Quick makeup powder help and tips?
I have brown hair and brown eyes. I normally wear liquid foundation, but I'm getting tired of wearing it. I want to try powder. I've heard I need a moisturizer, primer, and then the powder. Is this right? What are some cheap, but great brands for each of these three items? Also, what is the difference between matte, loose, and all those different kinds of powders %26amp; what do you recommend? I really need to know and I really need some tips on all of this. I want a clear, fresh, glistening, natural looking face. Thank you so much!Quick makeup powder help and tips?

Where to find a thick makeup powder?
Because all the drugstore bought average and even mineral loose powders and pressed do not cover up some blemishes well enough. So where could i find a good, thick powder that covers everything? I dont want to add foundation to my face under the powder bc it breaks my face out and causes some redness after a week or so.Where to find a thick makeup powder?
I use Neutrogena's MicroClear foundation. It unclogs pores while its on your face, and it covers everything! You might need a little concealer before you put it on though.Where to find a thick makeup powder?
Have you tried concealer ?
Use a little bit of concealer on your blemishes only, then follow with your powder.
If you don't have concealer, use a dab of foundation only where you need it.
Try Eve Pearl or MACmicrosoft word

What is a good makeup foundation/powder for acne/blackhead prone skin?
Looking for a liquid/cream base foundation and powder to set that wont clog my pores, prefer something I can get at walmart or walgreens rather than having to go to a specialty store like Sephora.What is a good makeup foundation/powder for acne/blackhead prone skin?
Definitely Neutrognea Skin Clearing Foundation. It's liquid, and it contains salicylilc acid in it so it helps get rid of acne while covering it. It's also oil free so it wont clog pores! I love this stuff! You can get it at pretty much any store that carries makeup, like target, walgreens, or walmart.What is a good makeup foundation/powder for acne/blackhead prone skin?
I've struggled with acne and oily skin my whole life. Last year I switched to Mary Kay's mineral foundation powder! Absolutely love it! It covers great, doesnt sweat/smudge off, and most importantly doesnt break me out! (oil free and doesnt clog pores!)!! Plus, when I added up the prices, Mary Kay's makeup was about the same as the stuff I bought at drugstores and walmart!
I'm 23 years old and used to think Mary Kay was old lady makeup but since last year, I have totally changed my mind. I love and wont use anything else!
I would say everyday minerals is the best. It's 100% natural, affordable, and it makes your skin appear flawless. Almost every review I have read has been positive about the product. You can even recieve a free sample online to see if you like it.
try neutrogena i 4got the line but u'll find it @ walgreens/walmart/target. it has salicylic acid. im pretty sure it works but i cant use salicylic acid so i havent tried it. if ur light skinned it will definitely work tho!
try physicians formula or almay and if you wanted to get somthing not at a drug store try clinique. these are all the ';good for your skin'; makeups. hope i could be a help :)
any mineral make-up its natural so wouldn't block your pores or damage your skin

Looking for a good loose powder to set makeup. and a good foundation or tinted moisturizer?
im looking for a good foundation or TM that will even out my skin tone, last all day, and give me a glow. any suggestions? i am also looking for a good... not too expensive loose powder to set my makeup with. ive never used loose powder to set it so im wondering what kind to use. does it hafta be lighter than my skin color? the same color? any ideas?Looking for a good loose powder to set makeup. and a good foundation or tinted moisturizer?
If you're asking about tinted moisturizer that should mean that you have a pretty good complexion. TM isn't good for oily complexions and won't give much coverage for spots or freckles. If you choose a tinted moisturizer you should just wear it by itself, not with any powder.
If so you are lucky enough to have good skin, test out any brand of foundation that suits your wallet. You have to test to get the colour right. It should blend in to your jawline to look almost invisible (just making blemishes on your skin less obvious) for you to consider it.
Coral Colors is a brand that sells cheap loose powders. The difference between cheap and expensive powders is the texture. It will be lighter than your skin tone but if you pick translucent powder it should set your make-up invisibly. Buy a good large brush and to apply dab it in the powder, then 'bang' the brush upside down a couple of times gently so that there isn't got too much powder on the tip of the brush.
Don't be afraid to test out different brands. You are looking to buy brands and colours that look natural and that suit your budget.
You should always use moisturizer under make-up so that the make-up doesn't block your pores.Looking for a good loose powder to set makeup. and a good foundation or tinted moisturizer?

It all depends on what kind of foundation you like, there are a few types out there that I LOVE and use on many of my clients, I use Revlon custom Creations which isn't to expensive usually 8-15 dollars, depending on where you go. But I also LOVE Dream Mate Mousse foundation, which creates a natural look and evens out your skin very nicely and is very light weight which makes you feel like you have nothing on.And for a loose powder, loose powders never really give an effect unless you get a color too dark for your skin. For you I would go with a Translucide loose powder by Loreal its naturally luminous powder that cost only about 5-6 dollars to get. And if you want a glow, get a moisturizer I use clean%26amp;clear morning glow, you put it on before your make up and it glows right through your cover up, showing radiant skin. The foundations I just mentioned will give you a good enough color for your skin, and you will not need any blush to make your make up stand out.
sorry i dont know much about loose powder, but rimmel do a brill pressed one, its called ' Stay Matte' and for foundation Dream Matte Mousse.
If i was you , i would try the testers out in the stop. Always test base makeup, such as foundation, powder or concealer, on the inside of your wrist because the skin tone here most resembles the skin tone on your face.
A really good loose powder is Covergirl. I love it

Which powder mineral foundation makeup brand is best?
I would like your honest opinions, ladies, especially from white medium skinned women like me, on which brand REALLY is the best for the $. Thanks!Which powder mineral foundation makeup brand is best?
As an Aesthetician, many of my clients have raved about Bare Minerals. At the place where I work, they use La Bella Donna, and many of my clients who have used both of these mineral based makeups say that they don't see much of a difference between the two.
My suggestion is to go to a makeup counter where mineral makeup is sold, get a free makeup application, wear the makeup for the entire day and see if it wears well or not. Get samples if you can.
I think you will see that there is very little difference between the different mineral makeup companies, so you might want to go with the less expensive line.Which powder mineral foundation makeup brand is best?

I have been using bare minerals...I love it, but can't afford it...so I have switched to Physicians Formula...I can buy it for $10.00 and I love it as much as bare minerals.
BTW...mineral make up is the only way to go...it is awesome!! Good Luck!!
bare essentials alllll the way!
even though they have tacky info-mircials
that make up really does work
I use myself, and it makes my skin look flawless!
and it's not that expensive.
Physicians Formula Loose Powder Mineral Foundation.
BARE ESCENTUALS MINERAL MAKEUP IS THE BEST and for the a great price, you should try ebay because some sellerz offer the highest quality makeup for alot less
If you're willing to be extravagant, Bare Minerals is ultimately the best choice. For a starter kit, I believe it's around $60. Here is the link to their website: http://www.bareminerals.com/?CMP=KNC-GPS
If you're not interested in spending a lot of money, an close second to Bare Minerals is Bare Naturale from L'Oreal. You can find it at any drugstore. I bought it at Wal-Mart for about $9-$10. This is what I use, and it works great! It feels really light, covers any skin discoloration, and at barely any cost.

i love bare minerals by loreal paris. i have really fair skin and it works great. and its really light too!!!
I like Youngblood or Bare Minerals. They are great and you can control the coverage by how much you put on. They don't clog your pores and gives you a very natural glow.
Most people say Bare minerals, but that's mainly because they advertise soooo much that more people have tried it and nothing else!
My best recommendation is to try SAMPLES of different mineral makeup.
I did that recently and ended up buying mine from LAminerals, the Hollywood formula. THere's a NoHoGlo formula that's more glowy and lighter, but sometimes I need more coverage. So...I use both.
I had tried Arbonne and Bare minerals before, but it made my face itch. Found out it does that to a lot of people. It's the Bismuth Oxychloride in it that does that.
They don't put that in the stuff I ordered from LAminerals.com
Their samples are really cheap by the way, and they shipped it to me free!
P.S. No autoshipment commitments!~ Hoorah!
