I totally recommend the too faced primed and poreless pressed powder! I've NEVER heard anyone talk about it but the lady in the store recommended it for me and it's honestly my favourite powder I've ever used
There have always been warnings against using talc on babies. Now, talc has been shown to increase women’s chance of ovarian cancer. As a last-ditch substitute for HD powder, I have actually used a light application of corn starch, which is recommended as a substitute for talc.
Powders aren’t boring! Thus this video is awesome for me. I’ve been on a search for the last few months to find a powder without talc that will set my undereyes without emphasising my little lines, making me look 55 by being crepey and doesn’t dry me out. Talc is so common, but so very drying so I’m doing my best to avoid it. The current leader amongst the ones I’ve tested is the tarte filtered light setting powder or the smashbox halo hydrating powder (has some coverage, but not so much that I can’t use it as a setting powder).
Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights makes a beautiful glowy finishing powder for porcelain skin. The texture is similar to the Hourglass powders and a fraction of the price. The downside is it might cause flashback, because it has a slight white tint to it. It is perfect for when I want to set a glowy foundation to add longevity, but don't want to diminish the shine. I get compliments every time i use it.
Kristy Kelly the peach/pink color does not show up at all on the face or in a swatch. It is def a white base only. There is super fine shimmer like the Hourglass powders that makes your face look radiant. I would only use it as a finishing powder. It is not suited for setting the whole face with a lot of product. I like to dip my damp beauty sponge in the powder and lightly tap all over the face with a really glowy base. With matte foundation, I would use a large fluffy brush.
Arna Alayne I love your channel and I am also a violinist. I play experimental music and my boyfriend is also a musician/producer. Love this series and your recommendations! 💖
Thank you for breaking up the powders into different categories. It helps to fully to understand the different kinds of powders & how to use them correctly. Thank you for your insight!
Nude by nature mineral veil is beautiful to use. They also have powder foundations but I find those too drying on my very dry skin patches. My sister uses their powder and she has oily skin and prefers it over their liquid foundations. Benecos mattifying powder (pressed) is also not bad. EcoMinerals have some nice powders as well. Inika Organics have powder foundations that are not drying on dry skin.
Raelene Prislan - thanks for these recommendations. I’m very dry, so much so that I’ve stopped powdering most of my face, I only set my undereyes and t-zone in summer and only the undereyes in winter. I’ve been testing a few powders recently to find the right fit. The best one so far has been the tarte filtered light setting powder. It was launched as part of their rainforest of the sea line and has hydrating ingredients in it. It doesn’t emphasise my fine lines, doesn’t make me crepey and doesn’t turn my undereyes funny colours (unlike the cover FX)
@@iamqueenkk i like nude by nature mineral veil the best for setting foundation or Bb cream. Even to set my 3W Clinic 50+ CC sunscreen (which I use when I don't wear any foundation or as a base under my foundation sometimes.). Inika foundation powders are very nice on dry skin, but their liquid foundation with hyaluronic acid is great over their primer. As far as I know all of their face products, even their makeup removers have hyaluronic acid in them. Nude by nature liquid foundations are nice for dry skin as well. There are only 2 types, the original one is light to medium coverage while the other is medium to full coverage. Both work well with their primer.
With the RCMA powder, I bought a couple of refillable loose powder containers from Amazon. Problem solved. And with the Hourglass Etherial Light Powder, I use that to set my under eye concealer.
I haven’t tried the hourglass veil translucent powder but everyone is raving over it. Seems similar to laura mercier’s mineral powder in 1w1 soft porcelain. They both have a slight yellow tint to it and leaves a satin/slight glow finish ☺️ I think you might enjoy either of those powders 😊
The only powders that I use from your list are the Lancome and Hourglass. But I seriously cannot rave enough to everyone about Laura Mercier's powders! I absolutely love all of her powders and she has quite a few. An invisible (white) setting powder that has blurring effects, a translucent setting powder (love with a velour puff), and two under eye setting powders that work amazing at setting concealer (secret blurring and secret brightening). I recently started using the translucent glow setting powder as a finishing powder to buff my cheek products, and I love it. I also love Bobbi Brown's nude finish illuminating powder (porcelain), and you can't go wrong with powders by Estee Lauder.
I bought it two weeks ago in 1 Fair and it looked beautiful on my NW10 skintone. It was a touch dark and more yellow than I would prefer but, because it looked so amazing on my skin, I made it work. Unfortunately, this broke me out terribly. I'm so disappointed because it really did give an airbrushed look and I have dry skin so this was one of the first powders that worked for me. I do have very sensitive skin so if you don't, I would highly recommend it.
@@gracepetilo3758 I used it all over but very lightly. If it hadn't broken me out I would have continued to use it but I may not have repurchased because it wasn't the best color on me.
I've been meaning to get the Shaaanxo highlighter and a few other items brushes, lashes lipstick that add up and Canadian shipping is a little out of control. I love my Hourglass I use the Ethereal Light one, as for a coloured powder being how cool I am I like the Too Faced Peach Powder other then it's a beautiful powder that smells like peach juice and tastes like candy's. As for translucent the NYC loose setting powder is $4 and I like it better then the Laura Mercier.
Love your whole look! Can you give us a breakdown of your eye shadows and the bronzer,blush and lip in this video. Its the colors I would typically go for. I love your videos!
They’re all products I’m featuring in this series! Bronzer is Hourglass Nude Bronze Light, Blush is Etude House Ginger Sugar Cookie, Lip is Marc Jacobs Sugar Sugar, & Eyeshadow is Stila Shimmer & Glow in Kitten x
The RCMA powder is packaged like that for us MUA to pour out on a palette. Also why you get so much powder! It is meant for a MUA’S kit. I personally love it with a powder puff and the press and roll technique.
Great list! Have you tried the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless finish powder? It's the best pressed powder I've used hands down. Fairly undetectable, pore blurring and looks great in both natural light and photos.
Something I have wondered is what the benefit of a loose powder is over a pressed powder? I like that pressed powders are less of a hassle, less bulky, but is there something loose powders are better at than pressed? I mostly avoid powders anyways because I'm afraid it will look too dry on my dry skin. Great video as always, please do a tutorial on this look!!
I think loose powder is easier to get a lot of it, so for those that want to puff it on or bake, its waaaaay easier in loose form! I do prefer compact though because of what you said (although some of my favourites as you can tell just simple are not made in pressed!)
Generally, pressed powders contain additional fillers/binders, etc. so they can be pressed; which causes them to have a denser/thicker texture. Traditionally, pressed powders contain more pigment/coverage than translucent powders, as well. However, pressed translucent/transparent powders are more common now, & pressed sheer coverage and finishing powders are available. It really all depends on your usage & what you prefer. If all you want is the lightest veil to set tackiness or smooth/blur, you may prefer a loose translucent/transparent powder. But if you want a bit (or a lot) of extra coverage, or to carry powder w/you, you'll probably prefer pressed. Hope this helps!
I have super dry skin and for powder I’m currently liking the tarte filtered light setting powder and the smashbox halo hydrating powder. They both have ingredients that are designed to help hydrate the skin. The smashbox is a mineral foundation but the coverage starts so light that I find it really easy to use as a setting powder. I also don’t set anything but my undereyes and T zone in summer and only my undereyes in winter. Setting the rest of my makeup with a spray and leaving out the powder was an amazing discovery for me and left my skin looking less dry, more skin-like and I’ve been really happy with it.
@@iamqueenkk It's funny because I know that a lot of people won't set their face except for their undereyes because of the concealer, but for me its the other way around. I avoid setting my undereyes unless the concealer is very emollient because its the area that will look most dry with powder, whereas I can get away with setting the rest of my face which is somewhat less dry. Most of the time I try not to powder at all.
Nice! Real life has so gotten in the way of watching youtube the last few weeks, so I've just started catching up on what all my fave yt-ers have been doing lately... and I get this brilliant mini-series (great cause too!). The Arnies!! LOL - I hope it'll become an annual thing like EmilyNoel's Emily Awards. Love the new house by the way - that wall (and ceiling) of windows is to die for! My fave powders are the Ben Nye Cameo loose (a really old fave, but I've just not found anything I like better) and the Milani Prep Set Glow pressed (love that glow). And for powder foundation I love my Meow Cosmetics mineral stuff (not least because of the absolutely fantastic colour match for my pale, uber-cool undertone).
I’m trying to rebuild my essentials after losing everything. If I can only buy one powder to work for setting and finishing, which would you recommend? Also, your Guillerlain compact looks just like the Physician’s Formula. (Of course, the high-end product is better, but maybe. . .).
Hi, Arna! What is the difference between the two lightest shades oficial the Howerglass powders? I have the whitest one. Thank you, I'm loving this series 😉
I wonder what will replace my elf tone correcting powder in Cool when they decide to discontinue it like all my favorites. In my 31 years I've never loved a face powder so much! $4, it actually evens out my skintone and sets foundation like a dream with no flashback and does not cling to dry spots. I have a hoard of backups bc it's becoming harder to find in stores.
You’re an absolute angel 👼 Thank you so so much for making these Arna Awards videos, especially this one! You also totally reminded me that I need to try out the Pony Effect Cushion! And that Pony Effect powder looks so perfectly pale yellow for my skin! Thank you thank you 😊🙏🏻
I'm catching up on these wonderful videos and I'm realizing that I have no idea on the differences for how to use each category of powders. To me I use a pressed powder by Revlon as a setting powder but I'm pretty sure it could also be worn on its own? What does a finishing powder do?! I have some googling to do it seems .
I got the diffused light powder on your recommendation and I may be using it wrong, but I look like Edward from Twilight when I use it. I want to love it but it comes off as really sparkly all over my face. What is the best way to apply the ambient lighting powders?
Hey have you tried the ethereal light in the hourglass powder? I’m debating between that and diffused light. I’m hearing people say ethereal light is better for cool tones🤷♀️ edit don’t worry saw what you said after I wrote this...so would you say you prefer diffused light over ethereal light? Also have you tried using dim light for a blush it looks kinda pink ish? I want to get this palette I’d use the over two shades but don’t really like getting pallets if there’s one or multiple shades I don’t use. If not for blush do you get any other use out of dim light or could you? Thanks love your videos❤️
Definitely the Hourglass! It’s more finely milled and gives a very non-Powdery look to the skin! The Mac is better if you want a tiny bit of extra coverage and want more of a mattifying effect (although it is still a less chunky formula compared to most setting powders!)
You look like you should be on a magazine cover, such a real beauty Arna 🙂 I’ve been trying to decide if HG Diffused Light is too dark for me, but I don’t think it is, especially in the summer months. I must be a wee bit darker than you...which I would know if I ever get shade matched at Mac haha.
I love this background. I first came across your videos last year when you were going of you awards for last year. Thank you for a great year of videos! Looking forward to what you have in store for 2020! Wishing you a great Christmas season and a blessed New Year!!! 🌲🥳😍
Curious if you've tried nyx stay Matte but not flat powder foundation. I use shade 4 which I think it's the lightest. I like it but now I'm curious about the ones you've recommended.
Beware the cover FX translucent setting powder. It turned my undereyes visibly yellow. I’ve seen several other pale people had the same problem. Not sure what’s the issue with it but thought I’d share the warning.
your makeup looks so fresh and beautiful!! also being a student i really don’t have money but!! i have been forcing all of my friends (even some dudes haha) to watch your videos or at least let it play at the background without skipping any ads (duh) so i really hope it helps!!
I bought the hour glass diffused light upon your recommendation mainly because you said it has no shimmer etc. but I was shocked to find it has lots of what I would call micro glitter! My face looked like I sprinkled bits of glitter all over it! Is this how it’s supposed to look? Or I got a bad one or what’s going on 😰 I got the mini size and emailed them to ask if it’s any different in formula than the original size and they said no!
It should give you a little sheen, but not too much. Apply with a very light hand. Maybe try a different, less dense brush than what you are using now. Hope that helps 🙂
To me, Shimmer is different to glitter, so apologies if my description threw you off!! I meant that it doesn’t look glittery on my skin, but does leave a soft veil of sheen! Perhaps my lighting is different too! If you’re able to, can you swap it for Ethereal Light? That has much less sheen x
Arna Alayne I was hoping for a sheen, but sadly it looked like a matte powder with some micro silver glitter sprinkled not even a shimmer like the ones in a subtle highlighter. I even tried to remove the top layer to see if thats like a top coat of overspray or something! Does yours look any similar to what I’m describing? Unfortunately I can’t return it now as I am out of the country ☹️ But thank u for the reply nonetheless 😘
My Mother is going to visit our family in Sydney at the end of the month and I'm going to ask her to pick up a Model's Preferred Setting powder for me. Where do you get it from?
Are u still gonna do a Best Of 2018? Like your #1 favorite thing in each category (foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, etc.) Or is that like what these videos are?
Your body is sunburnt so it may be a good time to go for a pink toned foundation that couldn't be your match for winter times instead of a yellow-fair foundation.
Actually, I'm not sunburnt at all! My body naturally flushes a lot when I'm hot, and my apartment was quite hot this day. Also, the colour difference between my face and chest is warped when I use my ringlight to film because it throws a yellow cast (check out my videos in my bathroom and you'll see a better colour representation)
Yay for RCMA! I love that powder! This was a great vid too and I'm scheming to get my hot little mitts on that Models Prefer😂😈 I think I may be able to find it online...but it looks so pretty, and ur description is so awesome! I love powders too💗😂 Excited for tomorrow's award!🌻🌻🌻
I wish we could get Models Prefer products in the U.S. I've heard great things about their powders. There is a baked one that I heard of years ago at this point that was a dupe for either Mac or hourglass but couldn't get it. If anyone knows how someone in the US could buy them it would be appreciated. Ps. It was their Soft Touch powder! I remebered!
I won’t be, but that’s because I just uploaded my Beauty morning routine the other day showing my current skincare :) and will do night routine in January x
Emily noel is such a nice person.. if she was like jeffree star she would’ve totally called this girl out on using her idea like he did with the “approved” idea.. search: Emily awards.
@@ArnaAlayneMorton I already was so incredibly touched by the charity you are supporting so I have been donating and keeping your videos playing on loop (I really hope that TH-cam premium watches count) and I'd of course have been chuffed to win the prize, but it wasn't why I wanted to do anything possible to help... But that powder just made the chance of winning super exciting. Lol.
God your makeup in this series is just so, so beautiful. That lid shade in particular is absolutely to die for, it's gorgeous.
thank you!! Let's just say this lid shade is a prize winner :D stay tuned for Eyeshadow day!!
I totally recommend the too faced primed and poreless pressed powder! I've NEVER heard anyone talk about it but the lady in the store recommended it for me and it's honestly my favourite powder I've ever used
oh great! I'll check it out!
There have always been warnings against using talc on babies. Now, talc has been shown to increase women’s chance of ovarian cancer. As a last-ditch substitute for HD powder, I have actually used a light application of corn starch, which is recommended as a substitute for talc.
Yes I’ve heard of this corn starch trick!!
My faves are the Hourglass & elf HD powder (a great dupe for it cosmetics bye bye pores).
Powders aren’t boring! Thus this video is awesome for me. I’ve been on a search for the last few months to find a powder without talc that will set my undereyes without emphasising my little lines, making me look 55 by being crepey and doesn’t dry me out.

Look for a Mica based one if you can :)
Arna Alayne - thanks for the suggestion and thank you for responding.
Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in Matte Lights makes a beautiful glowy finishing powder for porcelain skin. The texture is similar to the Hourglass powders and a fraction of the price. The downside is it might cause flashback, because it has a slight white tint to it. It is perfect for when I want to set a glowy foundation to add longevity, but don't want to diminish the shine. I get compliments every time i use it.
Oh I will definitely look into it! Xx
Kristy Kelly the peach/pink color does not show up at all on the face or in a swatch. It is def a white base only. There is super fine shimmer like the Hourglass powders that makes your face look radiant. I would only use it as a finishing powder. It is not suited for setting the whole face with a lot of product. I like to dip my damp beauty sponge in the powder and lightly tap all over the face with a really glowy base. With matte foundation, I would use a large fluffy brush.

Arna Alayne thankyou that’s interesting to know. Still might get it anyways I’m debating it lol
I’ve been really enjoying this series and can’t wait for today’s video!! 💕💕💕
Thanks Megan!!xx
Arna,do you prefer hourglass finish powder or MAC skin finish powder? Are they similar?
Definitely the Hourglass! It’s more finely milled and gives a very non-Powdery look to the skin! The Mac is better if you want a tiny bit of extra coverage and want more of a mattifying effect (although it is still a less chunky formula compared to most setting powders!)
@@ArnaAlayneMorton Thank you Arna! I am not a fun of MAC's package.😉
You look like you should be on a magazine cover, such a real beauty Arna 🙂
I’ve been trying to decide if HG Diffused Light is too dark for me, but I don’t think it is, especially in the summer months. I must be a wee bit darker than you...which I would know if I ever get shade matched at Mac haha.
Awww you’re so lovely!! Thank you Jess 🌻
Are you wearing the same foundation in these three videos? It is so beautiful. Would you mind telling me which brand it is?
Day one was L'Oreal true match, days two and three were Hourglass Vanish stick :)
I’ve been on the hunt for a setting powder that suits me, so I was super excited for this one. Very helpful!
Thanks for the recommendations, m’dear🍃🌻.
glad i can help :D xx
I’m on the lookout for a new powder so this video was perfect 👏🏻 well done for how much you have already raised 🎉💕
thanks!! I'm so overwhelmed!!
I emptied out my Rimmel powder and put some rmca powder. Love the charity. Good on you!
such a good idea!
Yay!! Also a lover of powders. Such a great finishing touch to a look.
I love this background. I first came across your videos last year when you were going of you awards for last year. Thank you for a great year of videos! Looking forward to what you have in store for 2020! Wishing you a great Christmas season and a blessed New Year!!! 🌲🥳😍
Thank you!! Yes me too, although the lighting is harder because I have to use a ring light haha Merry Christmas 🥰🎄
I finally get my hands on the hourglass diffused light powder which was not in stock for months ... I hope its really that good. ;)))
Curious if you've tried nyx stay Matte but not flat powder foundation. I use shade 4 which I think it's the lightest. I like it but now I'm curious about the ones you've recommended.
I haven’t tried it!!
Have you tried the studio fix in n 3 ? It's very fair
I haven't!! I didn't know that shade existed :D
Have you tried the Cover FX powder foundation?
I have but I didn't love it as much!
Beware the cover FX translucent setting powder. It turned my undereyes visibly yellow. I’ve seen several other pale people had the same problem. Not sure what’s the issue with it but thought I’d share the warning.
@@iamqueenkk good to know, thanks!
Ama you also get the award for being the only influencer to hit pan on an hourglass powder 😂 ❤️
haha love that!
"Our whole body is flashback" 😂
Yeah..
haha #struggles
OMG! Your comment on how for us fair skinned ladies that our whole bodies are flashback...I died! SO true!!
your makeup looks so fresh and beautiful!! also being a student i really don’t have money but!! i have been forcing all of my friends (even some dudes haha) to watch your videos or at least let it play at the background without skipping any ads (duh) so i really hope it helps!!
Awww you’re so kind! Thank you for sharing and getting your friends watching :) everything helps!
I bought the hour glass diffused light upon your recommendation mainly because you said it has no shimmer etc. but I was shocked to find it has lots of what I would call micro glitter!
My face looked like I sprinkled bits of glitter all over it!
Is this how it’s supposed to look? Or I got a bad one or what’s going on 😰
I got the mini size and emailed them to ask if it’s any different in formula than the original size and they said no!
It should give you a little sheen, but not too much. Apply with a very light hand. Maybe try a different, less dense brush than what you are using now. Hope that helps 🙂
To me, Shimmer is different to glitter, so apologies if my description threw you off!! I meant that it doesn’t look glittery on my skin, but does leave a soft veil of sheen! Perhaps my lighting is different too! If you’re able to, can you swap it for Ethereal Light? That has much less sheen x
Arna Alayne
I was hoping for a sheen, but sadly it looked like a matte powder with some micro silver glitter sprinkled not even a shimmer like the ones in a subtle highlighter.
I even tried to remove the top layer to see if thats like a top coat of overspray or something! Does yours look any similar to what I’m describing?
Unfortunately I can’t return it now as I am out of the country ☹️
But thank u for the reply nonetheless 😘
I love these videos!
My Mother is going to visit our family in Sydney at the end of the month and I'm going to ask her to pick up a Model's Preferred Setting powder for me. Where do you get it from?
oh that's great! You can buy it from Priceline (best to go to a bigger store if you can!)
Are u still gonna do a Best Of 2018? Like your #1 favorite thing in each category (foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, etc.) Or is that like what these videos are?
😎😎😎 stay tuned x
Can you also review Mirenesse products too, Thank you
I like your voice and the way you talk on the camera . It's really relaxing and professional .
Thank you so much!
Your body is sunburnt so it may be a good time to go for a pink toned foundation that couldn't be your match for winter times instead of a yellow-fair foundation.
Actually, I'm not sunburnt at all! My body naturally flushes a lot when I'm hot, and my apartment was quite hot this day. Also, the colour difference between my face and chest is warped when I use my ringlight to film because it throws a yellow cast (check out my videos in my bathroom and you'll see a better colour representation)
Love this!
Thanks Shanna!!
Yay for RCMA! I love that powder! This was a great vid too and I'm scheming to get my hot little mitts on that Models Prefer😂😈 I think I may be able to find it online...but it looks so pretty, and ur description is so awesome! I love powders too💗😂 Excited for tomorrow's award!🌻🌻🌻
Woohoo!! Thanks love x
I wish we could get Models Prefer products in the U.S. I've heard great things about their powders. There is a baked one that I heard of years ago at this point that was a dupe for either Mac or hourglass but couldn't get it. If anyone knows how someone in the US could buy them it would be appreciated.
Ps. It was their Soft Touch powder! I remebered!
yes!! the soft touch I've heard about but haven't tried yet!
Hope you will do a day of best skincare too!
I won’t be, but that’s because I just uploaded my Beauty morning routine the other day showing my current skincare :) and will do night routine in January x
The dermablend powder made my eyes water so bad!
I love your videos 💕

Emily noel is such a nice person.. if she was like jeffree star she would’ve totally called this girl out on using her idea like he did with the “approved” idea.. search: Emily awards.
Check the description, love. And the intro video for this series 🤗
I really wish I could find that Model's Prefer powder here in the US
Yes!! FYI, I bought a jar of it to include in the Makeup Prize Pack for the Donation Raffle!!!
@@ArnaAlayneMorton I already was so incredibly touched by the charity you are supporting so I have been donating and keeping your videos playing on loop (I really hope that TH-cam premium watches count) and I'd of course have been chuffed to win the prize, but it wasn't why I wanted to do anything possible to help... But that powder just made the chance of winning super exciting. Lol.
