When it comes to makeup, having a combination-oily skin can be a little bit tricky if you don't know which products your skin needs. From a correct skincare routine to the perfect makeup look that will stay with you all day long: everything matters. In my case, my skin type produces an excess of oil (sebum) in my T zone (forehead, nose, and chin), with normal to sometimes dry cheeks areas.
So, keeping that in mind, my needs are mainly focused on the sebum control production of my T zone, without caking it. By the way, I like very fine makeup powders that will not end giving me a cakey look at the end of the day, being the reason why I consider these three ones, the best low-cost makeup powder I had used this year.
Having used them for a while, they prove that we don’t need to break our bank accounts to look flawless, and have good quality products. They are perfect for setting makeup, baking, and controlling the sebum, lasting all day long.
HD STUDIO PHOTOGÉNIQUE STUDIO, by NYX.
With this makeup powder, I broke my taboo related to white-transparent face powders, made to be suitable for any skin color. Usually, this type of product cause flashbacks, and since I won’t know if I’m going to end up taking a flash photo at the end of the day, I tend to use makeup powders that suit my skin color.
Surprisingly, the HD Photogénique Studio sets my makeup without leaving any white cast, not producing any flashbacks.
PROS: smooth, poreless, no flashback, and good sebum control.
CONS: small size (only 6g).
BANANA DREAMS LOOSE POWDER, by W7.
Since I watched Makeup by Mario, doing Kim Kardashian makeup using yellow powder from Ben Nye, I knew that I will need to find an option here in Spain, so I took my time, I made my research, and I ended up finding the Banana Dreams Loose Powders by W7.
They are perfect to illuminate the center of the face, leaving a very smooth finish, but I particularly love them to set my under-eye area.
PROS: smooth, poreless, no flashback, strong sebum control, perfect for baking, and pore blurring.
CONS: none.
FACE FORM BAKING & SETTING POWDER, by SLEEK MAKEUP.
One of my latest discoveries and I love it! Here in Spain, it can be very hard to find a nice and low-cost setting powder for my skin color, but this one goes further having very good qualities like not having a red subtone (I have cold subtone: NW43), and being really translucent, lasting all the day without any problem.
PROS: good sebum control, not cakey finish, very fine powder.
CONS: none.
