Products related to Powder Foundations

Cream Powder Foundations
“As someone who typically steers clear of cream foundations, I was surprised at how much I love this foundation/powder duo”
Powder Foundations For Dry Skin
“I have very dry skin and so far LOVE this foundation. Typically after a "hydrating or moisturizing" foundation settles onto my skin it turns it into the Sahara and I start flaking”
Compact Powders
“I purchased to use this as a bronzer because it is hard to find a nice bronzer for my medium dark skin tone with regular bronzers so I use deep face powders instead. It has way too much fall out. I swirl my brush in it and the powder goes everywhere. 3 stars because I like the compact, good for makeup bags and travel”
Trending Powder Foundation
“I’ve tried a few different primers and setting powders with it with the same result. But over all, it’s the main foundation I use”
Powder Foundations For Oily Skin
“Great foundation if you have oily skin, Will be using this more in the summertime”
White Makeup Powders
“Great setting powder for all skin types - goes on very smoothly and doesn't leave a white tone like a lot of setting powders seem to do”
Powder Brushes
“This brush works so nicely with the new Rare Beauty powder - I imagine it’d also work great with other loose powders (may not be stiff enough for compact powder”
Pressed Face Powder
“This is the only pressed setting powder that I use now. i have five different loose powders that I cycle through, but this is the only pressed powder that I own. i have it in a full size and two minis, one mini from my car and one for touch ups. i can only thank the Japanese girls on TikTok who are raving about this powder”
Mineral Face Powders
“I’ve been using this every 2 hours through the day as an alternative to my usual touch up face powder, and it’s great! The twist- lock is genius- I get just the amount of powder I need, gently contour it in with the attached brush, then lock the twist lock to seal the powder in, pop up the small brush barrier, and put the lid back on, and it’s purse safe, no powder spillage. ”
Pressed Powders For Oily Skin
“definitely a good summer time foundation. good for oily skin & dry skin, i love it so much! highly recommend”
