Help!So many powders-which one?

[cosmetic_junkie]

I'm looking into getting a powder and i've narrowed it down to the following:
-Select loose
-prep+prime transparent finishing
-Mac pro set powder
-Blot loose powder

Which one should I go for? NC30 combination skin.

Does anyone know if these give you the 'ghost face' look in photos? I like MSFN and use that daily but I don't use it at night because of the light reflecting particles.

I recommend prep + prime transparent finishing powder hands down! it really is as good as people say it is. check out youtube for reviews. i have never heard a bad review of the stuff.

thanks,this one did stand out. It doesn't give the 'ghost face' look in photos does it?

I also recommend the P+P transparent powder, its absolutely amazing. It doesn't give a ghost face look at all on me and I'm an NC43. I haven't tried the blot loose powder but I've tried the pressed version and the transparent powder is 10x times. It really does blur out imperfections and sets the makeup on your face nicely.
You can always ask for a sample to see if you like the way it looks on you.

Thanks girls keen to get it now! How do you apply it? Is a 187/kubuki brush ok to use?

it doesn't give the ghost face look no. i use my mac 182 but any powder brush would be fine - 136/150 etc. Use it as you would use any other powder. Dip your brush into the powder, tap off any excess and sweep along your face over your foundation to set. Nothing special. I haven't personally ever used the 187 but I can't see why there would be a problem in using that brush.
