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.

In love with this lipstick!

Today I decided to recover something I love to do: makeup looks! Since I really enjoy testing new products, doing my makeup every day, and above all… letting my imagination fly creating new things. At the same time is an opportunity to write about the products I used, giving my opinion about them.

Keeping in mind that I’m recently enjoying and loving some Avon products, particularly their lipstick, I want to create some looks with them. Avon's lipstick has a very long-lasting beautiful formula, with a wide color range, that gives makeup lovers so many options to play with: from the most classic red or an everyday soft nude, to the deepest shades.

About their cruelty-free status, as a cruelty-free beauty blogger, I did my job, and I have been reading information about the company's animal testing status, contacting them at the same time via email, concluding that Avon is a cruelty-free company, that support and contributes to the elimination of animal testing, promoting alternative methods to animal testing.

The products to highlight in today’s look are:

• Full Cover Camouflage Concealer, by REVOLUTION PRO.

One of my favorite concealers on the market is the full cover, and long-lasting. It has nothing to do with the makeup foundation of the same line, which becomes very heavy and pasty, on the contrary, is a good concealer, especially for the eyebrow and eyelid area, being at the same time a good eyeshadow primer. Well applied, and sealed, it does not move easily.

• Mattifying Makeup Primer, by FLORMAR; Matter Base Pore Blurring, full coverage foundation, by MAKEUP REVOLUTION.

Flormar is one of my favorite brands when it comes to nail polishes, but makeup? YES! They have makeup products too, and their mattifying Makeup Primer creates a smooth base that helps to create a flawless makeup application. By the way, the Pore Blurring makeup foundation is one of my favorite low-cost makeup products: skin-like finish, buildable coverage, and long-lasting.

• Banana Dreams Lose Powder, by W7.

A fine makeup powder that seals the under-eye area, without stiffening, and illuminates the face, controlling at the same time the excess sebum production.

• Mark lipsticks, Extreme Mauve, by AVON.

This lipstick line is gorgeous, and the color range: is breathless. The lipstick stays all day, being easy to use.

My first orange look!

We are in June, and we are in summer! But even if I think that every season of the year has its own beauty, my favorite season, being true to myself, is SPRING! Flowers, healthy sun, fresh breeze, flowers, absolutely a season full of beautiful colors! And even if I’m not actually a professional, I really enjoy makeup and skincare, and even more sharing my hobbies with other people that maybe will enjoy my content!

***The look? Orange and golden eyeshadows, black eyeliner, soft coral blush, and a beautiful orange lipstick.***
