Best & Worst Drugstore Powders | 10 WEAR Tests!

Sharing the best and worst drugstore powders with you in today's Battle of the Drugstore Setting Powders! I've put 10 drugstore powders through a wear test on my oily skin for 8 hours to see which ones were the best and which were the worst. I'll show you what each of the powders looks like up close, as well as real-life examples of how they wore throughout the day. Please keep in mind this is an opinion-based video based on my experiences with each of these products; if your experiences differ from mine, you're always welcome to share in the comments below, in a respectful manner please. :)

[@melindamercier6811]

You are absolutely, positively GLOWING! And I don't mean in the oily way, LOL! You've got that momma's radiance. ❤️

[@melindamercier6811]

By the way, my go-to drugstore powder is the Maybelline Shine Free loose powder in Light. $6, no flashback, and super smooth on my face. :)

[@scarlettesmith6930]

Melinda Mercier that powder is friggin $17 in Australia

[@fairlind]

Zabrina, please also review the Maybeline Fit Me powder.

[@uphill_milk9]

Melinda Mercier ... of

[@Nishka88]

that pregnancy glow tho, you look amazing zabrena.

[@magnified101]

she's whattt???????

[@ambermilligan9575]

check out her special announcement video ♡

[@binkylawrence]

It was beautiful!💙 I was crying!✨

[@magnified101]

no way! I hadn't seen any of her recent videos in a while, probably in months this was the first one I was watching. I did notice her face looked rounder, as if she had gained some weight or someething. But I thought it was only me.

[@Nishka88]

magnified101 yeh at first i didn't watch her pregnancy announcement but i did watch another fairly recent video of hers and realised she looked different and for some reason the first thought that came to mind was she's probably pregnant and i guess i was right since i saw the announcement video

[@angiec380]

Hahaha. Am I the only one who loves the scent of the Coty Airspun? It's one of the reasons I love it so much.

[@Lilurameshi2]

Angie C I do too. It smells like roses to me or like (this is gonna sound weird) old lady perfume. Like it's really floral.

[@christinab4953]

I love it too. Reminds me of my grandma's perfume which I always love whenever I hug her :)

[@marianava7706]

Angie C. I have that powder too and i love the smell of it

[@kadamowicz68]

Enjoy the smell....and the cancer from the talc! Are you nuts?

[@samanthamatchett9623]

Crazy Hondamom 99% sure it wouldn't have talc in it or at least not enough to cause anything, but if we're gonna worry about cancer from products or using something then we better stay away from everything and everyone. Most foods, drinks, products, bath stuff, household products, everything is said to cause cancer at some point!

[@sie.2350]

I've been using the Coty Airspun for about a year now, and while the scent is really overpowering I get over it because I love that powder! Gives me a little extra coverage and it keeps my oily skin at bay.

[@ahenderson6882]

That is the ONLY powder that will keep the makeup on my nose!

[@cb9825]

I wonder if you leave the package open for a day or two, will the scent disappear?

[@skinsciencebymira]

+Ch B just order the unscented online

[@sie.2350]

Ch B Maybe, but I think you would tamper with the powder.

[@magnified101]

I love the smell hahahaha smells like grandma powder.

[@lc11214]

I recommend the Rimmel stay matte powder. It works for me and I have oily skin.

[@Susanasglez]

that powder is great for oily skin!

[@1Skorpia]

l try it! :) I have oily skin too and sweat at my job as a nurse aide.

[@jcjccmz]

Just to add some food for thought though, I'd like to add that it can be a little cakey and that the packaging is incredibly cheap. The top does not screw but slides on and off, so you cannot secure it closed. And there is no mirror. It is also not the same size as a lot of circular pressed powders so it cannot be depotted and transferred into a standard round pressed powder compact with mirror, like MAC's or other nicer ones for taking it on the go, which is a must for me with my incredibly oily skin.

[@cynthiabarker4964]

love Rimmel stay matte powder. I will definitely buy it again.

[@HeyyitzAlyssa]

yes I love it!!

[@iWasMadeInTheUsa]

Thank you for including the cruelty free bunny symbol! I apreciate it so much and admire the effort you put into your videos! You rock Zabrena :)

[@VanessaBacca]

I'm addicted to your videos! I'm always happy when I see you on a thumbnail in my feed.

[@Zabrena]

Aw! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, Vanessa! :)

[@MaryChrapliwy]

Excellent video - I really appreciate the PETA bunny in your video pointing out what is cruelty free for those of us who only buy cruelty free products

[@Zabrena]

Yay!! :)

[@theninjacalledbasilisk7770]

It is quite good that you have such oily skin. (As terrible as that may sound, but bear with me) I don't know if you know this already, but people with oily skin tend to look younger because the oils moisturize their skin. Granted, those with severely oily skin would have to work hard to manage it, but it is always good to let the oils have some time to maintain the skin, while they are not wearing any make up. I have combination skin that is very fickle. It can easily get dry so I have to be careful when drying my face and not use powerful, acne-fighting lotions. But also it can get fairly shiny. So once in a while, especially during those dry days, I would just let my oils build up a bit through the day and let my skin gat naturally moisturized. :) It really works well for me.

[@sayomi9]

sameeeeee

[@amiyahlove1777]

Please try the Neutrogena mineral powder in translucent

[@babesters6]

I love that you label things with the bunny! It helps me out a ton :)

[@MarianaGonzalez-ws2nw]

ahh finally I've been waiting for this!! love you!! 💗💗💗

[@morgansmith8640]

I love how thorough you are in your videos! you always go above and beyond and I love that!

[@TheBriBoat]

I quite like the smell of the airspun :) it reminds me of my great grandma. She wears that :) and thank you for this video! I'm searching for a good powder!

[@ShoSensei]

I absolutely LOVE the smell of that powder too!! I don't use it as much since I went cruelty free.

[@catherinemay27]

I love the smell too!

[@MelanieGVF]

Me too! I remember her vanity and her collection of Avon Perfume bottles. I find my own vanity mirroring hers.

[@xAvengeTheFallen]

It's literally why I bought it! I love the old fashioned smell.

[@paspetunia]

The airspun by Coty it's my go to loose powder and I like the scent.Yes it has the old lady smell but I am old.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

Coty is my everyday go to loose powder. I think it performs just as good as any high end powder It does come in unscented but I actually like the scent. It does not linger at all after use. Reminds me of an old compact powder. Love it!

[@joannamartinez5168]

i LOVE the way you do your reviews! so much better than watching reviews on each one and the fact that you add in clips of how it wears makes it so helpful! subscribed!

[@LinaCT25]

I've been waiting so long for this video! Thanks Zabrena for listening to our requests. :)

[@ikonora]

The coty airspun breaks me out every single time I wear it. I believe it is because of the fragrance.

[@amygalvin1799]

It has so much added fragrance! The best rebranding they could do would be to make it fragrance free.

[@ashleyrobinson3298]

I use the Cody Airspun powder and I love it! I actually like the smell cause it reminds me of my grandma and makes me feel classy lol I know it's silly but whatever 😂

[@TheHeatherSmalley]

i love your frugal friday vids! especially comparing products. you are looking so gorgeous lately i must say!!

[@maryreynolds5310]

Yippie!!! Airspun, here I come. Thank you Zabrena! I just love you reviews.:)

[@katyisgone]

the NYX blotting powder is AMAZING for touch ups on oily skin the NYX HD translucent powder is also good for oily skin however i recently switched to the laura mercier loose translucent setting powder because it's EXACTLY the same price as the NYX per gram !!

[@briahnaniau4337]

I've been using the NYX HD loose powder for a while and it works pretty well I think. I wanted the LM powder but couldn't justify the price. I never realized it has 5× the amount as the NYX one! When I saw your comment I checked the prices and did the math. Lo and behold you are correct! Thanks for that. Maybe once I finish this powder I'll make the switch.

[@katyisgone]

yay! i'm glad to have helped. i'm loving the LM powder so far and funnily enough i use way less of it than the NYX because the packaging is much better and i don't use as much product; so actually it is cheaper in the long run :)

[@emilieschinck6281]

+d r e a m w a v e you should go back to NYX, Laura Mercier tests on animals

[@Ebichuchu]

Emilie S i don't think nyx is fully cruelty free either anymore though 😓

[@imeatingyourhead]

Aubri Some of there things are, but not everything. It does get kind of confusing when trying to figure out their products. /:

[@HolisticHealth555]

Could you please do an updated version of drugstore setting powders?

[@hollyshepperson6504]

I love your Frugal Friday videos and wear tests! My favs!

[@emmahuber183]

I LOVE this series. PLEASE do an updated version of this.

[@marsisist3247]

I hate the NYX one, I didn't even know it had a shit ton of flash back, I literally wish I can ban it

[@missveenicol3154]

MAKEUPBYMARIELA GIRL HOW DID I FIND YOUR COMMENT LMAOOOOO HEY GIRL HEYYYU

[@riaaamedina5639]

Same, did my sister's makeup with it and it basically ruined the look.

[@davidernesto8568]

Omg yes

[@Brooke-ov6gm]

I know it's so awful

[@MusicLover-og1jf]

Omg yesssssss. I thought I’d go away or smth. But freekin nooooo

[@maggiedean5691]

I love the stay matte by rimmel and the elf tone correcting one for less sweaty of days.

[@OkayCake]

I love when you compare products like this, thank you!

[@amandablue7007]

love love love when you do these videos!! so helpful thank you

[@grandunification]

Thank you so much for the cruelty free annotation! saving me tons of time

[@ambermilligan9575]

Yes!!! thank you so much!

[@Cutekumavt]

WinsomeMisfit she didn't put the annotation but Essesce is also cruelty free

[@Lilmexi1981]

I've recently been loving a combination of the Coty & NYC powders. (I'm one of the weird ones who actually likes the smell of the Coty Airspun powder. It reminds me of something, but I haven't figured out what that is yet.) I've found that I like loose powders on my skin so much more than pressed powders. It's just been a matter of playing and seeing what does best for me. Thanks for all of your great videos, Zabrena!

[@tanishafuller194]

The smell reminds me of my Grandmother. It smells like her face cream or perfume.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

I use Coty every day. I love the scent. it really doens't linger and it is the best loose powder for the money. Doesn't cake and is great for fair skin. I also use Mac loose powder but like the Coty better.

[@purplesnowqueen12396]

I also like the Cory. I mix it with a discontinued maybelline loose powder. Love the combo!!

[@emilycervantes9871]

does the NYC powder leave flashback?

[@jenny9343]

isis zuniga I'm tan and have baked with it altho I finish with banana powder sometimes it never left a flashback on me and again I'm TAN. so I'm gonna repurchase it today

[@m8272m]

So excited and I haven't even clicked play yet! Thank you so much, I love these comparison videos - they're so extremely helpful!

[@m8272m]

My only suggestion/request would be to rank them/present in order of not-so-good to favorite. I'm not sure about this video - as I said, haven't hit play yet - but in other comparison videos sometimes I walk away wondering what I should try out of the approximate half of positive reviews. Thanks!

[@m8272m]

Werps, eating my words, I like the top-and-bottom three style. :) Thanks again.

[@CharlieeeeO]

I absolutely LOVE how you have which ones are cruelty free in the corner. 🐇🐇🐇 As soon as I clicked on the video I was making a mental note of which ones in my head I could even pay attention to and then you already had them listed for each one! so wonderful thank you!

[@brookenunley]

Can you do an updated mascara battle for frugal friday?? I'm on the look out for a good one and I trust your opinion!!

[@tamtempeanbeauty]

For those keeping track of which products are not cruelty free: L'Oreal, NYC, Maybelline, COTY, and CoverGirl. I love the COTY Airspun Powder, but stopped using it after finding out the brand isn't cruelty-free. I wonder if there is a cruelty-free powder that works just like it.

[@nazifah5399]

The quality put into this video is amazing! I appreciate how much effort is given

[@liisabbyxD]

Omg!!! I loved that you were oily face because it's so hard to find good powders that last long and I loved that you included pictures ❤️

[@abexgama]

I love the Maybelline Shine Free Loose powder! Blends in really good. I apply my foundation, press the loose powder into the skin with a beauty blender, then dust away the excess with the Maybelline Matte and Poreless foundation powder! Gives me full coverage, lasts all day, and for the most part keeps me nice and matte!

[@mallorygueho1824]

Abraham Gama Oh, good tips! I may have to try these :)

[@ambrielledani521]

the fragrance in coty airspun makes my eyes water like crazy when i use it to set my under eye area :( it looks so good tho but makes me feel like I have allergies while wearing it

[@user-lc2lk5em8v]

omggggg yeeeees !! ive been waiting for someone to make a video like this!

[@stephaniesalcido4284]

Zabrena, Thank you soooo much for adding at the top left hand corner the cruelty free bunny logo for the products that were cruelty free. It is very hard sometimes to find videos that contain cruelty free brands. You're the best!

[@ofthebeanvariety]

After applying my sunscreen, I load my face up with the NYC power. I really press it into the skin with a puff. After that that, I buff in my powder foundation and any other powders. I finish with a misting of water. The NYC powder is still going strong. To make it less messy, I cut away a portion of the sticker seal which helps block too much powder from going through the sifter.

[@Zabrena]

Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing those! :)

[@ofthebeanvariety]

Anything to keep that powder from migrating around! :)

[@SweetSassyGail]

the loose powder?

[@ofthebeanvariety]

***** What about the loose powder? The sifter comes sealed with a sticker. If you cut away a portion of the sticker to only expose a few holes, the powder becomes much less messy to work with. Is that what you meant? :)

[@ashleehoward47]

Can you do a high end test but include the hyped up rcma powder?

[@faithtoler3952]

I'm very oily and I hate it.. I get so shiny with it

[@eniscoworldheritagesite]

I am not super oily and the rcma works pretty well for me! :) I even use it on my eyelids and I find that it helps to make my eyeshadow stay in place

[@rubyvanessa8540]

Thank you so much for showing which products are cruelty free. This is really important to me and something most KZbin videos don't mention. Checking if a product is cruelty free is the first thing I do when I shop for makeup - I love what you have done, the video is perfect for my needs.

[@melissas8308]

Such an good video. The 8 hour test on all 10 was awesome. Thanks :)

[@JustAnotherEmoKidd]

Try the Pallidio Rice Powder! It's $5.99 for it I think, and I use it to bake my forehead/nose (I'm oiliest in the T-zone) and it keeps me matte for quite a while. I like it 10x better than the Coty Airspun

[@1Skorpia]

where can I get that??

[@carleecane1470]

Ulta carries it, online and in store. Palledio is a great brand!

[@JustAnotherEmoKidd]

I got mine at Sally's Beauty Supply, but Ulta also has it!

[@cynthiabarker4964]

yes, Palladio is a great powder! I love the rice blotting papers that Palladio has.

[@sunshineyrainbows13]

Is palladio cruelty free?

[@mj_barba]

I love the RCMA No Color Powder

[@sand2879]

I've heard great things about RCMA. I've got dry skin, would you recommend it?

[@ItsKassidyLove]

I don't have dry skin but Kathleen Lights here on KZbin has very dry skin and she really likes it.

[@cat10163]

I have dry skin as well. I have only used the powder in the summer when my dry skin is not so bad and I would recommend it. I don't know if I will like it as much as I do now in the winter since my skin gets really dry in winter.

[@skinsciencebymira]

+Sandy Robidoux if you're dry I wouldn't get the RCMA. like the Laura Mercier transparent setting powder it contains a lot of talc which I find very drying especially on the under eye. HD powders with silica and no talc work well for dry skin. also bare minerals mineral veil. or if you can splurge, the by terry HA powder.

[@shhhlisten4850]

I love the RCMA too! It's great

[@lettycardenas4091]

thank you for all the close ups it really helps great vid

[@bryannalujan1664]

I recently subscribed to your channel because I fucking love how you do wear tests!!!!! Finally some good ass impressions! I dislike other channels because of course when they put on drugstore makeup it’s good for the first ten minutes they wear it 🙄 so they give it a high review, like no I need details I need a full on wear test, thank you for these!!!!! 💜

[@miamueller2315]

i NEED to know what lashes you're wearing, they're gorgeous!!

[@outshined7210]

Rimmel Stay Matte is amazing!

[@Orsucci82]

I love Rimmel Stay Matte also and I have oily skin.

[@Anamgull-qw9du]

it. ALWAYS looks cakey on me😔

[@gloriaterpe6212]

+Anamgull9902 same 😕

[@bethanygates6812]

I wanted to love it so bad because everyone else I seen review it loves it, but it broke me out 😔

[@Scriptadiaboly]

I have dry skin and it's perfect on me

[@vivienly5722]

Alas, a beuaty youtuber that actually tests out the wear of makeup. Thank you so much!!

[@lisarompca1261]

I loved this video! So helpful. I appreciate the time it took! Would love to see more like this.

[@christinasanchez130]

I also have oily skin and my favorite loose powder is physician formula talc free in creamy natural it claims to have 16 hour wear airbrush finish with a kabuki brush included. The 411: it says it's extra sensitive for breakout prone skin mineral formula helps reduce irritation and breakouts hyper allergenic fragrance-free gluten-free carbon-free dermatologist improve non-comedogenic. so that's my two cents, but thank you for the all your videos I appreciate all your tests! xoxoxoxo

[@KrystalBr0wn]

I use Laura Mercier. It’s worth the money

[@samantharobinson3193]

I swear by the PF one as well. The airbrush one though is terrible! It is literally shiny and caked on application. But the one you mentioned is fantastic for summer days when I don’t wear any other makeup, just primer and powder to face the day without a mirror shine! 😎😎

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Thank you, Zabrena! I could never have afforded to try all those powders, so I truly appreciate this information.

[@elena911000]

Great video! I obsessed with powders, love them. I have the airspun one (hated the smell but now I love it?!?) I would like to try the NYC .

[@kristynapier845]

the NYC one is usually under $3 at Wal-Mart.

[@elena911000]

Do you know if is it matte?

[@kristynapier845]

I don't think it is per say. It is named NYC smooth skin loose face powder. I noticed that it takes the shine off your face but not cakey or dry looking. I originally bought it to set Halloween makeup on my kids but it turned out to be a great long lasting cheap translucent powder. Best surprise I wasn't expecting honestly, usually you get what you pay for.

[@elena911000]

Thank you!

[@jojosaidso8276]

needed this video so much. thx girl! ur research is EVERYTHING XO

[@meganglisson2866]

Hey pretty momma! Hope is all going well for you. I'm due in February and your videos give me a great boost of energy and happiness when I need it most! Thank you for being here and making amazing videos!

[@SherryPGypsy]

I was "storming the throne " in prayer last night for you and that dang sciatica. I carried 3 boys pretty much back to back in 3 1/2 years lol, I 'member! Love all the work you do for us!

[@Zabrena]

AW thank you so much, Sherry! God has absolutely heard our prayers! It's not made an appearance since Monday! God is great! Three boys in 3.5 years! My goodness! Whew! I get tired just thinking about that! ;) HUGS!!

[@samg_prickles]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. I shop only cruelty free and it seems like everybody only talks about the stuff that is not on my shopping list. I appreciate the large selection of products tested :) Although i am surprised that you didn't mention rimmel's stay matte powder. it is my holy grail product (that i'm trying to find a replacement for *sigh*) Also, i keep eyeing physician's formula's powders, but I haven't' purchased them or tried them out yet.

[@mandidc9975]

the mineral wear powder in the silver compact is so good, blue one can be cakey.. and they're age ones, purple compacts. those are pretty good too. ;)

[@lovepattyx0]

I hear flower beautys translucent loose powder is really good. I want to try it!

[@HavenLily]

Has the Rimmel been discontinued?

[@skinsciencebymira]

+HavenLily definitely not

[@1Skorpia]

+HavenLily no they are still at walmart

[@christellesotelo1550]

How come I never knew about this channel?!! I love it!!! This video is so helpful. Thanks! More power!

[@EspressoLaine]

I was so excited to see my Coty!!! While I'm not a fan of fragranced makeup, I actually really like the scent of Coty Airspun - and the fact that it's been around a LONG time. Great for oily skin.

[@meganm.2442]

Whenever I want to find reviews on makeup I look you up

[@aanshi_shah]

Hi zabrena, Can you please review Physicians formula pressed and loose powders? TIA

[@ShoSensei]

Yes please!! I second that!!

[@aanshi_shah]

+Artbug let's appreciate the efforts. It is not practical to cover every single brand in one video :)

[@tensiperez7555]

Love your videos! I must say I have not tried all of these, but I love the Coty one because both my Mother and Grandmothers wore it and the scent always brings happy memories.

[@hannahmoran2149]

OMG I have been waiting for you to do this for AGES!!! Thank you so much 💕

[@Zabrena]

YAY! I've had it on the back burner for so long now!

[@zombiesryummy7236]

I have to recommend the NYX cosmetics HD loose finishing powder. It makes my makeup stay (I too am a grease ball) and with a light hand it doesn't get cakey and can go a straight 10 hrs without touching up!

[@unpopped]

Doesn't that powder contain silica?

[@zombiesryummy7236]

Yes it does but I've never had any problems with with flash back as long as you use a light hand

[@TaylorSwifterz]

wanted to hear your thoughts on the rimmel stay matte powder since a few youtubers have been raving about it

[@ashleymacica1257]

I have it and I have really oily skin and I like it :)

[@Michaelabeauty96]

TaylorSwifterz I personally don't like it it just like doesn't blend well over foundation for me it bunches up it's strange

[@alibarnhill4187]

👍👍👍

[@karen_louvor9348]

[@helen801]

I have the NYC powder and it works fine for me :)))

[@virginiagiarola6660]

Unfortunately I don't live in the US, but thank you anyways :)

[@memphia1910]

Oh I just bought the essence powder, since I thought they were cruelty free and heard such good things about it :/ Honestly, I hated the coty air spun. The fragrance didn't bother me but it made my foundation look weird...like it gave it a peachy color. Since I'm warm toned it just looked bad. I may have to check out the Styli-Style one. Great review! Would you do a high end/mid range powder video? I'm currently making my way through too faced and cover fx ones.

[@lovepattyx0]

I thought they were cruelty free too....maybe not. guess I gotta take them off the list. lol

[@kerrid.979]

From what I remember from the website, they are a cruelty free brand, but they don't put the bunny on their packaging, since everything is supposedly cruelty free in the country that they are based.

[@memphia1910]

hmmm I didn't know that. I'll have to look into that further, but thanks for the info!

[@ShoSensei]

I thought they were CF as well :( which do you like better, the too-faced or the cover fx?

[@MegaCloudygirl]

Essence is cruelty free. There is a huge section about it on their website

[@BellaNicoleKing]

You looked stunning! You're glowing honey! I'm in love with your videos--so professional, confident, and so enjoyable to watch! Such a breath of fresh air! Many blessings from Texas! Brittany

[@xoXstalxo]

I recently subscribed to your channel and absolutely love your videos. You give such great advice, tips etc. I also love how honest you are when giving your reviews on makeup products and you do it in such a great manner without bashing the brand. And I love how you said in this video just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. Cause that is so true. I can't stand when some other KZbinrs bash brands just because a product didn't work for them and always say "I do not recommend this, do not buy this, etc" and basically push us to take their opinion and stay away from it. Because every product works differently on others. We all have different skin types, eye shapes and so on. There's a lot of products I loved that others didn't and products I disliked that others loved. You're also so down to earth and a beautiful person inside and out. I am also a redhead and love how you are too. Not sure if you have done so yet but can you possibly make a video on best makeup products and tips for redheads. That would be awesome. I am also very fair with freckles and blue eyes and would love to see a video for that, especially for brows, since sometimes when I fill my brows in the color doesn't seem to match me too well. Anyways sorry for the long comment haha. Love your videos and so glad I subscribed. I binged watched your videos this morning and learned a lot of cool new things to try. You rock! 😃

[@tanishafuller194]

Have you tried RCMA powder? It's awesome.

[@Zabrena]

haven't tried it ... yet! ;)

[@wyldchild39]

Yes! I'm super oily as well and NYC is the bomb!

[@Zabrena]

Awesome! That one REALLY surprised me!

[@suzb8380]

I'm new to ur channel! Not sure if ull see this but ur work is so much appreciated. The time and dedication to ur vids...bravo!

[@susanwright8196]

This was REALLY helpful Thanks for testing them all out and giving your opinion! YAY

[@Anamgull-qw9du]

do u have any recommendations for loose/pressed powders for dry skin that doesnt look cakey

[@michellekelly2937]

This isn't a drugstore powder, but the NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder is my favourite. It's very sheer and light - doesn't look cakey at all. Ask for a sample at Sephora, and give it a try!

[@sharonflowers66]

try a glycerin based setting spray, real colors- stay and spray and Mac - fix plus are good. they help the powder melt in to the skin.

[@sharonflowers66]

PS, real colors is sold at sally's.

[@michellekelly2937]

You could try the CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Age Defying Pressed Powder and also the CoverGirl Tru Blend Pressed Powder. Both are suitable for dry skin and won't look cakey. One has slight radiance to it, and the other is more matte, but both look beautiful on the skin. I don't know of any good drug store loose powders.

[@crystalcastles_]

Just buy a setting spray, it helps to set the powder. I recommend nyx matte setting spray for extra oil coverage.

[@doreha9102]

Have you tried the loreal hydra-something powder? I've seen it around at Walmart recently

[@ahenderson6882]

Frugalistablog loves that powder!

[@missbunni6604]

I love it...it feels so nice when applied to the skin. It's very finely milled too

[@funnyweirdo09]

I have it and love it!

Do you have dry skin?

[@sharil3645]

love your frugal Friday videos. :)

[@TheKitchenWife]

Just wanted to drop back by and say thanks for this. I purchased the NYC powder, and I am IN LOVE!!!! I love how you review products.

[@AC-qo8oq]

What's the best one for under eyes for brides? I don't like Laura Mercier. It feels terrible under my eyes. It creases and accentuated lines.

[@Zabrena]

The La Mer one is excellent, but they're redoing their packaging right now so I don't know if it's readily available; I've also been impressed with MAC's line of powders in the past on brides!

[@stevisgirldaniels230]

Really, crap I just ordered it! I already have lines don't need more

[@AC-qo8oq]

Thank you Zabrena. Stevie's girl you'll probably like it as many people do but a few of us believe it's awful under the eyes. W- I'm of Persian decent. Thank you

[@stevisgirldaniels230]

I've just tried Flower beauty translucent powder but I've only worn it once. it's finely milled and seem to melt into my skin with no flash back but I need to use it a little more

[@princesscootney2867]

ELF undereye setting powder works really well. its very fine and it makes lines disappear. And its $3

[@night_owl_sadness]

i look on eBay amazon and even the coty website and I came to the conclusion the unscented version must be discontinue

[@naomia6267]

I see it on certain websites like Drugstore. com but that website will literally be gone tomorrow lol so maybe at Walgreens ?

[@tarynj666]

I've used the NYC translucent powder for almost 3 years now and I'm so glad it got your approval too! I think it's the best drug store loose powder hands down. so much product for only $4 and it doesn't cause a white cast and you don't need to touch up at all. a lot of people are mentioning the rimmel stay matte powder. I used that one for about a year, and it's not a bad powder imo, but personally for me it wouldn't stay matte very long. it would go 4-6 hours for me, and I have normal-combination skin. so if you don't mind touch ups I think it's good and it's compact.

[@meredith4610]

You are a saint for marking the ones that were cruelty free. As a cruelty free makeup buyer it is such a pain in the butt to look up brands if you forget or if they are new to you. It was so helpful!!

[@davidcaywood2529]

have you tried Rimmel London's Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder? Two Thumbs Up😎 for me!

[@Zabrena]

YES! I ran out of testing time in order to get this video up today, otherwise I would have included it - great powder!

[@laurenwood8824]

If you could only pick one powder for oily skin, drug store or high end, what would you choose?

[@Zabrena]

Hi Lauren! I'll answer this by what's always in my purse and for me, I always have one of the MAC Pressed Powders in there :)

[@laurenwood8824]

Thank you ma'am! 😄 I've yet to try that, but maybe I should.

[@HavenLily]

I was wondering the same thing. I will check out Mac. I have the oiliest skin. I currently use the CG powder Zabrena reviewed in the video and my face is oily in less than two hours.

[@Boboelise]

mac is tested on animals. I use the urban decay de slick makeup setting powder and it´s great

[@Ebichuchu]

mac actually doesn't test on animals! common misconception :)

[@sabrinamunoz4290]

I really appreciate that you noted which ones were cruelty free! I always love your reviews because of the variety and honest opinions. Congrats on your baby! ❤😊

[@LouisSaver2012]

I love that cruelty-free labeling thing, now I can know instantly which product is CF. Thank you Zabrena !!!! By the way, you look stunning !

[@marissahampton4107]

The coty airspun powder leaves a flashback on my face

[@kaylitakaylota]

Marissa Hampton same

[@isharora3210]

Always enjoy your videos. You save us so much time and hassle to try products.. Xoxo

[@diana1d1161]

this video is just what I needed! thank you so much 😄

[@gabrielleroby2104]

I love when you do these wear test videos! I am very oily and these help me so much. My favorite drugstore powder is definitely the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless pressed powder. It doesn't wear for quite as long as my favorite Laura Mercier translucent powder but it still looks pretty great after a few hours!

[@cmkarma5554]

i can't live without my nyc powder i been using that for ever ! great video you look amazing 💚💚💚

[@milenatselia9146]

This video is amazing!!!thank you for showing us application after 8 hours...so hardwork on this video i'm sure it took you more than a day..UNIQUE.!!well done!!!!

[@sharonthibault8153]

You make the best comparison videos!!!! Thank you!!!

[@BrittanixLynn12]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've always enjoyed watching your Frugal Friday videos, and I love hearing your opinion because I also live in Florida and deal with super oily skin. Definitely appreciate your opinions on these setting powders.
