4 Drugstore Powder Foundations Tested 10 HOURS on COMBO Skin

Absolutely! I used a mix of them (some not made anymore-- I keep my brushes for a long time!) **affiliate links** Brush I used with maybelline: Real Techniques 259 howl.me/cmqb6qJnglB with e.l.f.: Sigma F80 collabs.shop/itkbzv (use code SlashedBeauty for discount!) with essence: (discontinued) with l'oreal: Luxie 530 rstyle.me/+I7w_vxuRtyI6AOPimM9LCw

[@bandteesnblazers]

Thanks for your review! I’ve been really on the fence about trying a powder foundation since my skin is changing quite a bit as I’m getting older. I’m finding now at 36 that my liquid complexion products are breaking down on my face way too soon, and haven’t really changed my routine (I exfoliate, shave peach fuzz, cleanse, tone and moisturize). I’m going to purchase maybe two of these and try them out!

[@slashedbeauty]

I'd be curious to hear what ends up working for you!! Yep, into my 30s I've needed to adjust my go-to products. Our skin changes!

[@MODELBODYINTL]

This was a really great video. I’m oily and have tried all of these. They are all good but I feel like Elf is the most natural looking. I get greasy by the end of the day with all of these - but again you did such a great thorough test 👏👏

[@slashedbeauty]

Thank you so much! I'm curious if you wear anything under or on top of the elf one to set it?

[@MODELBODYINTL]

@@slashedbeautyI am a purist on powder foundation days. Just wash face, use and spf moisturized, and then use powder foundation after concealing my under eyes. I’ve also used with mattifying primer, which helps with oil. But for the most part, I use powder foundations for my quick days ❤

[@gabrielacortez4893]

Being an oily skin gal myself which powder foundation would you recommend for oily skin? Which is your favorite to go option?

[@MODELBODYINTL]

@@gabrielacortez4893I’ve heard the L’Oréal is the best for truly oily skin, but I haven’t tried it. Personally I really liked the Maybelline SuperStay quality but I did have to blot throughout the day (not as bad as the Elf though). I’ve also tried the Essence. It’s not bad honestly and only $6 but the color range at my Ulta was the issue - I couldn’t get a good shade match. I hope it helps!

Milani is my go to for powder foundation & I Love it!! I'm 65 & still an oilier combo skin gal & this one keeps me from looking greasy & covers very well for a good price. Give it a try! I definitely won't be going back to Merle Norman for powder foundation again, especially at more than double the price! 😊

Hi. Which Milani powder do you like? Thanks.

[@susanroberts1610]

@@orosco97 I like the one in the black compact. Don't remember the exact name but I see them at all Milani displays.

Good luck with it & I hope you love it as much as I do!

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Thank you I'm 59 and still oily, but I do have wrinkles. Settling into the wrinkles is always a concern.

[@luvzdogz]

I never would've used a powder foundation years ago but as I've aged (46 now) and wear/need less coverage, I really like powder and the Loreal Infallible is my favorite! It's perfect to quickly throw on if I have a Zoom meeting. But for more substantial wear, out in public, my favorite combo is to first spot conceal (I use elf creamy camo concealer) and then the powder foundation applied with a velvet blender poof (whatever those are called! LOL). I find this stays really well and I live in Florida! Adding: I've also tried the elf powder foundation and didn't like it. I forget exactly why, I think it broke up and got patchy.

[@sandracox9287]

Haven't tried any of those but definitely interested in the ELF and Essence. Great video!

[@orosco97]

​@@karenferraraHi. Which sephora powder do you like for setting? Thanks.

[@CG-mv8eg]

I've been liking the NYX matte but not flat powder foundation. I buy it on Amazon and it has tons of good reviews. It may not be full coverage but it looks natural and it blurs. My skin is normal to dry and textured. This was a good review. I'd like to see more brands, maybe a part 2?

[@slashedbeauty]

So glad you liked it enough for a part two!! Do you use anything along with the NYX powder for more coverage, or do you prefer lighter coverage overall?

[@CG-mv8eg]

No, just the foundation all over, except for the eyes. I use concealer under the eyes. Mostly for an everyday natural look :)

[@HeatherFonseca]

I've tried the maybeline one and I like it. I'm hitting pan on it actually! I mostly use it over tinted sunscreen to get a little extra coverage and I use it more like a regular powder. I've never found a powder foundation that doesn't look a little cakey on my chin especially,and none of them cover melasma as well as liquid foundation

[@slashedbeauty]

So smart to use it over the tinted sunscreen! Great for light makeup. Thanks so much for watching!

[@funsizedi88]

Yes! I use a pink tone up kbeauty sunscreen with some translucent pressed powder, settingspray, a light dusting of a powder foundation(loreal or elf) and setting spray again. Works great in the summer.

[@djabbas137]

My skin is just like how you are explaining yours Im new to powder foundation and my tip for you is to use it with the sponge they give you its works best

[@slashedbeauty]

I have tested these (besides the essence) with the sponge as well-- you definitely get more coverage that way but I find that it can also make it look cakey and harder to blend (which defeats the purpose for choosing powder, in my opinion!)

@@slashedbeauty ohhh that's good if t works for you that way I will try with brush to see how it works for me

I have all of these except the Maybelline. My skin is combo leaning more dry and aging. I like the Elf the best for an overall powder foundation. When I wear liquid or cream foundation, I use the L'Oreal powder only on my nose (my nose has large pores and is oily) instead of liquid/cream. I have found my nose doesn't do well with wet. I tend to use the Essence as a finishing powder when I want more coverage, and not as a foundation.

The elf and L'Oreal look best. Apparently, elf discontinued this product though. I already use L'Oreal and won't change a thing. I actually just mist water to set it, but I will say; you need the right primer to get the best out of it. I use a pore refining primer serum. Again, wouldn't change a thing. My least favorite was Maybelline from this demo, but maybe it's because it was too dark due to oxidation. I noticed that elf did the opposite. It got better. Anyway, I've never paid more than $12 for L'Oreal powder foundation. Best to check local grocery stores and coupon if at all a possibility in your area. Thx again for proving the powder point! 😂❤

That’s a really interesting theory!! Though then, if it were to fade as the maybelline side, in general you would still see spots through it with the intensity lower? Also it’s for sure warmer than my dark spots and is about the same shade as the maybelline foundation!

[@katxfish]

I can definitely see the elf powder disperse out when you were applying it. 😂

[@slashedbeauty]

Totally!! lol

[@jenniferlancaster990]

I think Elf doesn’t have talc in it. Perhaps that’s why it was very powdery.

[@slashedbeauty]

You could be right!

[@stellasfarmlife2465]

I’m here to find an alternative because it seems the elf powder foundation is discontinued 😭

[@slashedbeauty]

Why do you say that? It’s still marked as a best seller with all shades available on their site

[@stellasfarmlife2465]

@ after writing this I checked your link and placed an order with elf. Thanks so much. I don’t know why Amazon and Walmart aren’t carrying it anymore and I just assumed it was discontinued. I’m so relieved I have 3 on the way haha.

[@slashedbeauty]

@@stellasfarmlife2465it could be that they’re moving it to only on their site to make room with their retailers for new product! I’m super glad you were able to order and thank you so much for using my link! 🎉❤

[@stellasfarmlife2465]

@ you earned that link usage in my book!

[@vreed8755]

I feel like to really give them a fair shot you really should try half the face with the applicator that comes with it.

[@slashedbeauty]

I’ve found across the board the sponge applicator may add more coverage but makes the foundation cakey/hard to blend

Great video👏😍🫶

[@slashedbeauty]

Thank you 🤗

The Maybelline looked much more natural than the Elf. The elf wore better, maintains better coverage.

[@slashedbeauty]

I would say that's pretty accurate!

[@deliciously2wicked]

I prefer Elf

[@slashedbeauty]

same!

The essence foundation contains no nasties.

[@slashedbeauty]

Can you elaborate on the ingredients you're referring to?

[@tanjas5375]

@@slashedbeautyIm german, it’s not so easy to express it in english.Loreal contains silicones, perfume and nano particles.I personally avoid these ingredients.The essence foundation contains none of them. The Maybelline one contains silicones too.Essence doesn’t contain silicones,parabens and mineral oils.So I prefer this one. 🤗🤗

Elf ‘ color matches you better.

[@slashedbeauty]

yeah they were all a little off haha

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I hate the puffs they come with. They make it so cakey. Completely useless. I miss the days of the CoverGirl plush puffs!

[@slashedbeauty]

Yeah they are supposed to provide more coverage than a brush but I don't find the appearance to be very flattering!

[@mediocrebit]

I ordered the esscense powder foundation for store pickup at Ulta and they gave me the tester 🥲

[@slashedbeauty]

stopppp that is foul!!! wait but there arent many testers in the drugstore section besides colourpop-- are you sure someone maybe didn't open it to swatch it?? regardless def swap it out!
