Im also very pale if that matters, I just want to know which brand gives you the flawless natural look.
Link are aprreciated,
Thanks in advance!What is the best brand/type of foundation, concealer, pressed powder?
Almay is a very good brand.
I use foundation and pressed powder.
Make sure you use as little powder as possible,
you don't want to look powdery.
Good Luck!What is the best brand/type of foundation, concealer, pressed powder?
You can wear this on its own, thats what I do. I LOVE this foundation!!!

What drugstore pressed powder will give you good coverage?
I would like a pressed powder that has good coverage for summer. PLEASE be specific with names and brands. EVERY ANSWER IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!! Thanks for your time. xoxo maryWhat drugstore pressed powder will give you good coverage?
I use-
Covergirl Clean pressed powder (in the green container)
It is literally the best powder ive ever used. A plus to using it is it makes your skin look lovely!!! :DWhat drugstore pressed powder will give you good coverage?
i agree with the covergirl clean makeup pressed powder.
it does twice the work-
it covers imperfections and helps ur skin look shine free while helping fight imperfections because it has salicylic acid.
Covergirl has good pressed powders.
i went on youtube and of course MAC was a popular suggestion
another was almay as well as clinique (oil free)

What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?
And what is the best lengthening+separating mascara?What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?
I'd never been able to wear powder foundation until I discovered Mark Cosmetics Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation. Since I have freckles and sometimes acne to cover, I needed something that would cover evenly and stay put for at least 6 hours. If you're looking for something similar, this is the answer. It has amazingly natural coverage and doesn't feel sticky at all like most liquid foundations can. You can check it out at http://www.mymarkstore.com/clindstrom
I saw that someone else listed the Blu Ray Pressed Powder, which is excellent as well. It provides good, even coverage and stays on for about 6 hours. It all depends on the amount you're willing to spend. Blu Ray goes for about 35 bucks and Mark goes for about 8 bucks. I have both, but only use the Blu Ray for special occasions. As for mascara, it seems that waterproof formulas go on with less clumping and hold curl/length all day. I have two favorites: Cover Girl Lash Blast and Mark Cosmetics Lash Splash. These both have awesome applicators that separate lashes and add incredible length. They also stay put all day - especially good formulas for hot humid weather. Hope this helps you out!What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?
Best Foundation: Hello Flawless by benefit cosmetics. This stuff is amazing. Its like foundation, powder and concealer all in one, plus it blends really well.

Best Mascara: Covergirl Lash Blast! http://www.covergirl.com/products/produc鈥?/a>
i don't use powder pressed foundation (sorry) but i can help you out with the mascara. rimmel london glam eyes works pretty good for lengthening and separating even though it's supposed to be a volumizing mascara. the only thing i dislike about this mascara is that you can only apply about 2 or 3 coats or it will get clumpy and crusty and you'll get spiderlashes.
CARGO' Blu-ray pressed powder and Dior's DiorShow mascara. Both are available at Sephora:

They're worth every penny and I can't explain how good these products are.
purminerals foundation?
it's supposed to be a foundation, concealer, spf, and finishing powder (the only thing you're missing is a primer.)
i haven't triiied it..but i'm about to buy it lol.
really good reviews though.
maybelline define-a-lash lengthening and/or rimmel london sexy curves mascaraa are the best!

I've been using Maybelline Dream Matte Powder and its pretty nice. I like the coverage, and the texture...but it wont stay on. It fades fast and gets all cakey if i sweat.
Any suggestions on a different powder?
I was thinking about getting the Loreal True Match is that any good?What is your favorite drugstore pressed powder?

Loreal True Macth super blendable power is the bestttt ever from Drug Store I hit pan and i cant wait to get a new one, this when Im not using MAC!
Rimmel's Matte powder is what I was using b4 I switched to mineral makeup. I'll be using that for my wedding because the coverage was awesome underneath my Rimmel Lasting Finish liquid makeup. Its $4 at Target and Wal-Mart

I like the L'Oreal True Match. I've been using it for about five years, and it's as good as many others I've tried. You really can get a good match to your skin tone, and it's inexpensive, too.

I have been using Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Powder and OMG it is sooooo good i love it. Feels really smooth when i put it on my foundation and it really does last a long time i reckon i wont have to buy another one for a year !!

What is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
What one is easier and less messy to apply? Which one rinses easier or are they both the same...just wonderingWhat is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
Loose powder is exactly that...loose powder, that'll spill everywhere unless you're careful! Pressed powder is the powder all pressed together, so its more ';solid';. Loose powder can be applied with a brush, pressed powder you usually need a little sponge. I like the loose powder better, because you can spread on as much or little as you like, and it stays looking natural - that is, you cant get any streaks or anything because you're just dusting it on. The pressed powder on the other hand is a lot thicker, can clog your pores, and hence lead to bad skin. Also, it can look streaky and patchy unless you apply it very evenly (which is harder to do than with the loose powder). That said, pressed powder can look really good too. its just thicker, you need to sure you wash it all off properly so you dont get clogged pores. Hope all that helps!!What is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
Actually, pressed powder makeups are NOT good for your skin. It clogs pores easily and is a great harbor for bacteria.
I use both: loose powder is messy so is best kept at home. To reduce the mess I use a big brush and having dipped it into the powder I tap the brush on the lid to remove the excess before using. This stops the powder going everywhere whilst leaving enough to blot my makeup. Another good reason is that it is much cheaper than pressed powder and you get much more of it in the average pot.
I find pressed powder handy for when I travel or in my handbag to touch up my makeup when I am at work. Some powders are creamier than others, so you need to find one that suits you - obviously creamy ones are more likely to clog, drier ones or those sold as non-comedogenic should clog less so. Also have a supply of powder puffs and change them regularly, or better still buy a travel powder brush in a case. The latter has the advantage in that it will make the powder last longer and is as effective as a puff on your skin.
Finally, there are health concerns about talc which is used in powders. If you have concerns choose one without talc.
lose powder is way easier to apply you should try bare essentials. it fabulous
loose powder is like i.d. bare minerals.. its like a true powder.. kinda like powdered sugar. its more messy to apply, but they both rinse the same. pressed powder is like in those little compacts with the white sponge type thing. the loose powder stuff, especially id bare minerals is much better for your skin.
I love loose powder! It wont clog your pores. Pressed on the other hand does. Loose just sits on top of ur skin removing shine! It rinses of just the same i think or maybe loose cleans easier since they dont add and oils or stuff like so it wont stick into ur pores.

What's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
I just bought some expensive eye shadow, and will probably not use it up for a long time. What are tips/tricks for using and storing that will help it last longer? Also, will storing eyeshadows in compacts/palettes make them dry out, since you're often opening the compact, but not using every shadow?
Thanks!What's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
keep all of your expensive pressed powder cosmetic in a air tight container and place a square of tissue inbetween teh lid and the powder. i think that the clean and clear oil absorbing sheets works well, because it absorbs the oil produced by the powder by heat without getting all stickyWhat's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
Store the powder eye shadow compact laying FLAT, and put a tissue in between the compact lid and the eye shadow.
Dont carry it in your purse! All my eyeshadows are all messed up.....but hey i still use them
Don't get it wet or leave it in the bathroom while your showering.
just keep them in their own case inside another air tight container and in a cool, dark, dry place (like a drawer). expensive eye shadow is usually very good quality and made with good ingredients so opening the case once a day or so for a few seconds will certainly not ruin the texture or make it crack. :)guy myspace
