13 Best Face Powders

Easy solutions set up for you
This was the second part of a BzzCampaign that I received from Covergirl and is called Covergirl & Olay pressed powder in the shade of medium. The matching foundation that I had was the REHAB 2-in-1 Foundation in soft honey. I needed a pressed powder and I normally do not use it all over my face. I wanted it for my combination skin for areas like my nose and perhaps forehead, and to ...read morealso set my eye makeup area. My skin is a bit darker, because I received it in the summer and used it till this early Fall. I tried it over the foundation to see how it looked over my lines set in between my brows. I felt it was not as beneficial as with the foundation alone for me. I like it when used alone to take the shine off or keep away the effects of heat on certain areas. I did not take photos, but this is what I would definitely pull out while putting on that makeup for such an event. I use it to set my eyeliner, as I do not like to reapply it. It is for when, I don't want to use eyeshadow, or I need to adjust the colors. Combination skin needs separate treatments and this also blends in well with a slight sparkle. This is a quality I would want personally in a powder, as it lifts your look to what they might refer to as a soft brighter complexion. In the BzzAgent booklet, they gave information which might be useful. It has: gold pearls, yellow iron oxide, silk mica in the formulation. There are several color choices and some are not included here. Close to quotation for matched usage is stated: Fair- Ivory or Classic Ivory Fair/Light-Creamy Natural, or Buff Beige Light-Nude Beige or Natural Beige Light-Medium - Medium Beige, Warm Beige, Creamy Beige Medium- Soft Honey, Golden Tan Medium/Dark- Classic Tan If given a choice, I would go at least one shade lighter, because I am a different skin tone or color in the winter. I would put this between an 8 and 9 star, as it works with the product, which I will use more often and that is the foundation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Settles in lines & is supposed to have the opposite effect!
I've had pretty deep laugh lines over the past couple of years and this makes them seem so much worse it settles into every nook and cranny on my face. I definitely will not purchase again. The only plus was that the color was a very good match to my skin tone, I'm an olive skin-tone but it's winter and I used the 330 Light which was perfect.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
