Could I cut my makeup setting powder with baby powder?
The setting powder that I buy is expensive and i'm almost out. I'm between jobs so I'm running low on cash. I use liquid foundation. Could I cut the setting powder with baby powder to make it last longer?Could I cut my makeup setting powder with baby powder?
Hey!
It depends. . . The skin on our bodies is different from that of our face. Even though baby powder is considerably gentle, it does contain fragrance which is a synthetic combination of chemicals.
I would more likely agree with using cornstarch but not too much as it might create a chalky effect with your expensive setting powder. Most quality powders do contain Zea Mays (corn starch), so that might not be a bad idea.
A setting powder I fell in love with but doesn't cost too much:
Everyday Minerals Finishing Dust. So natural, less expense!
Check out www.everydayminerals.com - I'm hooked!
Hope it helps!!!Could I cut my makeup setting powder with baby powder?
yes, or corn starch
Baby powder contains talc, which is know for clogging pores. So...might be great for your bottom, but not your face!
Baby powder is very gentle but it always appear chalky and not natural. Instead try an inexpensive pressed powder like Covergirl or Maybelline instead. This will help the makeup set after applying the liquid foundation.

Can you wear cream blush over tinted moisturizer or mineral powder makeup?
to me that would be the only way to wear it. i have never worn cream blush , but to me that makes a lot of sense.Can you wear cream blush over tinted moisturizer or mineral powder makeup?
It might be to greasy. Try applying powder after the moisturizer and then the cream blush.

What is the best powder/foundation or basically makeup for oily skin out there?
I have oily skin, especially t-zone and I've tried a lot of oil-free, dermatologist recommended makeup and all still pretty much give me that sweaty looking oily skin and it's not exactly attractive. Any suggestions? I do use Tazorac (a Retinoid) every night for my now very slight acne which is known to make your skin dry but my skin adapts to almost anything and eventually just goes back to being oily! *sigh*What is the best powder/foundation or basically makeup for oily skin out there?
My skin is super duper oily, like it's ridiculous. What I did was change my entire skin care regimen. I used to not moisturize because I was convinced it would make me oilier, WRONG. It helped me a lot and made my skin condition much better.
1. Don't sleep with make up on.
2. Cleanse face morning and night.
3. Use a nonalcoholic toner after washing your face.
4. 2-3 times a week, use a exfoliate after washing face.
5. Then moisturize.
6. Finally, put any acne medication on.
I use bare minerals and it works great. I use blotting pads too though!What is the best powder/foundation or basically makeup for oily skin out there?
Neutrogena moisturizer, it's a myth that people with oily skin don't need a moisturizer but really the body will try to fix the problem on it's own if you don't use a moisturizer, hence the oil.
Elf Powder base, it's good because it isn't a liquid so it won't dry up and crack and just all together look flaky and it blends into skin really well.
Bare Minerals, by far!
My skin gets oily in the summer, yet in the winter it is dry. Bare Minerals also offers a ';primer,'; which is a bit pricey but well worth it. What the primer does is drink up extra oil as well as getting rid of any dry skin flakes.
By the way; are you drinking enough water? I once went camping %26amp; forgot to bring bottled water for a whole week; my skin got oily from what I believe was drinking a lot of soda.
i have the oily T-zone as well. i use revlon color stay foundation. i usually blot atleast6+ hours bepending on humidity. and the im good for the rest of the time. using a primer helps alot as well. if i dont use revlon i use everyday minerals. you can try a sample kit for 3 dollars (just for the shipping) u get 3 foundations 1 concealer and 1 blush. :) and TONS of colots to pick from.
I have oily skin in my tzone as well and I have never found a powder or mineral foundation that worked for me. You can ask your question on these two forums:

Clinique.
i have really oily skin, and this is the only make up that works for me.
i also use Tazorac on my skin, and Clinique will definitely give you the look you want!!!!
Get a good brand that contains no oil in it. It is probably the best you will be able to do. I use oil free Lancome and love it.
i personallly like bare minerals
i have oily skin and it seems to work nicely because its kind of breathable and doesnt cause acne(another major problem of mine)
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup
and if that gets oily get the clean and clear oils sheets,, there so easy and i never go anywhere without them cause i have the same prob. s you :)
good luck!
rimmel stay matte
acually like most products in rimmel are good for oily skin.
neutragena liquid. theyhave this kid that helps prevent acne and covers up the blemmishes you already have :)
everyday mineral
or bare minerals
but everyday minerals is less expensive
Pancake powder.
i would suggest getting like a clinique foundation in powder
to get rid of oil use MAC blot powder, I swear by it.
I have the same (or similar) problem. My advice is to make sure to wash your face every morning and night - never sleep with makeup on or it will break you out. Use a gentle scrub a few times a week - not every day. You want to exfoliate and clear out your pores, but not over stimulate your pores to excrete more oil.
Make sure to moisturize with a moisturizer meant for oily skin, or else it won't really work well especially under makeup. Use one with some sort of SPF (depending on who much sun you expect to get during the day). The sun can not only increase your risk of skin cancer and age your skin, but it can also stimulate your skin to produce more oil.
Try using a foundation primer meant for oily skin. Smashbox has one called PhotoFinish Light that's meant for oily skin - and there's a few more out on the market. They are a little $$ but well worth it because they do help your foundation to last longer.
As for the foundation itself, you can use mineral foundation. A lot of ppl with oily skin swear by it. There are also liquid foundations on the market (if you need more coverage or just prefer liquid) that are specially designed for people with oily skin. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation for Oily/Combo skin is great, but make sure you wash all of it off your face at night, or else it will clog your pores. Rimmel Stay Matte Clarifying Foundation is great also as it's designed for oily skin and has salicylic acid in it to keep skin clear. They don't seem to have a huge selection of colors, but if you can find your shade, then it works great!
Also, don't forget to blot during the day with an oil abosorbing sheet like one from Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, or ELF (eyeslipsface.com). Although the products you wear will help cut down on oil production, they can't completely change the way God made your skin.
From my experience, I used to get oily skin an hour after applying makeup. When I changed up the regimin to encorporate things specifically designed for oily skin, I found that after about 5 hours, I'd need to blot and then my make up would last an additional 5 hours.
Good luck and I hope this helps.microsoft word

What type of powder makeup works best?
iv been trying to find a power makup that looks natural and feels soft on your face and ideas?What type of powder makeup works best?
Bare Minerals by Bare Essentials. Hands down the best.
I was skeptical of Bare Minerals for a long time, but it really does cover well without caking onto your face. Neutrogena and other companies put out cheaper versions of mineral make up, but nothing beats the Bare Essentials brand. Trust me, I've tried them all!What type of powder makeup works best?
Bare Minerals is definitely a good type, but it can sometimes be expensive. If you're looking for a good type that's not so expensive, i would try bare naturale by loreal. Its a great makeup, and most stores where it is sold (walmart, target, most drugstores) have a skin shade indicator, so it is easier to find your shade.
hope this helps!!
Maybelline Mineral Power, it works great and it's pretty affordable. You can get a kit that contains the basic powdered concealer, mineral veil, spot cover up (for occasional breakouts,) and brush for about $12 at your local walmart. Add a nice blush and lipstick or gloss and you are done. It gives you the same effect of those expensive mineral makeups.
jordana, you can find it at any drug store or the dollar store, it has all natural ingrediants, it's my favorite :) some beauty products come cheap, it'll be OUR little secret. Or mineral makeup, you can get that at Walgreens or any store, walmart is the cheapest way to go :)
There is a makeup company that is called Bare Escentuals, and all there stuff is amazing. They have all different shades of whatever you want, and their makeup is just wonderful! I tried their stuff a year ago, and have not found anything else like it. Here is a link so you can try it out.

Bare Escentials Mineral makeup. It was the original in mineral makeup and lasts for hours, looks natural, and covers even dark marks with very little product.
I use Covergirl's mineral makeup powder. It definitely makes my face look naturally flawless. Nobody ever can tell that I have makeup on!
Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation. its WONDERFUL! if you don't want to spend as much try Maybelline Mineral Powder Foundation.
Maybelline bare minerals is about 20$ and works really well. It also feels really light and doesnt clog pores!!!
Bare minerals is supposed to work really well and make your skin soft.
Coty Airspun Powder is a classic that will make your skin look flawless.

What's a good makeup powder that is good for..?
Oily faces and sensitive skin?What's a good makeup powder that is good for..?
Perscriptives is fantastic. Some counters still custom mix. Most department stores carry it. Go get a makeover and let it sit on your face for a while. Your skin should feel fresh and bare in a good powder. If it does not work Bare Minerals should. Do the same thing. Go fresh faced and have your face done. See how your skin feels after being in the makeup.
If that fails then it 's La Prairie and gulp! You will feel that in your pocket book. That is only a Sacks Fifth ave. However it is the best and lightest on the market.What's a good makeup powder that is good for..?
Glominerals pressed. So much better than Bare Escentuals.
Most lines carry a mattifying powder. For sensitive skin I would recommend: Neutorgena, Physician's Formula mineral compact, or Almay. Powder doesn't usually contain many irritating ingredients, but we all react differently. If you want to go department store brands, I recommend the Cover FX Matte powder available at Nordstroms. I love this powder, but it is $$.
Hollywood mineral foundation from LAminerals.com.
I use that and the NoHoGlo one and the oil control powder. They are all FANTASTIC! But the hollywood one has a lil better oil absorption. So when I want the glowy look I use the oil control powder, then the NoHoGlo over it.
My samples were only like $1-$3 and they shipped em free. Youshould try some.
Oh..btw you said you had sensitive skin. If I were you I would NOT USE Bare Escentuals/Bare minerals. It has bismuth oxychloride in it and it made my face itch like crazy! SHeer cover does too.....LAminerals does NOT have bismuth in it.
Bare Escentuals.
i like true blend powders
well most make up powder can efect your skin so the best one you can put on is baby powder it does'nt effect it all it does is make you light
Definetly bareEscentuals. I have an oily T-zone, and when I use this, I don't have to reapply or touch-up during the day. Then, use the mineral vail by bareEscentuals to finish up the look.
