This is such a useful video !!!! And also, I LOVE the 106 with the JI powder you got me into!👏🏼

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks friend!! And yes, I love it. It is one of my most worn foundations because its so easy and looks so good!

[@DeborahOetken]

I’ve been using Jane Iredale Pressed Powder Foundation for a year now. I LOVE IT!! So easy to apply.. looks natural and lasts all day. I’m 70 and had been using Este Lauder Double Wear for years but the foundation started to feel so heavy to me. And yes, I use the BK Beauty brushes that Lisa discussed in this video. Thank you Lisa!

[@davinialepoidevin]

thank you for knowing how to correctly use the ambient lighting powders. I've seen so many you tubers using them incorrectly and then saying its a bad product. they either use them to set the makeup or think its supposed to be an actual highlighter. It is so annoying when they review a product they haven't actually researched first.

[@deborah1012]

This was another great tutorial, Lisa! At 70 I am relearning how to apply makeup. What worked for me in my younger days doesn’t look the same. I was a lifetime user of Bare Escentuals Mineral powders. Thank you, this was enjoyable and extremely helpful!

[@nikki_az]

I didn’t realize there is a difference between finishing powders and setting! Such a lightbulb moment for me right now 😂Thank you for this educational video. Love it! 🫶

[@karekausnicolli4890]

I find that Kosas Cloud Set doubles as a setting and finishing powder, too. It's in pressed form and the best setting powder I've ever used that also blurs texture. I have normal to dry skin.

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh yes! That is a good one for sure!

[@ldtoner]

I very recently started using Jane Iredale pressed powder foundation on my 72 year old skin, and I love it! Even after a full day’s wear, it looks great and does not settle in any of my lines and wrinkles. The color is a great match for my skin, and I actually need MUCH less concealer when using this foundation.

[@FL-CourtReporter]

​@@rocky4.What worries you about talc?

[@tammylauber4224]

Thanks for the very informative video Lisa!! As well as sharing your knowledge with us!! ❤

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

Talking about powder foundations - I don't believe there is a single one out there that compares to the OG Bare Minerals powder foundation, in combo with the Well-Rested under eye concealer. It is just so beautiful, and so easily adjusted for various coverage levels, and seems absolutely MADE for mature skin. ❤

[@karekausnicolli4890]

You can also alter the finish and coverage by changing your brush type. A full, soft tapered face brush gives a sheer coverage, luminous finish; a dense, soft, domed kabuki gives a light to medium coverage, polished satin finish; and a Taklon, paintbrush-like foundation brush gives a maximum coverage, more matte finish. I started using bareMinerals about 25 years ago and wrote instructions on how to use to help ladies who weren't sure how to apply it, since the packaging had minimal directions. Well Rested is awesome for concealer. I like the Summer Bisque for concealer, too. 🥰

[@FL-CourtReporter]

[@elizabethdale8566]

Was hoping you could cover powders for dry, mature skin.

[@patty4393]

This is a very informative video. Just a comment as a mature woman, setting powders that are primarily mica based look terrible on my skin. They literally highlight every pore and wrinkle. I’ve found that using a very small amount of a talc based powder is much more blurring.

[@firantis]

Thanks for sharing this ❤ it helps a lot for me as dry-textured skin. Im hopeless to find a great powder for me😢

[@JillKnapp]

Agreed. The collective panic over talc in makeup products is patently silly.

Hi, Great Video. Shouldn't we avoid all Talc in powders? I personally do not like the feel of talc and am very limited in products since that is what most brand use. Any Talc Free suggestions?

[@midlifemom5829]

Outlining the points on side screen is very helpful. My mature combo oily skin gets cakey with multiple layers of powder: setting, finishing. I will need to try Givenchy, Ciele (tho i wish it came in a tube like other spf powders), the HG may exaggerate my texture

Lisa I'm attending a black tie event in 3week, my first, in three weeks. They will be taking pictures. I'm trying to decide the best setting powder to use. It's an evening event. I'm 63 with some wrinkles and large pores. I sweat a lot for some reason. I am on a fixed income. I need a suggestion for a good setting powder. What would you recommend? I can do a travel size if a more expensive product I can possibly swing it. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

[@qtgirl32]

Hi Lisa! Thank you so so much for this powder video! So informational! I always wondered if I have to set my powder foundation and now I know. I do sometimes use a little finishing powder to mattify my oily areas and for touch ups. I love the Jane I. Foundation❤ ever since you recommended it. Other alternatives I use are the PUR 4 in 1 powder foundation and the MAC studio plus powder. The PUR leaves a similar finish as J.I. ,after setting spray. The MAC is a little heavy at times but ever since I used your 106 brush (😍 it btw) it spreads out lighter and better. ❤❤❤

[@julesbee6249]

Perfect timing. My Laura mercier ran out and I’ll be buying a powder this weekend. I’m debating between LM, Givenchy, huda, or hourglass.

[@monicapatton1405]

@@monicapatton1405 , thank you. My Ulta is so much closer than Sephora so I tend to gravitate towards the brands they carry.

[@classicbeauty9373]

Givenchy for sure

[@sheilzmel]

A dupe for the prisme libre powder I think is the new tarte creaseless powder! The only difference I can detect is that it doesn't not have any shimmer particles that the givenchy has which could be a plus if you don't like shimmer. It also doesn't have fragrance. The finish is the same!

[@heyitslo]

Moira makes a loose setting powder that is so similar to the Givenchy! It has the same 4 chambers layout 😊

[@ChristinePacinda]

Moira makes a good affordable option to the Givenchy powder. It's got three colors to blend instead of four, but it's a good alternative for those of us on a stricter budget.

[@classicbeauty9373]

Yes, I completely agree with you. I have both and they are almost identical except Moira is missing that fourth powder.

[@janicegiordano3688]

Thanks, Lisa for such an informative video. I currently use the Amazing Base loose powder foundation from Jane Iredale, but may try their powder foundation to get a little more coverage. A couple of other products tweaked my interest too. Great video!

[@latherandlace]

I absolutely love Laura Gellar powdered foundation! I'm 65 with normal skin. I use Colorscience tinted spf 50 first (after skin care) then I use Laura Gellars powdered foundation with a BK Beauty brush but I'm not sure what number it is. It looks great! And, I don't have to use a setting powder! I loved this video. I needed the eye setting powder. I have the NLR N17 brush! I have that Prisme Libre powder but its the small one and I dont know how to use it. If I am setting, I use Laura Mercier Translucent. What's your best recommendation for setting concealer on 65 year old kinda wrinkled skin?

[@zozel77]

Hi I’m 60 and find that the Prisme Libre is the best for under the eyes. Just pour some powder in the cap and with a small fluffy brush swirl the powder to mix all the colours together and press it gently under the eyes. You can use a blending eye shadow brush that is a little bit bigger but it has to be soft. Hope this helps ❤

[@irmaradinson2320]

Don’t nothing about makeup but went to Sephora and sold me a dermablend loose powder. I am 63 Iis dry on my skin. I learned with you to applied where needed. But still no happy. Need a compact to re touch on a 10 hr shift.

[@mslovelifetoday]

More affordable version of the Hourglass powder is Essence Pure Nude Highlighter (color 10 Be my highlight)….its very subtle and soft ❤

[@jamieowens236]

Thanks so much for this video! I am always wondering what to get. I am 52 and need something to keep everything in place. I am considering trying a finishing powder because I need to set it, but I don't want it to get cakey. Something I keep seeing is banana powder. Is that a color corrector like the pink and peach?

What is the best power for under the eyes to take away shine from concealer? I have wrinkles. I use Westman Atellier and I have Givenchy finishing powder.

[@colleencc7]

Have you ever tried Tarte Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder? Okay, I know most Tarte products are just not great, and I wouldn’t buy many (if any) of them) but I tried it years ago and it’s beautiful and silky smooth and leaves a beautiful smooth translucent finish that is light and and great on my combo skin, and now that Givenchy has reformulated their perfect classic I’m going back to this because although I do have a couple of the Hourglass ones, I don’t always want the sheen they have (like in the summer months!) and the only other closest dupe to the Tarte is MUF HD Microfine powder.

[@stephcornelius883]

I use the Laura Mercier talc-free loose setting powder, but my face gets shiny and oily throughout the day. What would you recommend as a translucent pressed powder to use for touchup to help mattifye?

Great video, thank you Lisa! I have an issue maybe you can help me with -- I have deep hooded yes -- I always apply an eyelid primer or concealer base followed by a loose, finely milled setting powder prior to my eyeshadows, however no matter what I do my eyeshadow moves into my creases! Should I be applying a setting powder to my eyelids AFTER I do my eyeshadow look??

I have trouble with the JL accentuating my texture, which I actually don’t have that much of. I tried to learn if it was a problem with the way I was applying it, and learned that you should apply it in a downward sweeping motion so that the powder lays “flat”. Is their brush best for that? Does anyone know? Am willing to give it another go if this was an issue for others, who then found success with the JL brush and the application technique they recommend.
