Stephanie I cant believe you don't have Skinfood peach cotton blur powder on here. You out of no where introduced that powder in another video awhile back and is absolutely the most AMAZING holy grail powder for my dry but veryyyy textured orange peel pores. It smoothes like no other and does not look terrible or dry at all later in day. And the PRICE😮. Thank you for that GOLD recommendation💛💛💛💛
Hi Stephanie, THANK YOU for doing this powder video. I've been using the Lottie London's Ready Set Go undereye pink brightening setting powder & it's working well for my 60 yr. old very dry skin. Plus being talc free, only ~$8, vegan, and cruelty free it's a win/win!!
Thanks for this very informative video. I have very dry skin, use tretinoin, and live in a very dry climate. So that’s three strikes against me. I use the Charlotte Tilbury and have a bit of the Givenchy left. Since I only set my under eyes both should last for quite a while. In addition I’m 71 and have been using talc products all my life, so I’m not too worried about any effects.
When rumours were swirling that Prisme Libre was going to be reformulated, I squirrelled a couple of the original formula away. I’ve tried many of these powders, but would love to try the Haus Labs one day. I find in my 60’s, it’s all about the skin prep before applying any makeup and (when it comes to powder) I knock most of the powder out of the brush before gently pressing it into my skin. Then I follow with a good setting spray (like Charlotte Tilbury). To finish, I take a thoroughly squeezed out damp sponge and gently press the setting powder and spray into my skin.
This is a really good comprehensive video. Many brands are reformulating to be talc free and replacing the talc with mica due to fear of lawsuits, even though the J&J lawsuits were about talc in the vaginal area not the face. Mica seems to give my face a weird shiny look when used as the first ingredient. Some of my previous favorite loose powders don’t work for me anymore so I’m always looking for new options.
I just recently picked up a trial sized version of the Laura Mercier Ultra Blur loose setting powder in rose. It’s talc free but I don’t find it to be sparkly or shimmery. So far I’m liking it under my very dry 55 year old under eyes. I just use the tiniest bit on a puff and it looks great. I also use it on my face very lightly in my more textured areas. Lovely.
Im 63 and have combination skin, i love the huda beauty easy bake loose setting powder and recently bought the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless filter powder , but for me the huda one works best for my skin xx
I just received the Wet n Wild and am hopeful it will be the one. So far everything I've used under my eyes, whether loose or not, has made my 64-year-old under eyes shrivel up like raisins which is horrifying!
have you tried Kosas Cloud Set Baked setting and smoothing powder, its not on this video but I've heard it's very light. And its baked formulation might just suit you. I mention it cause I've seen a lot of dry skin types really like it online or from people that are a bit hesitant about the look or feel of powders. I also hear a lot about Hourglass being very liked by mature skin types. I am also seeing comments about some people besides the powder also using a sponge and setting spray to help the look in under eyes.
I’ve recently tried the mini version of the Benefit Porefessional Power loose powder, it’s talc free and wonderful under my 60 years old eyes. My under eyes skin is normal and I apply the powder with a soft brush.
I religiously used the no 7 lift and illuminate pressed powder for my setting my under eyes but since it’s been reformulated I use Pat McGrath in medium. Also the Kosas cloud set powder works well too
Steph, have you tried Moira's powder? Both the loose one with different colors and the pressed one have been recommended by Jen Phelps. She has super dry skin.
I just turned 64. I have dry skin and have given up on powder. Under my eyes looks so dry and I can tell you I don’t know how to use it. Powder puff or brush? Loose or compact.? Thanks for this video. I will study it and do you suggest I just experiment? I’m in Dallas and it is warm here. 😊
I have a weird obsession with powders. The WnW is amazing. I bought this because I was influenced by you and Risa. I even love it more than the Huda Beauty loose. And because of you I got the Pat McGrath under eye setting- I’m on my 3rd one! And I already have the pink one in my Sephora cart waiting for the sale! ❤
I'm not familiar with Sephora sales? How often do they have sales and is it just certain brands or throughout the store? If you have item in your cart do the alert you about the sale or you just keep checking your cart? Thank you.
I'm 46 with oily skin. I have grown to love loose powder. I absolutely adore the one size loose powder for my t-zone. Plus, it's a great deal, price per ounce. I set my eyelids before going in with eyeshadow. Bareminerals is amazing for keeping my lids looking smooth. I find the elf loose powder works well for that as well.
I have been dealing with eye irritation and skin irritation for as long as I could remember, which is as long as I’ve worn makeup. As I’ve gotten older, I started isolating ingredients and I narrowed it down to talc being the culprit. I haven’t been officially allergy tested for it, but I highly suspect it is at least an irritant. That being said, I’m loving the new focus on trying to make talc-free better!!!!
I love my Nyx Can't stop won't stop mattifying powder for my face. Is wonderful! For my undereyes, I'm using the Elf halo glow powder in pink light. I'm loving them both ❤❤❤
i tried the Tower 28 and did not like the texture of it at all. For a pressed pink powder, the Kosas Cloud Set is sooo much better. I have truly loved the Nikki’s Joy loose powders. I have the translucent and pink powder. I have tried others, but keep going back. I am 50 with very dry skin.
Trust me, I've searched! 😩 Chanel's loose setting powder is the closest match to Givenchy's discontinued version. Normal skin, 46-year-old approved! 👌🏼
Agreed 💯. I actually prefer Chanel as I have combo skin. I found the Makeup by Mario loose powder too heavy and the colors aren’t brightening, they are dull compared to Chanel. Also, the Chanel doesn’t have the shimmer, which I prefer with my skin (combo & I live in Houston, Texas with a TON of humidity). If I REALLY want a “glow,” which is RARE, I use an Hourglass Finishing Powder. Totally blurs, is just matte enough & is Super finely milled.
@@WifeDesignLife Ahhh, I am in the UK, so not humid here apart from mid summer. The MBM powder comes out as being very light when used here. Chanel I also love, but is a little heavier. Will be great in the summer here though
@@MilaMilovanovic I have used from Laura Mercier, Huda beauty, ELF, Maybelline, Charlotte T to Lotti London, One size, Wet n wild and everything else. I have It cosmetics powder and it is the most blurring of them all. It is up there with Givenchy when it comes to blurring. However it is absolutely not skin colour inclusive and may turn ashy for darker skin tones. Hope this helps.
When I heard that Givenchy was going to reformulate my Holy Grail powder #3, I ran out and bought a backup. I didn't know what the new one would be like but I find reformulations tend to ruin the product. Case in point!! Thank you for doing the hard work and offering great alternatives. 😊❤
Hi Stephanie I have extremely dry skin with rosacea and eczema, so powder is a challenge and something I use with a very light hand😂. I used the Hourglass ambient powder for thirty months straight (start to finish of the product) and it’s still a real favourite, but I have recently been using the Dior lavender loose powder instead. I just fancied a change tbh and lavender is a much better shade for my pale skin than pink or the beige of most “translucent” powders. I only use a small amount with a brush and it gives a very similar effect on the skin. Finishing powder can be a really good choice over setting powder to set dry skin. There are usually less oil absorption ingredients and they are targeted to give smooth skin with a natural glow. It’s enough to blur and set my makeup anyway. Best wishes x
Oh Gosh I'm in big trouble, I didn't know that setting powder and finishing powder are two entirely different products? What are the differences? I'm 64 with dry skin and large pores. I use Makeup Forever HD and by the end of the day my makeup is gone (actually it doesn't even take that long!) so I thought I needed a setting powder. I just bought Charlotte Tilberry powder last night.
@@leslieridenour2734 Setting powder usually has ingredients in the formula to prevent oil breaking up the makeup and they can also blur pores. Finishing powder is normally used for blending your products together and giving either an airbrushed effect or some glow or both. It is a powder and all powder will soak up a minimum of oil, but it's far less oil absorption than a setting powder. If your makeup is disappearing then it's more about what is underneath IMO, especially if you overall have dry skin. I'm extremely dry and my skin can suck every vestige of moisture from my complexion products making them go into the pore and disappear, but it's not the powder that's at fault here. I must have a primer on to stop that happening and sometimes two - a moisturising primer on most of my face and a pore filling primer on my nose. I hope that helps explain x
@@lorainemcgillivray77 what foundation and primer do you use. I am using Makeup Forever HD and Embryolaisse Lait as a primer (I was using MILK hydrogrip but it was causing my makeup to pill on my face which was really annoying to me). The embryolaisse (spelling?) might not be best primer but it doesn't cause those annoying little balls of whatever it is all over.
@@leslieridenour2734 hi I am currently using the Dior face and body or the Givenchy glow for a bit more coverage. Underneath I use the Daniel Sander green primer in the centre of the face for my rosacea and the Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base or it’s dupe the Revolution skin base on the perimeter. Get some samples of foundations and primers in the appropriate coverage and texture for your skin. I haven’t tried the make up forever so I don’t know what it’s like, but the embryolisse is quite greasy as a primer and will not hold up to humidity. Try a hydrating primer ( a product formulated to be a primer) or either the bb or revolution as both are used by many people as a primer ( it has ingredients that make it work as a primer for dry skin without being greasy). I hope that helps. Your skin type and environment both play a big role in how any makeup lasts. You can also try a setting spray with polymers eg benefit or charlotte tilbury. Neither are as drying as the Urban decay or others with a high amount of alcohol in them. Best of luck x
@ thank you so much. Yes I've sort of come to conclusion that the embriolisse is too moisturizing but I was using MILK Hydrogrip and it was making balls on my skin and that was a mess. Will have to try another one.
I agree that Bare Mineral is an oldie but goodie. Always travel with it. Pat McGrath powder did not work for me al all. I think I will have to try the Tower 28. Thank you for this video.
I wish PMg had mini versions of her undereye powder. I'd love to try it, but it's a bit out of my price range. I guess I'm going to have to wait for Sephora's next sale, and also use up some of my points.
Thank you because I’ve literally been searching setting powders this weekend. For Pat McGrath; I have tried so hard to make it work. So hard. But: I think my concealer is too drying. I have the Fit Me; I also just bought the Fenty Pro Filter pressed. I haven’t used them as much to have an opinion so before I go buying Huda Beauty or even Wet and Wild maybe I should experiment again. I just really like the loose setting powder idea and using pressed for touch ups. Thank you for this!!!
Thanks so much for doing this video. Such an informative, comprehensive video. I always learn so much from you. One thing I don’t know about you though ...what is your holy grail under eye color corrector and why? I have used many you have recommended over the years, but what is your go to?
I have resisted getting the PM powder just because I am 56 with an oily tzone and everything else is dry! I have probably 35 powders. I may bite the bullet in the Sephora sale. I do like the Huda and the Bareminerals is top notch. I also love Laura Mercier powder and in the summer I have to have the Urban Decay Waterproof powder. I always use 2 different powders. Maybe I need to add PM and make it 3. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Great video, thank you!!! I’m curious to try the Haus Labs powder now :) So far the only powder that looks invisible on my 46 yr old skin is Westman Atelier in translucent- completely blurs my tzone. The only draw back is I have to re-apply halfway through the day, but I prefer that over a powder that emphasizes texture or lines
One of the absolute best loose setting powders was by a brand called “VAPOUR”. They were around for a short time and went out of business around three years ago. Omg. I think I’m the only one lay one who remembers them. It was sold in at macys and a few other retailers. I guess they couldn’t keep up with all the big names but what a shame. I bought like 5 jars and still have a few left. What a great formula they had! 🥰🥲
I’m shocked that you didn’t mention the Laura Mercier translucent powder! As EVERYONE seems to LOVE that one also! I just got it and started trying it… so we’ll see. But I also use Givenchy the original formula, Maybelline FitMe, Becca Soft Light Blurring Powder (pink), and Nikkia Joy Cosmetics pressed, loose and brightening (pink) setting powders… amazing!! The scent alone has me so addicted!
Love this video! Very informative and I love all the details about the product you give! Like Huda’s beauty loose powder how do you like to apply it? Since it has a sifter? Thank you for all your recommendations, you’re a content creator I can trust and appreciate! ❤😊
Thanks to you I’m hooked on the Pat McGrath under eye powder BUT I think the downside to it should be mentioned in that it breaks apart (design flaw?) and there’s a good amount of product waste due to this. I thought it was just me until I read the other reviews on Sephora’s website. I hope they fix this because the product is like no other for under eyes!
Great feedback for others from your experience. I've had at least 4-5 compacts and none have broken apart on me. I've been able to use them fully until the end :) I wonder if it has something to do with the softness or density of the brush used or the humidity in the air? Interesting though!
I waited it seems like forever to buy the Pat McGrath’s pink powder. I was so excited to get it and use. Unfortunately my makeup shelf collapsed when we had wood laminate installed in our bedroom and although the compact didn’t break, the powder inside did. I threw away the broken pieces and am still using the very rough remains.
I love several Kosas products but I don't love this like other people do for some reason. It seems to settle into my concealer so that it creases eventually and it doesn't keep shine away on my face. It also hard-pans very quickly for me. I've tried so many times and gave up.
@@StephanieMarie how weird!! You’re right it doesn’t keep shine away but I love it under my eyes. I think of it as more of a hydrating powder. Never had it hard pan though!
Hi! Thank you for doing this video! I have been wondering if I am getting obsessed with powders! I am looking for this perfect product that perfects and blurs, first dry out my skin/ makeup and gives me a polished perfection! That’s not expecting to much is it?!😂 I have mature skin-leaning slightly to the dry side. So it seems like I have been trying a new one every time I purchase makeup 🤨🫣- Totally agree on the pat McGrath under eye! Was hoping you would do the “one sized”pink/ trying to decide between that and the tower 28. Now I may have to try both- sounds like tower is good with humidity-rain? Hausa sounds like it might be like the Saie- which is good for dry skin- I love Huda - pink- actually liked it more the old version of Givenchy- with talc. I still struggle with what is setting and what is finishing-but maybe I like the fine finish they are similar… Do you have a foundation recommendation for wheat and extreme humidity?
Wonderful video 🎉 I am always on the hunt for an affordably priced loose and pressed powder. I am combo leaning more oily with dry under eyes (and in my 40’s) I have the wet n wild but have not tried it yet and am a huge fan of the Maybelline fit me pressed for my T zone. I am currently using the loose halo glow ELF powder in pink for my under eyes and the loose powder of Maybelline fit me (in fair light) for my t zone. I am hoping the WnW helps with blurring my pores more than the Maybelline (loose) fit me.
The Huda powder sounds like it would be amazing for my very oily skin but I've always hesitated due to the fragrance. I see they now have a fragrance free version! 🤩
It blurs my pores so well, my 32 yr old daughter gives me compliments on my skin when I use it. Last year I bought the mini as a stocking stuffer and now she's bought the full size.
Great content! I have to admit I do not get excited about powder, despite the fact that I love the affect! It is the only beauty product that I only own 2 or 3 at a time. I am one of those who was really disappointed in the Givenchy reformulation, Patty Alonso turned me onto Dannessa Myricks loose pink powder and I love it! I am also one who does not ever go without the small black compact from PAT McGRATH! I am picky because I feel like a lot of powders darken my under eye area or change my makeup look so thanks for braking it down! I think I might take the plunge and buy the Huda powder all my trusted creators seem to love it. I wonder if you have tried the Chanel loose powder and if so would love your thoughts! Thank you again.
In this recent video th-cam.com/video/tdvuEqvyvXQ/w-d-xo.html and in tomorrow (Sunday) am's video. I don't prefer it to my pat mcgrath because it's not as smoothing and doesn't hold up when my eyes water, but it looks natural like pat does. I've been playing around with this hack I saw using it before huda to make huda work under the eyes :)
I use and have used several of the powders you mentioned here, and I'd like to recommend one you didn't mention - Fenty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder. Personally, I think this powder is terribly underappreciated. I use the lavender and the butter shades both under my eyes and over my entire face (though I don't think my undereyes are as dry as yours).
I have really dry and mature skin. Just turned 45 and I have horrible allergy eyes as well. Live on the gulf coast so Hot and humid is our climate most of the year. Which one of these would be best to target setting puffy, dry under eyes?
@@StephanieMarie I need some advanced warning lol!! Skincare is necessary…still Farmacy for my double cleanse? Eye cream? And then is it even worth it for K/J/French beauty? They all haunt my social media 🥰
I'm sorry. I thought it was inferred when I said PM was my holy grail under eye powder that I've repurchased over and over and that I haven't found another powder to control my shine on my face and blur, etc as well as Huda Beauty ever. Those are my two staples I use more than any others. :)
Nikki Larose N14 is my main brush and whatever sponge I'm using on my face - it varies a lot. Beauty Blender, rephr, beakey - whatever I have on hand :)

This is a really good comprehensive video. Many brands are reformulating to be talc free and replacing the talc with mica due to fear of lawsuits, even though the J&J lawsuits were about talc in the vaginal area not the face.

I am using Makeup Forever HD and Embryolaisse Lait as a primer (I was using MILK hydrogrip but it was causing my makeup to pill on my face which was really annoying to me). The embryolaisse (spelling?) might not be best primer but it doesn't cause those annoying little balls of whatever it is all over.
@@leslieridenour2734 hi I am currently using the Dior face and body or the Givenchy glow for a bit more coverage. Underneath I use the Daniel Sander green primer in the centre of the face for my rosacea and the Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base or it’s dupe the Revolution skin base on the perimeter. Get some samples of foundations and primers in the appropriate coverage and texture for your skin. I haven’t tried the make up forever so I don’t know what it’s like, but the embryolisse is quite greasy as a primer and will not hold up to humidity. Try a hydrating primer ( a product formulated to be a primer) or either the bb or revolution as both are used by many people as a primer ( it has ingredients that make it work as a primer for dry skin without being greasy). I hope that helps. Your skin type and environment both play a big role in how any makeup lasts. You can also try a setting spray with polymers eg benefit or charlotte tilbury. Neither are as drying as the Urban decay or others with a high amount of alcohol in them. Best of luck x
@ thank you so much. Yes I've sort of come to conclusion that the embriolisse is too moisturizing but I was using MILK Hydrogrip and it was making balls on my skin and that was a mess. Will have to try another one.
CAN YOU SAY WHAT YEY SHADOW AREYOU WEARINFG,IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!! THANKS!
I agree that Bare Mineral is an oldie but goodie. Always travel with it. Pat McGrath powder did not work for me al all. I think I will have to try the Tower 28. Thank you for this video.
I love fit me loose powder too!
Hi! Have you tried the rms hydra setting powder? I'm curious how it works on dry, maturing skin like mine
48, oily t-zone, dry under eyes. I love Laura Mercier, Charlotte Tilbury and Wet n Wild photofocus for frugality 😊
You got me hooked on the Pat McGrath powder years ago. I even bought the pink shade after you recommended it.
She got me hooked on it too. I have both the translucent and the pink and think I like the pink the best. It truly is the best.
I used the bare minerals veil for years and loved it until the price almost doubled. The elf hd loose powder worked almost as good for me.
The Tower 28 pink one I absolutely ❤️
Awesome!! I've been looking for a good updated version of powders fro my dry skin!
Thanks for doing this; I learned so much.
I appreciate you being here for me !
LOVE the Lottie London pink powder ❤
I wish PMg had mini versions of her undereye powder. I'd love to try it, but it's a bit out of my price range. I guess I'm going to have to wait for Sephora's next sale, and also use up some of my points.
My favorite makeup powders are Makeup Forever and Huda. They are fantastic for oily skin.
COULD YOU TELL US WERE YOU BUY YOUR JEWERY AND CLOTHING ,ALSO HAIR PRODUCTS TO KEEP OURHAIR BEAUTIFUL! THANKYOU!
Hi Stephanie, this was so helpful ! ❤
Thank you because I’ve literally been searching setting powders this weekend.
For Pat McGrath; I have tried so hard to make it work. So hard. But: I think my concealer is too drying.
I have the Fit Me; I also just bought the Fenty Pro Filter pressed. I haven’t used them as much to have an opinion so before I go buying Huda Beauty or even Wet and Wild maybe I should experiment again. I just really like the loose setting powder idea and using pressed for touch ups.
Thank you for this!!!
Totally agree with you about the Pat McGrath powder. It’s the best !!!
Wonder how the loose ones compare to Laura Mercier?
Thanks so much for doing this video. Such an informative, comprehensive video. I always learn so much from you. One thing I don’t know about you though ...what is your holy grail under eye color corrector and why? I have used many you have recommended over the years, but what is your go to?
I have resisted getting the PM powder just because I am 56 with an oily tzone and everything else is dry! I have probably 35 powders. I may bite the bullet in the Sephora sale. I do like the Huda and the Bareminerals is top notch. I also love Laura Mercier powder and in the summer I have to have the Urban Decay Waterproof powder. I always use 2 different powders. Maybe I need to add PM and make it 3. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
LOL you are basically me :) I use it for my under eyes consistently!
@@StephanieMarie 🤣🤣🤣Thank you ❌️⭕️
Stephanie, thanks so much for this video! I've been searching for just the right setting powder and this was extremely helpful!!!
Yes! Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good talc free option!!!
Thanks for applying these products on the skin. Can you please film a video about your favorite skin care products?
The Mercier Ultra Blur is the one for me! I also use the McGrath for certain areas.
Ultra Blur is really nice!
I am not looking for another setting powder but you made that haus labs sound so good….
Great video, thank you!!! I’m curious to try the Haus Labs powder now :) So far the only powder that looks invisible on my 46 yr old skin is Westman Atelier in translucent- completely blurs my tzone. The only draw back is I have to re-apply halfway through the day, but I prefer that over a powder that emphasizes texture or lines
One of the absolute best loose setting powders was by a brand called “VAPOUR”. They were around for a short time and went out of business around three years ago. Omg. I think I’m the only one lay one who remembers them. It was sold in at macys and a few other retailers. I guess they couldn’t keep up with all the big names but what a shame. I bought like 5 jars and still have a few left. What a great formula they had! 🥰🥲
I’m shocked that you didn’t mention the Laura Mercier translucent powder! As EVERYONE seems to LOVE that one also! I just got it and started trying it… so we’ll see. But I also use Givenchy the original formula, Maybelline FitMe, Becca Soft Light Blurring Powder (pink), and Nikkia Joy Cosmetics pressed, loose and brightening (pink) setting powders… amazing!! The scent alone has me so addicted!
I use the Nikkia Joy powder to control shine. Not looked anywhere else ever since.
Love this video! Very informative and I love all the details about the product you give! Like Huda’s beauty loose powder how do you like to apply it? Since it has a sifter? Thank you for all your recommendations, you’re a content creator I can trust and appreciate! ❤😊
Lottie of London is fantastic
I love the Bare Minerals to! I want to try the Make Up Forever one though for a different color and formula.
Would love to know if you’ve tried the Ciele powder!! The spf is so appealing to me 😅
Thanks to you I’m hooked on the Pat McGrath under eye powder BUT I think the downside to it should be mentioned in that it breaks apart (design flaw?) and there’s a good amount of product waste due to this. I thought it was just me until I read the other reviews on Sephora’s website. I hope they fix this because the product is like no other for under eyes!
Great feedback for others from your experience. I've had at least 4-5 compacts and none have broken apart on me. I've been able to use them fully until the end :) I wonder if it has something to do with the softness or density of the brush used or the humidity in the air? Interesting though!
Thank you Stephanie!
Hi Stephanie, I want to try the wet n Wild loose powder. Do you use the translucent or banana color?
Translucent :)
I waited it seems like forever to buy the Pat McGrath’s pink powder. I was so excited to get it and use. Unfortunately my makeup shelf collapsed when we had wood laminate installed in our bedroom and although the compact didn’t break, the powder inside did. I threw away the broken pieces and am still using the very rough remains.
Oh nooooooo!!!
For pressed powder I really love Kosas Cloud set. It really blurs and looks nice under my eyes
I love several Kosas products but I don't love this like other people do for some reason. It seems to settle into my concealer so that it creases eventually and it doesn't keep shine away on my face. It also hard-pans very quickly for me. I've tried so many times and gave up.
@@StephanieMarie how weird!! You’re right it doesn’t keep shine away but I love it under my eyes. I think of it as more of a hydrating powder. Never had it hard pan though!
Coty Airspun loose face powder. Legendary.
Wish they made it without a scent
Hi! Thank you for doing this video! I have been wondering if I am getting obsessed with powders! I am looking for this perfect product that perfects and blurs, first dry out my skin/ makeup and gives me a polished perfection! That’s not expecting to much is it?!😂 I have mature skin-leaning slightly to the dry side. So it seems like I have been trying a new one every time I purchase makeup 🤨🫣- Totally agree on the pat McGrath under eye! Was hoping you would do the “one sized”pink/ trying to decide between that and the tower 28. Now I may have to try both- sounds like tower is good with humidity-rain? Hausa sounds like it might be like the Saie- which is good for dry skin- I love Huda - pink- actually liked it more the old version of Givenchy- with talc. I still struggle with what is setting and what is finishing-but maybe I like the fine finish they are similar… Do you have a foundation recommendation for wheat and extreme humidity?
Thank you for this video!! ❤
Thanks for the video, was looking for an undereye 😌
Wonderful video 🎉
I am always on the hunt for an affordably priced loose and pressed powder.
I am combo leaning more oily with dry under eyes (and in my 40’s)
I have the wet n wild but have not tried it yet and am a huge fan of the Maybelline fit me pressed for my T zone.
I am currently using the loose halo glow ELF powder in pink for my under eyes and the loose powder of Maybelline fit me (in fair light) for my t zone. I am hoping the WnW helps with blurring my pores more than the Maybelline (loose) fit me.
The Huda powder sounds like it would be amazing for my very oily skin but I've always hesitated due to the fragrance. I see they now have a fragrance free version! 🤩
It blurs extremely well!❤❤
It blurs my pores so well, my 32 yr old daughter gives me compliments on my skin when I use it. Last year I bought the mini as a stocking stuffer and now she's bought the full size.
Great content! I have to admit I do not get excited about powder, despite the fact that I love the affect! It is the only beauty product that I only own 2 or 3 at a time. I am one of those who was really disappointed in the Givenchy reformulation, Patty Alonso turned me onto Dannessa Myricks loose pink powder and I love it! I am also one who does not ever go without the small black compact from PAT McGRATH! I am picky because I feel like a lot of powders darken my under eye area or change my makeup look so thanks for braking it down! I think I might take the plunge and buy the Huda powder all my trusted creators seem to love it. I wonder if you have tried the Chanel loose powder and if so would love your thoughts! Thank you again.
Great video. Thank you!
Have your tried the Hard candy chilling wonder powder? I love it personally, more then the lottie London.
Have you tried the Kosas pressed powder for under the eyes? Me being 56 and also suffering with under eye dryness
In this recent video th-cam.com/video/tdvuEqvyvXQ/w-d-xo.html and in tomorrow (Sunday) am's video. I don't prefer it to my pat mcgrath because it's not as smoothing and doesn't hold up when my eyes water, but it looks natural like pat does. I've been playing around with this hack I saw using it before huda to make huda work under the eyes :)
Any opinions or information about Clinique loose powder?
It's fine but doesn't control my shine very much
So happy to catch this video your channel so early!!!!! Love your content forever a subscriber 😊😊😊
Your hair and make-up look beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I use and have used several of the powders you mentioned here, and I'd like to recommend one you didn't mention - Fenty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder. Personally, I think this powder is terribly underappreciated. I use the lavender and the butter shades both under my eyes and over my entire face (though I don't think my undereyes are as dry as yours).
Can you tell me what concealer you used in video? My under eye circles and lines are the problem area that won’t go away😫💖
I used my Bobbi brown bisque stick corrector under Tower28 concealer :)
@@StephanieMarie🙏 love the Bobbi brown💖
I ordered CoverGirl Simply Ageless pressed powder for mature skin. Has anyone ever used it? How is it wit wrinkles?
I have really dry and mature skin. Just turned 45 and I have horrible allergy eyes as well. Live on the gulf coast so Hot and humid is our climate most of the year. Which one of these would be best to target setting puffy, dry under eyes?
I really hate when it looks like I have a noticeable layer of powder on my undereye.
Can you review side by side patmagrath pink powder vs danessa myriks evolution pink powder ?
👀🙏🏼PLEASE DO A FAV POWDERS & CONCEALERS FOR UNDER EYES 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This video includes face and under eye powders. I am doing a concealers video soon though 💖
@StephanieMarie Oops i commented before watching but omg awesome video as always! I'm tuned in, I'm excited for the concealer vid 👏👏
Just ordered the Pat McGrath but at Ulta, they’re rewards system is so much better 🤑😀
Yes! I always preach about their rewards system during their big sales especially. It's so good
Need a Sephora shopping video ❤
Hi! I always do several (with different topics) starting the first day of the sale 💖
@@StephanieMarie I need some advanced warning lol!! Skincare is necessary…still Farmacy for my double cleanse? Eye cream? And then is it even worth it for K/J/French beauty? They all haunt my social media 🥰
This was great. I would have loved to have heard which one is your absolute favorite though.🤷♀️
I'm sorry. I thought it was inferred when I said PM was my holy grail under eye powder that I've repurchased over and over and that I haven't found another powder to control my shine on my face and blur, etc as well as Huda Beauty ever. Those are my two staples I use more than any others. :)
TFS what tool ( sponge brush) do you use to set the under eye area? For the Pat M
Nikki Larose N14 is my main brush and whatever sponge I'm using on my face - it varies a lot. Beauty Blender, rephr, beakey - whatever I have on hand :)
I wish Charlotte Tilbury had refills for the mini size which I prefer.
