I need help finding a good face powder?

i would prefer a loose powder, and i've tried many but after a couple hours it just looks caked on, not natural. my skin is a little oily, but not dry. so if you have any suggestions on any loose powders that will not look caked on that will look just like i did as when i first put it on, even after many hours, i would love it(:


thank youI need help finding a good face powder?
Honestly, bare Minerals is the best loose powder I've ever used. You could also try the L'oreal Bare Naturale line.





The secret to it not looking cakey is starting with a little bit of product then building up if you need it. You can always add more, but taking it away is harder. Then, BUFF BUFF BUFF with the brush so you get more of the air brushed look that you're looking for.





Also, try using blotting papers instead of adding more product throughout the day. It will take away shine without making your powder go cakey.I need help finding a good face powder?
Sonia Kashuk loose powder (I use the regular loose powder, not the mineral loose powder) is awesome. I apply it with a big, poofy powder brush (ecotools) instead of a puff and it looks natural all day and doesn't get cakey at all.





You can get this powder at Target for about 7 to 8 dollars and the ecobrush also for about 6 dollars.
I use CoverGirl and it works great!


Try putting on a liquid foundation on (thinly) before you powder. This way you won't have to use as much powder and this might help with the caked-on look.


If its an option for you, you could look into powder in a compact. Since you don't get as much it prevents looking like a lot.


Hope I helped :)
i use loreal, its great! i use the mineral loose powder foundation :)

Can i use baby powder as an alternative after shaving my face?

i like to use talc, but it's hard to find fragrant talc as an after shave for my face nowadays in stores. i've come across some sites that say baby powder still contains talc. so i bought some baby powder with talc and i was wondering if it's useful like the old school after shave talc?Can i use baby powder as an alternative after shaving my face?
You should use After Shave Blam of Loreal, Gillette etc , They are better then lotion and Good too.

I don't think it's a good idea as you're meant to moisturise after shaving and not dry your face up which is what talc powder will.

Any face powder suggestions for my oily face?

Please suggest some powders available here in the Philippines..Any face powder suggestions for my oily face?
Well, it's not going to make your face less oily if you put on powder. There is a mask by Clinique, it's like only $20, and it lasts a while. It's the emergency mask, it's made for oily skinned people like us, and the oily skin goes away, when you get older of course. Any face powder suggestions for my oily face?
Jane Iredale pure pressed minerals, or if that is too heavy try Jane Iredale amazing base loose mineral powder... I love it and I hate all other mineral makeup, I think they make you look cakey. But jane Iredale doesn't...the first one is too heavy for me... but is made especially for oily skin, ...Both of them do not clog your pores. you can buy both and see which one you like, you can return the other. The purepressed comes in a really pretty case too...I hated sending it back. You can get it at www.skin-one.com or at janeiredale.com, but skin-one gives you better free samples :)
I know you can order this easily. All of their products are being sold because they are trying to make a new line of products so these are cheap. Here's the mineral Powder, and the oil blotting sheets that work really well.

How do u know if u have applied to much loose powder to your face?

When it looks like you're wearing makeup.How do u know if u have applied to much loose powder to your face?
When you look dead.How do u know if u have applied to much loose powder to your face?
If you can actually see that there is makeup on your face - you've put on too much.
The best way not to apply too much is by making sure your using the right amount. First swirl the powder in your brush, then tap off a little (most women forget this step) and then apply in swirling motion.





You want to apply it so that you should not even notice that your wearing powder. It should just look like healthy, non oily skin!
I would take one of those maginifying mirrors. Usually, when you can see each and every piece of the powder sitting on your face, then it's too much. Also if you turn a hair dryer on low [and cool] and place it about a foot from your face then you should be able to see whether it's too much judging on whether it's visible that a lot of it is coming off.





%26lt;3hopethathelps. [:
when you can blow it off and when it gets stuck on your hand if you barely touch it.
when you touch it with your finger or clothes and get the powder on it
if you can see the particles on your face!
pat your face is powder flies off then it is too much but if it doesnt then you are just fine!!





stand in front of a mirrior when you do it!!





dont ever ask your mom or dad they will always tell you that you are wearing to much make-up when you arent!!!
U will know just look at the mirror


and see if u look like a paiting statue


then that is too much
If you can see the powder on your face, there's too much. If you touch it with your finger and your finger has the color on it, it's too much.





It should be applied to look and blend in as naturally as possible.

Whats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?

I have oily/dry skin kinda ofWhats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?
The simple answer is if you want more sheer, natural-looking coverage go for a liquid and if you want more matte, concealing coverage go for a powder.





If you have oily skin wear powder because it will absorb the oil. If you have oily skin and you still want to use a liquid foundation, make sure it's oil free (like Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation or MAC Studio Fix).





If you have dry skin wear a liquid because it will add shine and luminosity to your skin and won't wear off.





If you have fine lines or wrinkles don't wear a powder because it gathers in the creases and will make you look older.





Hope this helps :)Whats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?
if you have any dryness, please do not use a powder! it settles in the flakiness and shows up as rougher, scratchy patches on your skin.





try and find an oil-control liquid.





maybelline pure is one option


you can also try one of clinique's liquid foundations. on their website, look for foundations labeled with II, which is a complexion oily in the T-zone, and dry in the cheeks/eyes. some clinique choices:


1. perfectly real make-up


2. superbalanced make-up


3. superfit make-up


4. stay true make-up


5. almost make-up





those are all good choices. i have the exact same skin type, and i'm looking at the superbalanced make-up.





good luck!
I am a huge mineral makeup advocate. It is a powder, and some people don't like that, however just blend a squirt of your facial moisturizer with it for a great liquid foundation that's good for your skin! Traditional liquid foundations have all kinds of nasty ingredients and chemicals, plus most animal test which is just awful.





I use http://Simply-Minerals.com





It is 100% all natural, chemical free, cruelty free, and vegan!

What face powder don't block pores and causes acne or best for sensitive skin?

face powder also that can conceal little acne like pimple marks...What face powder don't block pores and causes acne or best for sensitive skin?
causes acne ...


Oily or heavy make up: Heavy make-up clogs the pores and oily make-ups add more oil, which only adds to the problem if oily skin already exists. Cosmetics, especially certain moisturizers, foundations and pomades contain lanolin, petrolatum, vegetable oils, butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid.





What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.





Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:

I suffer from systic acne and I absolutely love Bare Minerals. The foundation is soo good and it causes no breakouts. Its around 25$ for the foundation but it lasts b/c you need very little for great coverage. My face is very scarred and discolored yet the foundation lasts for around four months.
physician's formula products are good as well and they are sold at Walmart, CVS, Target, etc.
