Finishing/Loose Powders Thread 2

[catwoman]

Let's continue our discussion here..mga sisses....

So what is the difference nung mga shades sa SF Buckwheat Loose Powder?

Like merong transparent and lavender? As in no color?

But Im thinking of getting the No. 21

[millealtera]

^The lavender one, parang it corrects sallow/dull skin daw ata.

I like Nars' loose powder. I have it in Eden. Medyo dark ang shade sa akin ngayon pero maganda ang finish -smooth and not flat.

^I'm thinking of getting that too...ganda ng recos dito sa GT. Just have to know my shade but havent had the time to visit NARS counters lately...

I'm using Eshiko Ultra HD pang-set ng foundation. It makes my pores smaller too. I'm also using rice powder alternate sila ni eshiko.

I just bought my second huge tub of kryolan translucent powder (yes, translucent powder, not the anti-shine powder). I keep coming back to it. It's the perfect pair with any liquid foundation, bb cream, or even on its own. It keeps my face subtly matte longer and take note, I have a notoriously oily skin and its the only powder that my skin befriended. I use the shade TL 4 which is a more subdued yellow than let's say ben nye's banana visage (which is way too yellow in my opinion).

After I finish this, I'm planning on getting chanel's loose powder. For those of you who've tried it, is it worth it? I mean how much is it and for the price, do you get the value? And what is the size? I have been lemming for it and I'm itching to get it. Thanks!

^ you can google sis kung ilang grams. It's a huge tub naman and IMO, worth the money. I really loved it, very finely milled, mattifying but not dull, and it's never cakey, but stopped using it due to the pink undertones. I still using it with my Armani Lasting Silk though, since this foundation is yellow enough for me naman so Chanel's loose powder doesn't make me pink. Otherwise, I now use Ben Nye Banana Visage for all my foundations and Tinted Moisturizers.

sis how is this differen from the kryolan anti shine?

i have been using anti shine and i loved it kasi kahit pag uwi ko from the office (9-6am shift) hindi pa rin ako oily.

i also have yung ben nye, pero gamit ko lang sya minsan pag panandalian na lakad lang.

intriguing yung chanel, how much ba yon? at ano exact name? thanks

[ladychris17]

^ Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre, or Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder. I think it's around 3k if you buy here. 30grams pala the one tub.

Don't like Kryolan anti-shine na, it used to have an anti-pily effect din on me kaso parang nawala na.

Ben nye naman, it's still great, kaso I reviewed the ingredients and I'm growing wary. I might just save it for some occasions. Also, I tried testing the powders, akala ko before finely milled na talaga pero I took my Chanel one out again and tested side by side, super silky parin talaga ng Chanel.
Ang ganda lang kasi ng oil control ng Ben Nye for me and okay yung color dahil dilaw talaga ako kung dilaw.

I might get the limited edition Chanel loose powder in Reverie next since that's a bit yellow, but it has shimmer so I'm still not sure how well it will fare as a finishing powder for my oily skin. Hopefully if it does good though, I can get a backup sa local counters.

I use Laura Mercier as my Finishing Powder!

For everyday use, Cover Girl. I like the subtle shimmer, plus around 500 something lang tapos ang dami.

For weekends and special occasions, I use NARS in beach. Long lasting ang coverage. Most of the time I dont have to retouch after my initial application (hinde naman din super oily face ko).

[butterflycuddles02]

I'm lemming for Ben Nye

[catwoman]

^ako rin sis

[butterflycuddles02]

^ Haha Pero di pa muna ako bibili kasi dami ko pang loose powders. My backup pa ko na eshiko. Kaya lang tuwing nagbabasa ako ng reviews about ben nye lumalakas yung lemming ko  I'll practice self-control muna haha.

James cooper shine powder, controls oil, and gives dewy effect

I'm using MAC mineralize skinfinish natural. Both for finishing and for touch ups. I can't live without this.

[butterflycuddles02]

Received many compliments din before sa CoverGirl na may kakaibang glow daw! At dahil nga yun sa shimmer. kaso I gave it to my mom kasi yung lightest shade, too dark for me. nakakuha din ako ng comments na bakit daw ako umitim, nag beach daw ba ako lol

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^sis laugh trip naman yang comment na umiitim.

now i'm using ben nye  dilaw talaga. i'm loving it. sana pala yung malaking tub na lang binili ko. hehe.
