Makeup Review: Loose Powders

A list of some of the loose powders available that we've tried.

1.Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder -  By Dr. Evil. I definitely recommend this to women who want to minimize their pores. I'm so impressed with it. So fine to the touch and when you put it on it doesn't scream "sahara" on your skin. I concentrate mostly on my t-zone and chin. This powder has been included in InStyle's Beauty Best Buys several times. Price is mid-range and available at their Store in Bonifacio High Street.

2. Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder - Has a beige tint and works great in setting your under eye concealer.  You can use the velour puff or a small fluffy brush to apply.  It has a powdery texture.  What I have came with a concealer duo, and I would definitely repurchase a solo jar once I'm out.  A must-have in my opinion.  Price is around Php1,500.00 ( I think, don't quote me pls.) and it is available at Rustan's Department Store.

3. Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil - Has a light pinkish tint and the texture is very fine but not the powdery type.  Available in 2 shades, light and dark.  Currently not available here in Manila.  Not something I would go out of my way to purchase.

footnote:  I noticed that whenever I would use a translucent(white) loose powder, my skin would look kind of ashy.  That's why I lean towards those that have a beige/yellow tint to them.  Does that happen to you?

Thanks for reading and see you next time!
