But with that said, I love them both.
Hi! I came to your video because my all time favorite Raw Natural Beauty mineral powder has been discontinued for a few years but it occasionally pops up on eBay. It’s perfect for me as I have a TOUGH time finding the right shade for my skin. Thank you for doing this 😊
PUR powder foundation is hands down the best. I wish that all the reviews of powder foundations recently would include PUR's. I think everyone would be impressed at how much of a contender it is. Creamy, non-greasy, long-lasting, great shades (for my skin anyway, light neutral...they used to have 100 shades but I believe that has been cut back by now). I've been using it for over 5 years, tried all the others, none have even compared, for me. Thanks for bringing back the idea of powder foundation....and please do try PUR just to see where it would hold up against what you've already tried. Would be so interested to know what you think! :)
I use the MAC Studio fix. It’s amazing and yes the skin prep is necessary for me as I have dry skin. I’ve used when a little flaky and still good but better when not. MAC products are slept on but are so amazing.
I absolutely love Jane Iredale and have repurchased so many times in several shades. I rarely wear it alone these days, but love it over my regular foundation. It looks so smooth and beautiful and increases wear time. LOVE it!
I have so many. ND, Lawless, Pur, It, Elf, L’Oréal, MUFE, Laura Gellar, so many more. I really enjoy the Lawless. I live in humid Cleveland, my skin can’t breathe in the summer with liquid.
So glad you did this. I only wear powder foundation & wore nyx matte but not flat but now it’s discontinued so, I’ve been trying some out. The nyx had a beautiful finish that didn’t look like powder somehow. I’d prefer not to even try high end as it’s a product I do go through & idw fall in love w/ a pricey one. I’m gonna try the essence one now cuz of this & Taylor wynne has spoken highly over the years. It looks gorgeous on you, love how you show the application of each. I know that’s far more time consuming for you. 💕
I have had good luck finding Laura Geller makeup on Ipsy for greatly reduced prices. I now have her bronzer which I love, highlighter, blush of course, and I am awaiting delivery of a fresh powder foundation. Oh, and eyeshadow. I am 63, have normal skin, and have had a lot of success with her line. Thanks for this video!
@@suzanneyoung8011 Thank you!! I will be checking it out!! My Ipsy box with a baked foundation was apparently stolen off of my patio in a large apartment complex. So upset!!
I’ve been using the LG BnB in porcelain for years - I’m 54. My skin is normal/combo, but dry in the winter. I wear it over Korean sunscreen and it is perfect for me. It doesn’t collect in wrinkles at all. Highly recommend for mature normal to dry skin!
I applaud you for still review the Laura Geller foundation even though it never worked great for you. She also makes a fully matte version of her baked foundation that doesn't illuminate quite so much, but is also a little less forgiving in color.
@@kathrynphillips9344 - Just my usual skincare including sunscreen, and occasionally the Laura Geller primer. I personally haven't had a problem with it settling in my lines, but my friend has, so you're not alone.
I love the Laura Geller! I’m 54 with DRY skin and it wears really well on me. I use her spackle hydrating primer and a really dense brush and I get a good medium coverage out of it. My only issue with it is the shade range. In the winter I have to mix two shades together.
Couldnt wait to watch this as i love powder foundations!! The bareminerals original is the one i always return to, never lets me down. I fell in love with the Fenty. Quick to apply, beautiful all day but..i kept getting hard pan unfortunately 😢
Persé Pressed Mineral Foundation was a favorite of mine, decades back. (Porcelain) I have Laura Geller (Fair and Light) on the way. I am hopeful. I live in a very humid climate as well (FL) and enjoy quick, easy morning applications for work. I have been using Ciele Tint & Protect (w/50spf) all summer. Great product as well. *needs little powdering Thanks for the product reviews. Take care.
Thank you Stephanie for your thorough reviews; always learn a lot from you. I have the LAURA GELLER Fair Correcting Powder foundation and was pleased with it.
I LOVE my Natasha Denona powder foundation. I also love the Fenty powder foundation. Ive not tried the others but the two I mentioned are tried and true. This summer I've been reaching for ND the most and it's been fantastic for the super hot and humid NYC summer life
I am so happy that you are sharing this list. 15 years ago, I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the Too Faced Powder Foundation. They discontinued it, and I moved on to liquid. I have several of the ones you've shown, and I'm never in love with them. I realize I'm 60 now, so that may be my challenge....but I won't give up. Have you done a video on the steps you take to prep your skin... maybe that is where I'm failing. I live in Houston, so I know the hot and humid climate you speak of. Take care!!
Stephanie, thank you so much. I live in a very different climate than you (being in eastern Washington) and have dry/combination skin. I think I'm going to try the MAC one first. Really appreciate all the work that you put into your videos. 💖 btw, your eyes look AMAZING! What a perfect look on you!
I hear wonderful things about the Infallible & the Mac and I want to use them because of the rave reviews. However, the first ingredient on both is Talc, so for those who have concerns about that ingredient, please be aware and read labels.
Hello! 😊 I'm in my mid-50's & my skin is normal to dry with moderate to severe roseaca (worse in the sun & heat) & my face perspires easily & often. My ride or die is Laura Geller's Baked Balance & Brighten marbled powder foundation. I've been using her products well over 15 years now. I wear it over a water-resistant tinted mineral SPF 50 & those together give me close to medium coverage, & that helps control the perspiration too. You see, I need her flexability with the color and touch-ups are a dream. I also use & enjoy her baked bronzer, baked blush, marbled lipsticks, eyeliners, etc! I guess you could call me a devotee of hers!😅 I really hope some of your subscribers/viewers try her baked marbled powder products. I'll bet they're going to be pleasantly surprised.😊
Great video! It’s funny my daughter was asking me today if I like powder foundation?! I told her I don’t know many that are good for my oily skin. And lo and behold your video appears today! Thank you for your recommendations! ❤😊
Thank you for all the great info for combo oily skin. You gave me several ideas yo try! Love your channel. I watch all the time. I am 67 and a woman of color so then you for such a great channel of info. 😄💜💛😁
Awesome video. For some strange reason the Mac powder foundation will leave me with a breakout. Laura Geller and L'Oréal work well for me for short term wear. I can't wait to try the Fenty.
Thank you for this review! I have used Laura Geller intermittently, It Cosmetics Celebration powder foundation, and Jane Iredale in the past. My current favorite is the Glo Cosmetics Powder Foundation. It is *so smooth* - flawless ✨It’s costly & finding the right shade took a few trials, but I love it.
I love Mac Studio fix but I feel like it doesn’t cover very much. I guess I could try building it feels like it would take a lot. I like to use it over foundation
Thank you for your honest reviews and recommendations. I just received my Jane Iredale powder foundation. I would love for you to teach us how to apply it! I haven’t even tried it yet because I am afraid of using wrong application and wasting the expensive powder 🤦♀️ like you, I live in a very hot, humid area of Sunny Florida and find my mature combination skin gets very oily! I have always had dry skin, help! Thank you!
I have an older video but should do an update :) It should be one of the first few videos to. pop up if you search my name and powder foundation or how to apply powder foundation. 💗 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reviews. I love the Mac Studio Powder Plus. I carry it for touchups even if I am wearing a liquid foundation. Very long lasting. I also love the Jane Iredale Purepressed powder make up. Took it on a tour in Ireland and really held up over long days. Have you tried the Jane?
Hi Stephanie. Thank you! I’ve been wanting to try powder foundation but didn’t know where to start. Last week I purchased the Laura G. Foundation and it looks orange on me 🤪. Didn’t last either. I will definitely try the Fenty that brand seems to have my exact shade. Again, thank you.
It’s interesting, when you described your skin at the beginning of the video, it sounded just like mine, but as a long time user of Mac’s powder foundation it hasn’t been working for me lately. I’ve found that it’s started getting very oily on my nose just a few hours into my work day. Based on your video I might try the Fenty or the L’Oréal one. Thank you for this helpful video. I’m going to subscribe now.
I use the Laura Gellar, 54 with dry skin. Im in GA so deal with humidity. I use a light hand and a fluffy powder brush. I use the NYX concealer underneath for my primary coverage. I work a 12 hour shift and it lasts on me no primer.
Enjoyed your video! Definitely going to try MAC. Have you used the PUR 4in1 powder foundation? I used it while stationed in Hawaii and it help up well with the humidity!
Hello! I used Guerlain powder foundation for years very successfully but when I got into my early 60s ( I’m 64 now, dry sensitive skin) even if I prepped my skin exactly as I always did when I wore this foundation, it started to show the pores on my nose and chin BIG TIME. I was devastated. I loved using this. Any idea what I can do to make it work again? And why did it stop working? Getting so frustrated about it. Thank you. I love your reviews. So glad I finally subscribed!
the fenty foundation has kaolin in it which makes sense about the better oil control compared to the others. My favourite is actually the Makeup forever powder foundation, I have dry skin and always use this without any issue, it has great coverage too
I LOVED the original MUFE so much! It was in my last top powder foundations video. But they changed the formula and I didn't like the new version. I reviewed it in one of my roundups. I miss the old creamy version 😔
It's definitely a bit dryer/cakier? Plus the shade range is attrocious. 1N00 then a jump to 1N06. Really? I need a 1N01. I tried 1RN2 and it's porky pig pink and I can't bother w/yellow (which is good for my redness) because that starts at 4. I thought it was just Australia getting half the shades like usual but no. Their US website is the same. They think that's acceptable in 2024. Warm comes in at level 4 and there's 5 shades missing in neutral. Yay. Of course deep skintones are just "bye, sorry".
I recently discovered Laura Geller powder foundation and can’t tell you how many time other women compliment me on my skin when I wear it. I do live in a non-humid climate which is probably key when choosing a foundation.
@2CorgiMom I love Laura Geller foundation. The baked blushes and highlighters are very nice too. My other favorite is Clinique Superpowder Double Face foundation. I have normal to drier skin in winter.
Am new to your channel. Loved the presdntation that you did. Am 55 plus, and have a dry combo skin, could you kindly do a full tutorial on apllying powder foundation starting ftom skin prep🙏
I appreciate this review as I alternate between liquid and powder foundations at 55! I did discover Lancôme Dual Finish powder foundation a few years ago and it has performed very well on my combo skin - I’m also in a super hot, humid area in Memphis, so I feel your heat and humidity pain! 😂
i love the L'oreal one, it's perfection! the powder is like silk! i use it now and also the Maybelline super stay, but i think the Maybelline is not as good. i also love the Mac one, but with my combination skin i find that it gets too shiny during the hot summer months. i also love the Kiko powder foundation for winter. i tried the essence one too, but i couldn't see if it's doing anything for me. maybe because the shade was too light and they have a very poor shade range in general.
Your recommendations have helped me greatly and I thank you. The pores on my nose and cheek areas are visible no matter what type foundation I use including Laura Geller Baked Balance and Brighten, ELF Soft Glam Satin Foundation and About Face The Performer. I like these foundations a lot and would appreciate finding products to blur large pores. I have tried primers that claim to erase pores under foundations but have had no luck. Can you help ? PLEASE Thanks for all you do
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 love the Lawless powder I’ve so been debating about the Natasha D one but I feel like it sounds kinda the same IDK LOL!!! Guess I’ll have to try it to see 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, I am new to your videos and this was what I was looking for! What primers do you suggest for the powders? I am definitely combination skin as well. I never know how to prep for liquid or powder foundation. Thanks.
Perfect timing. With the hot weather, my everyday routine is skincare , tinted Sunscreen and a dusting of powder foundation . But im needing a soft matte formula for my 55yo combo oily skin and a brand that matches my dark tan skin. Sounds like Fenty will work for me. Would you still recommend Wander powder foundation?
I was going to but saw it was removed from retailers. I thought it was discontinued and then saw on their website it's been repackaged. It says it's the same formula, but these days you never know!
As another viewer mentioned, the timeliness of this video was spot on. Recommend that you do an annual powder foundation roundup this time of year….it’s hot. Foundation melts right off. As your neighbor (uptown), I often rely on your input due to our shared climate. Would be interested in your thoughts on the Chantecaille powder foundation. I know it’s pricey :/ They have testers at Blue Mercury on Magazine
You'll love what happens in my 2nd Amazon prime day video that's going up July 16th! 😆 I was just thinking a few days ago that if I can actually keep up with these top foundations videos on consistent rotation, this should work out to go live yearly around this time 🙌🏼 Great minds!
Hello! I just watched your best primers video and I went to this video because I love powder foundation. I never had problems with the pores around my nose and chin but as I get older I’m having problems. I have mostly dry skin with a little oily area around the nose. What primer would you recommend to help blur pores with powder foundation? Thank you.
Great review! I love powder foundation, especially because we travel quite a lot for work. I like the L'Oreal and also Too Faced, but I may give some of the others a try to compare. I also would be interested in what primers and setting sprays you use with these. 😊
Hi! Primers and spray preferences very widely from person to person depending on skintype, weather, skincare, etc. I added the lists of primers/setting sprays/powders I use and recommend (for various skintypes) to my description box :)
Love Laura Geller, but the shades just don't work for me - too peachy. After watching your video, I took the plunge and bought the Fenty Powder in 130. I'm one of those fair olives. It's the best color match of my life, and the finish is soft and beautiful. Thanks for the tip!
Are any of the similar to the Giorgio Armani luminous silk powder foundation. It was my favorite. I also have oily skin and some slight dry patches in winter. I tried fenty, but not as high a coverage, not as creamy, looks more powdery in comparison.
Hi Stephanie!! I’m hoping that you see my question and can answer it. Can you please share some examples of the best types of primers that work best under powder foundation?? I can never seem to get it right. I have the same skin type as you, if that makes it easier. Thank you in advance!!! 😊😊
I love powder foundations that have a glow but have never found one to last more than 4 hours. The only one was Laura Mercier Loose Mineral Powder Foundation that was discontinued several years ago.
Have you tried any Jane Iredale? My climate close to yours, and I am oily skinned. People tell me JI is great, but I don't have luck with powder foundations...❤

All of your recommendations for oily skin are spot on. Thanks for doing accurate reviews for oily skin folks.

Yes it’s a long time favourite
Totally agree!
I tried it a while back and recall getting shiny with it. I think it's better for less shiny t-zones in less humidity!
Their liquid foundation has 100 shades but all 100 are only available on their website. I don’t think their powder foundation ever had 100 shades.
What is your skin type?I have seen it but not tried it.
I’m 70. My fav is Jane Iredale for my combination skin.

Thanks for the review! Haven’t tried the ND yet, but I love my OG MAC Studio Fix! Been loving for years and won’t be without!
I hear wonderful things about the Infallible & the Mac and I want to use them because of the rave reviews. However, the first ingredient on both is Talc, so for those who have concerns about that ingredient, please be aware and read labels.
Thanks so much for this! I have been looking for a powder foundation for a long time.
Loving this series. Building a cart to try new primer, foundation and power so far, thanks to these videos
I am 52 with normal to oily skin. I have the Essence and the MAC. I love them both. They cover enough but don't look makeup-y.
Hello! 😊 I'm in my mid-50's & my skin is normal to dry with moderate to severe roseaca (worse in the sun & heat) & my face perspires easily & often. My ride or die is Laura Geller's Baked Balance & Brighten marbled powder foundation. I've been using her products well over 15 years now. I wear it over a water-resistant tinted mineral SPF 50 & those together give me close to medium coverage, & that helps control the perspiration too. You see, I need her flexability with the color and touch-ups are a dream. I also use & enjoy her baked bronzer, baked blush, marbled lipsticks, eyeliners, etc! I guess you could call me a devotee of hers!😅 I really hope some of your subscribers/viewers try her baked marbled powder products. I'll bet they're going to be pleasantly surprised.😊
I have used the Essence since you recommended it a while back. It works great for a quick application.
I love the Mac powder foundation. It’s the best for my combo mature skin!
Jane Iredale and Gabriel and his other line Zuzu Luxe. Would love to see you review those as well. 🙂
I'm surprised that you didn't have Jane Iredale. Even so, a great review especially for summer. They are so much lighter then foundation.
Jane started out great for me then turned cakey I never figured out what changed. It got tossed. 63 dry to normal skin.
@@karenpage5674after applying it, I do a light spritz with distilled water. Sets it beautifully.
Great video! It’s funny my daughter was asking me today if I like powder foundation?! I told her I don’t know many that are good for my oily skin. And lo and behold your video appears today! Thank you for your recommendations! ❤😊
Thank you for all the great info for combo oily skin. You gave me several ideas yo try! Love your channel. I watch all the time. I am 67 and a woman of color so then you for such a great channel of info. 😄💜💛😁
Awesome video. For some strange reason the Mac powder foundation will leave me with a breakout. Laura Geller and L'Oréal work well for me for short term wear. I can't wait to try the Fenty.
Thank you for this review! I have used Laura Geller intermittently, It Cosmetics Celebration powder foundation, and Jane Iredale in the past. My current favorite is the Glo Cosmetics Powder Foundation. It is *so smooth* - flawless ✨It’s costly & finding the right shade took a few trials, but I love it.
I love Mac Studio fix but I feel like it doesn’t cover very much. I guess I could try building it feels like it would take a lot. I like to use it over foundation
Thank you for your honest reviews and recommendations. I just received my Jane Iredale powder foundation. I would love for you to teach us how to apply it! I haven’t even tried it yet because I am afraid of using wrong application and wasting the expensive powder 🤦♀️ like you, I live in a very hot, humid area of Sunny Florida and find my mature combination skin gets very oily! I have always had dry skin, help!
Thank you!
I have an older video but should do an update :) It should be one of the first few videos to. pop up if you search my name and powder foundation or how to apply powder foundation. 💗 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reviews. I love the Mac Studio Powder Plus. I carry it for touchups even if I am wearing a liquid foundation. Very long lasting. I also love the Jane Iredale Purepressed powder make up. Took it on a tour in Ireland and really held up over long days. Have you tried the Jane?
I need to try it at some point. I'm glad you like Mac too!
Oh I'm so happy that you did this. I've used the lg & remember loving it.
I appreciate you so, so much !
Hi Stephanie. Thank you! I’ve been wanting to try powder foundation but didn’t know where to start. Last week I purchased the Laura G. Foundation and it looks orange on me 🤪. Didn’t last either. I will definitely try the Fenty that brand seems to have my exact shade. Again, thank you.
It’s interesting, when you described your skin at the beginning of the video, it sounded just like mine, but as a long time user of Mac’s powder foundation it hasn’t been working for me lately. I’ve found that it’s started getting very oily on my nose just a few hours into my work day. Based on your video I might try the Fenty or the L’Oréal one. Thank you for this helpful video. I’m going to subscribe now.
Laura Geller has a fuller coverage powder called Double Take. It’s great. I also live in the south and it totally holds up for me.
I use the Laura Gellar, 54 with dry skin. Im in GA so deal with humidity. I use a light hand and a fluffy powder brush. I use the NYX concealer underneath for my primary coverage. I work a 12 hour shift and it lasts on me no primer.
I used to use the Infallible, but Laura Gellar looks better.
Enjoyed your video! Definitely going to try MAC. Have you used the PUR 4in1 powder foundation? I used it while stationed in Hawaii and it help up well with the humidity!
Hello! I used Guerlain powder foundation for years very successfully but when I got into my early 60s ( I’m 64 now, dry sensitive skin) even if I prepped my skin exactly as I always did when I wore this foundation, it started to show the pores on my nose and chin BIG TIME. I was devastated. I loved using this. Any idea what I can do to make it work again? And why did it stop working? Getting so frustrated about it. Thank you. I love your reviews. So glad I finally subscribed!
You tried blurring Primers? And blurring finishing powders also after the foundation ?
Can you suggest a good blurring primer? There are so many on the market and I have never used one before. Thanks
the fenty foundation has kaolin in it which makes sense about the better oil control compared to the others. My favourite is actually the Makeup forever powder foundation, I have dry skin and always use this without any issue, it has great coverage too
I LOVED the original MUFE so much! It was in my last top powder foundations video. But they changed the formula and I didn't like the new version. I reviewed it in one of my roundups. I miss the old creamy version 😔
It's definitely a bit dryer/cakier? Plus the shade range is attrocious. 1N00 then a jump to 1N06. Really? I need a 1N01. I tried 1RN2 and it's porky pig pink and I can't bother w/yellow (which is good for my redness) because that starts at 4. I thought it was just Australia getting half the shades like usual but no. Their US website is the same. They think that's acceptable in 2024. Warm comes in at level 4 and there's 5 shades missing in neutral. Yay. Of course deep skintones are just "bye, sorry".
I have sensitive combo skin and I like the MAC one.
I recently discovered Laura Geller powder foundation and can’t tell you how many time other women compliment me on my skin when I wear it. I do live in a non-humid climate which is probably key when choosing a foundation.
@2CorgiMom I love Laura Geller foundation. The baked blushes and highlighters are very nice too. My other favorite is Clinique Superpowder Double Face foundation. I have normal to drier skin in winter.
Am new to your channel. Loved the presdntation that you did. Am 55 plus, and have a dry combo skin, could you kindly do a full tutorial on apllying powder foundation starting ftom skin prep🙏
Yeah for your reviews. It’s so hot here in Phoenix so looking for a powder foundation
I appreciate this review as I alternate between liquid and powder foundations at 55! I did discover Lancôme Dual Finish powder foundation a few years ago and it has performed very well on my combo skin - I’m also in a super hot, humid area in Memphis, so I feel your heat and humidity pain! 😂
Would love an update on the best primers!!!
i love the L'oreal one, it's perfection! the powder is like silk! i use it now and also the Maybelline super stay, but i think the Maybelline is not as good. i also love the Mac one, but with my combination skin i find that it gets too shiny during the hot summer months. i also love the Kiko powder foundation for winter. i tried the essence one too, but i couldn't see if it's doing anything for me. maybe because the shade was too light and they have a very poor shade range in general.
Your recommendations have helped me greatly and I thank you. The pores on my nose and cheek areas are visible no matter what type foundation I use including Laura Geller Baked Balance and Brighten, ELF Soft Glam Satin Foundation and About Face The Performer. I like these foundations a lot and would appreciate finding products to blur large pores. I have tried primers that claim to erase pores under foundations but have had no luck. Can you help ? PLEASE Thanks for all you do
Been using Laura Geller Balance and Brighten in Fair for years now
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 love the Lawless powder I’ve so been debating about the Natasha D one but I feel like it sounds kinda the same IDK LOL!!! Guess I’ll have to try it to see 🤣🤣🤣
I love the Lawless powder, too!
My favorite is the dior powder and the ingredients are 100% non acne causing
Hi, I am new to your videos and this was what I was looking for! What primers do you suggest for the powders? I am definitely combination skin as well. I never know how to prep for liquid or powder foundation. Thanks.
Perfect timing. With the hot weather, my everyday routine is skincare , tinted Sunscreen and a dusting of powder foundation . But im needing a soft matte formula for my 55yo combo oily skin and a brand that matches my dark tan skin. Sounds like Fenty will work for me. Would you still recommend Wander powder foundation?
I was going to but saw it was removed from retailers. I thought it was discontinued and then saw on their website it's been repackaged. It says it's the same formula, but these days you never know!
As another viewer mentioned, the timeliness of this video was spot on. Recommend that you do an annual powder foundation roundup this time of year….it’s hot. Foundation melts right off. As your neighbor (uptown), I often rely on your input due to our shared climate. Would be interested in your thoughts on the Chantecaille powder foundation. I know it’s pricey :/ They have testers at Blue Mercury on Magazine
And your thoughts on the Jane Iredale powder foundation.
You'll love what happens in my 2nd Amazon prime day video that's going up July 16th! 😆 I was just thinking a few days ago that if I can actually keep up with these top foundations videos on consistent rotation, this should work out to go live yearly around this time 🙌🏼 Great minds!
Hello! I just watched your best primers video and I went to this video because I love powder foundation. I never had problems with the pores around my nose and chin but as I get older I’m having problems. I have mostly dry skin with a little oily area around the nose. What primer would you recommend to help blur pores with powder foundation? Thank you.
Hi Stephanie! What do you use to apply these powder foundations? Sponge or brush?
Great review! I love powder foundation, especially because we travel quite a lot for work. I like the L'Oreal and also Too Faced, but I may give some of the others a try to compare. I also would be interested in what primers and setting sprays you use with these. 😊
They're linked in my description box. Thanks!
Which one (besides the L’Oréal) is your top pick for blurring? Thanks as always!
Lawless for me.
Thank you for sharing. Can you tell me what primer and setting spray you would use for these powders please?
I saw another YT video and she said any silicone based primer works well.
Hi! Primers and spray preferences very widely from person to person depending on skintype, weather, skincare, etc. I added the lists of primers/setting sprays/powders I use and recommend (for various skintypes) to my description box :)
@@StephanieMarie thank you for responding ❤️
What brush do you suggest to use woth these? I feel like how you apply makes a difference. Interested in the Fenty and Essence foundations
Love Laura Geller, but the shades just don't work for me - too peachy. After watching your video, I took the plunge and bought the Fenty Powder in 130. I'm one of those fair olives. It's the best color match of my life, and the finish is soft and beautiful. Thanks for the tip!
Are any of the similar to the Giorgio Armani luminous silk powder foundation. It was my favorite. I also have oily skin and some slight dry patches in winter. I tried fenty, but not as high a coverage, not as creamy, looks more powdery in comparison.
Hi Stephanie!! I’m hoping that you see my question and can answer it. Can you please share some examples of the best types of primers that work best under powder foundation?? I can never seem to get it right. I have the same skin type as you, if that makes it easier. Thank you in advance!!! 😊😊
She listed them in the description box for this video ❤
I tried Laura Geller at different times over the years. It is a pretty foundation, but I need more coverage than it provides.
I love powder foundations that have a glow but have never found one to last more than 4 hours. The only one was Laura Mercier Loose Mineral Powder Foundation that was discontinued several years ago.
Primer and setting spray should be your best friend when it comes to powder foundation!
What is best for dry skin?
I never thought to use a beauty sponge for my powder foundation!
Where was this video in May?! LOL I was thinking on getting powder foundation for my trip to Italy. Just didn’t know which one to buy. Now I know 😆
Have you tried the Makeup Forever powder foundation? I like that one.
Yes. Both the previous version that I loved and the reformulation are in foundation roundups
Have you tried any Jane Iredale? My climate close to yours, and I am oily skinned. People tell me JI is great, but I don't have luck with powder foundations...❤
Jane Airedale and Chantecaille powder foundations are excellent and silkier than the options shown here.
