Face powder / compact
I have it in my head, that I want a face powder, for days when I don’t want full coverage but want to even up my colour and hide a bit of shininess. What can you lovely lot recommend?

Boots No.7 pressed powder. It's brilliant and a good price for the quality.

I love Hourglass stuff.

I agree, Hourglass is probably the best for face powder.

Hourglass is amazing, but I’m not sure it’ll do what you want it to alone. On days I want to just even up tone a little, I either use a tinted moisturiser or a cushion foundation (the No. 7 one was great, but is discontinued).

Do Clinique still do super powder/double powder? Can’t remember the exact name but that’s a good one.

Or you could try a powder foundation like Bare Minerals?

I have a really good Laura Geller powder foundation, it’s really buildable and not at all heavy.
You could buy from qvc and send it back within 30 days to try it out?

I got the Laura Geller balance and brighten in fair and it’s great. The shade is perfect and I really like the finish.

I use Chanel Healthy Glow Mineral Powder. I don't wear much make up, but a quick brush of that makes me look less dead when necessary.

I love the Westman Atelier powder, it makes my skin feel velvety and the compact it's in is beautiful.
