THE BEST LOW-COST MAKEUP POWDERS I HAVE TRIED THIS 2022.

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.

Running late! Easy glam and long lasting every-day makeup (you only need 15 min!!!).

A few weeks ago, some people after their summer vacations, had to go back to their jobs or classes, going back to the reality: eating fast, waking up every day early in the morning, run to catch the train or bus, and reconnect with your friends or workmates/classmates.

Once again, we are back to top, with barely time to do anything, plus the fact we have spent enough money on vacation to puncture our credit/debit card in an atrocious way! Therefore, I just need 15 MINUTES, to show you and affordable and long lasting full glam makeup to go back to your work or classes like a Goddess or God!

FAST, EASY, LONG LASTING, AND AFFORDABLE…LET`S START! (15min)

•        Makeup primer, Makeup foundation, & Makeup concealer.

Mix your makeup primer with your makeup foundation to make it last longer, then just correct your more problematic zones with your favorite concealer.

•        Brows.

I’m loving (actually) the one by Makeup Revolution, and since we are running late…use your contour powder to set your brows.

•        Setting powder.

To me, one of the best affordable options in the market without white cast, and universal. Your T zone will be under control for hours! REMEMBER: not for baking, just to set your makeup.

•       Contour palette & Eyelashes mascara.

Magic here! You need a complete contour palette in your life to life faster and better, why? You can use it for your cheeks, your brows, and your eyes… you see what I mean? Then, apply your favorite eye mascara, but my favorites are: Lash Extension mascara by Lovely Cosmetics (even if know I’m using another one).

•        Lipstick.

Use your favorite one! The most affordable options in the market to me are the ones by Jordana Cosmetics, and Technics Cosmetics.

Technic lipstick colors name from left to right: Love Yourself. Be My Baby, and Dream Lover. (All of them gorgeus daily tones, and long wear)
