Inexpensive Finishing Pressed Powder?

[carlym99]

Hi all - I'm hoping you guys can help me! I'm going out of town and I'm looking for an inexpensive pressed powder to help set my foundation. I usually prefer loose powder, but since I'm traveling I don't want the powder to get all over the place. I'm looking at the following products below on Ulta/Amazon, but am open to other recommendations! Thanks!

• Physicians Formula Multi-Colored Pressed Powder - Translucent
• Dermablend Compact Setting Powder
• NYX Professional Makeup HD Finishing Powder
• Essence Brighten Up! Banana Powder

Hi @carlym99,

If you're looking for a budget friendly setting powder, I recommend the SEPHORA COLLECTION - MicroSmooth Baked Foundation Face Powder . I love using this as a setting powder. You can also apply more product if you'd like to use this as a foundation.

While I can't speak to these particular products, I would recommend NYX if you're looking for a cheaper option or Dermablend if you're willing to spend the extra money. Other than the occasional product, NYX is consistently a solid drugstore brand. I love the Dermablend loose powder and Dermablend's makeup forte is definitely in foundations and setting powders.
