hi ladies! Wondering what you favorite powders are for finishing your look. Do you use a setting powder and finishing powder? Which ones are they? I use Bare Minerals and Ben NYE Banana powder. I'm getting to the end of the Bare Minerals, I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something.

Givenchy finishing powder! www.sephora.com/poudre-premiere-mat-translucent-finish-loose-powder-P385669?skuId=1589126It is amazing and it is so finely milled I love it! I used to use Tarte's but this is way better! (I used my Sephora gift card winnings from a contest to buy this). I have had it since...April? I believe the size of the product is pretty decent value wise but I don't have the size handy. This is a definite repurchase for me when I run out.

Pretty much always the Hourglass Dim Ambient Lighting Powder. I've hit pan on a full size and on the palette. So now I'm trying to use some of the others I have.

mrsbaine, If I use foundation, I set it in my T-zone with Laura Mercier translucent loose powder and also set my under-eye concealer with it. Then I finish with HG Diffused Light on T-zone and Ethereal on cheeks. If I wear no foundation, then I just use HG Diffused/Ethereal. If I wear no under-eye concealer, I use Laura Mercier under-eye (brightening) powder under my eyes. I found out if I use the LM under-eye brightening powder when I use concealer (which is Nars Radiant), then Radiant + brightening powder = bit of reverse raccoon. That's why I switch setting powders for under eyes depending on if I have concealer on or not.

This morning I used the Dim Light instead of the Bare Minerals It looks ok, but I'm not sure if it's a "fair" text since I forgot primer. We'll see. I didn't back the Bare Minerals for vacation- only the Dim Light so we'll see how that works. Sidenote, I can't wait until I can get my skin back to not wearing foundation. The Algenist Retinol serum really works best for me and since I haven't used it in 4 weeks, my skin texture is paying the price BIG TIME! I ordered it today; I'm done experimenting with other things. Foundation was not something I needed and now I have to wear it. Oh well, you live and learn!

I'm hoping that all of the money I've dumped into skin care over the last year will eventually pay off. The texture is nice ... I'm just still getting rid of old marks. I should have added that I usually set with either UD or MAC finishing spray as well.
