Powder foundation

Looking for recommendations and tips for a powder foundation routine. I have been using just concealer and powder lately. Thanks.

My go to lately has been  MAKE UP FOR EVER - Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation - R230 Ivory. The two-sided sponge that it comes with is effective enough but I prefer a light dusting with my own bronzer brush since it is truly full coverage I haven’t even needed concealer. I have normal/oily t zone skin that can get seasonally dehydrated for reference. It has not caked once and lasts through a very humid summer day and minimal displacement while wearing a mask. Big shade selection. Pairs well with my go to concealer if needed SURRATT BEAUTY - Perfectionniste Concealer Palette.

The bare minerals original powder fondation is AMAZING! I find it looks a bit powdery at first, but as the day goes by the product melts into your skin and you look like your skin is glowing. It never broke me out and was very buildable. Also, it has an SPF in it so its perfect for the summer. Highly recommend

HI @morgsxoxo5 - I recommend using powder foundation only if you have oily skin. And when applying a powder foundation don't overdo it otherwise I will look cakey. Here are some product recommendations (note: I am not a fan of loose powder foundations as they are very messy)

Lancôme DUAL FINISH – Multi-tasking Longwear Powder Foundation Matte 100 Porcelelaine Delicate (C)

SHISEIDO - Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Custom Finish Powder Foundation

BAREMINERALS - BAREPRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation

COVER FX - Pressed Mineral Foundation

Have you ever used the MAC studio fix powder plus foundation? If so, how would you compare it to the bare minerals powder foundation recommended here?

Thank you!

I second @carlym99's recommendation. Loose foundation can get very messy and there's nothing more annoying than cleaning up spilled foundation on a carpet. lol I love the BAREMINERALS - BAREPRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation. It gives beautiful, natural medium to full coverage. It also has vitamins and minerals in it, so it's giving you skincare benefits, too! I recommend using it with the BAREMINERALS - BAREPRO Core Coverage Brush for the most flawless look. The brush is also great for travel.

Have you ever used MAC studio fix powder plus foundation ? Considering trying this as well.
