Hey ya’ll, any recommendations for face powders that I can travel with?
I have oily skin so I always make sure I carry a powder in my purse to keep the oil in check throughout the day. I love e.l.f Cosmetics Perfect Finish HD Powder as my travel but I’ve had to replace it four times now because it keeps breaking apart in my purse after a while. Is this something I should expect with all compact powders? Maybe it’s the type of casing? Anywho, I am open to trying new products and wanted to know what you all carry for a powder (if you do) and any recommendations?
NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder. The mini is a good way to try it out. Then when you decide it’s the best thing you could possibly find for oily skin you can buy the full size for home and leave the mini in your bag. I sat on this one for a long time assuming other mattifying powders would perform better. They didn’t, or at least to to the extent this one does.
Do you use the sheer or a shaded one?
The powder is great but I am always upset about the grids at the bottom 😩 so difficult to dig out last bits
I alternate between applying it with a BB type sponge, triangle puff or brush instead of the typical compact sponge applicator. Brushes seem to take majority out of the grids I find.
Huda beauty loose powder is amazing for oily skin and it comes in minis too.
For presses powder there is charolette tilbury, Pat McGrath, huda beauty, and bare minerals.
CT comes in a mini also.
I have a MAC compact blotting powder I carry in my purse for touch-ups. It has never broken and works well.
I always have one in my purse too, I love how it controls the shine in my t-zone without getting cakey or leaving a weird cast on my face like some pressed powders.
