These are my favourite powders to make my makeup look super flawless and last all day with either no or minimal creasing. These are all compatible with any skin type, so I think it mainly comes down to personal preferences regarding shade and price...

loose powders

This powder is fine and provides a velvety finish to your makeup. I really like the shade range of Huda powders so I especially recommend them in that aspect. The price point is a little more than drugstore but not as pricey as high end.

This is one of the best drugstore loose powders on the market. I'm not gonna lie the fit me range can be a little bit iffy when it comes to trying to find certain shades but it's worth the hassle. This gives a really nice finish and melts wonderfully...

This powder is one of the OG baddie on a budget makeup products and with very good reason. It's a really awesome powder at a really welcoming price point. It's widely available online and it always gives me 2016 nostalgia which I kind of love. I also...

This is one of my favourite high end powders. It truly is a beautiful blurring veil. It is also more expensive but powders last a long time so when I consider cost per wear it's super worth it to me especially if you have slightly larger pores which ...
HOURGLASS The Sustainable Edit Veil Translucent Setting Powder

I really like this powder for it's colour correcting properties over everything else even though it does provide a soft, radiant finish. It's 4 in 1 and I love getting multi use out of 1 product. Which when looking at the price point definitely makes...

The one size powder is absolutely unreal on. I feel like sometimes when it comes to certain products like powders and foundations when new ones come out your kind of like yeah yeah whatever what does this have that I haven't seen before so it was rea...

pressed powders

This is one of the best pressed powders on the market period not even in a drugstore sense. I truly believe this rivals most of my high end powders and I often find myself reaching for it over my high end ones simply because I like it that much.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Oil Control Setting Powder
 
Aisha Ntuli profile picture
This is one of my favourite powders ever. It does its job beautifully and truly just melts into the skin I barely have to brush off any excess. I have no notes truly. I use shade 2 which I think suits my skin tone perfectly but still manages to brigh...
Airbrush Flawless Finish - 2 Medium - Makeup Finishing Powder

I really like this paired with my Kosas concealer. It's a crease proof match made in heaven. The overall coverage is gorgeous it's nice and matte but not super cakey and thick looking it's airy and dreamy just as the name suggests. It doesn't settle ...
KOSAS Cloud Set Setting Powder

I really like this powder the compact is gorgeous and the powder itself is not super dry under my eyes. I've seen a lot of people compare this to the CT powder especially in terms of creasing but I find the Maybelline more comparable to the CT than t...
Born This Way Soft Blur Flexible Finish Setting Powder

Nars has seriously good complexion products and their powders are no exception. The shade range includes 3 colours and 1 translucent and it’s worth noting the coloured shades are always sold out because of how blurring and beautiful this powder is.
Crystal Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder
 
Aisha Ntuli profile picture
This powder has a nice shade range which is pretty 1-1 with their loose powders so that’s great if you want and exact match. I think my skin is personally not oily enough for this even though I joke about it I know my skin could be way oilier so I wo...
Huda Beauty Easy Bake and Snatch Pressed Brightening & Setting Powder
 
Aisha Ntuli profile picture
This powder is provided more coverage and is a lot more buildable than its light reflecting counterpart. Its finish is also more matte while the other is radiant. Both look amazing but I think the final purchase is based on the kind of finish and cov...
