A good powder product is a must-have. It helps you set the foundation and concealer. When you are out and need to fix your makeup it is quite helpful as well.
I’m ridiculously strict about powder. Not many products can satisfy me at all. Lots of girls love Chanel and Dior ones, but they are very bad in my eyes. Chanel powder is in good quality but it hardly does anything. What’s more, for Asian girls, it can easily make your skin look dull after hours. What about Dior? Well, their powder products are not even in good quality to me. So Bobbie Brown? Oh, well, I hate it. I guess I sound very picky. Hehe. :P
Pressed powder would have higher coverage if compared to loose powder. It is also easier to carry with. Loose powder is great to use after foundation/concealer. Some pressed powder could be used dry or wet while loose powder usually is used dry.
Anyway, here are my favourites. Seriously, not many! I’m still trying to discover.
1. Giorgio Armani Silk Foundation Powder (N0 SPF)
As all of you can tell, I am a huge fan of this brand. I have most of their products and I always love to test out their new ones.
Anyway, this seems their most famous one. I guess there is another version of it with SPF in Asia.
Silk Foundation Powder could be used wet or dry. It has natural to full coverage. Usually if you use it as dry application, the coverage is less. I love it. It functions pretty much just like a loose powder when being used dry which gives you a natural look. Or, when not using foundation, I apply it after base/primer in either dry or wet application. Great in summer. Might be too dry for dry skin though.
2. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Powder (No SPF)
