Rec's for pressed powder with mirror?

[Gadook]

Looking for a powder for combination skin, around NW20-30 I think.
I need it just to carry in my bag for touch ups so one who isn't big is a real big plus.

Thank you for the ideas

I use Clinique's. MACs are good too I think but I love Clinique's sheer pressed powder

I love my Clarins "shine stopper" powder compact - here's a link to it on the Clarins website:

It's not too large and the mirror inside is of decent quality (I find with powder compacts this is not always the case). The powder itself is finely milled and goes on smooth.

I love Stila's pressed powder compacts. The compacts are quite thin so easily fit in handbags etc..

I just keep Studio Fix powder in my MU bag in my purse. I use it in the morning to set my makeup with my coastal scents stippling brush, then toss it in my makeup bag. It is great for touchups, because the coverage is great so i dont need foundation stick or anything else in my bag, and it comes with a little powder puff sponge thingy so its great for on the go and has a decent sized mirror in it.

Is SFP a powder foundation or just a powder? I don't wear MU usually, so won't the coverage look wierd with out MU underneath?

its a powder foundation. thats why i love it. i use it lightly with a brush to set my makeup, and use it throughout the day for touchups. but it can be used alone as a foundation. its amazing. i couldnt live without it!!

 

[Gadook]

does mac blot or select sheer have a mirror in them?

 

[KellyBean]

Yes, MAC blot and MAC select sheer both have mirrors. However, the powder puff thing isn't in a separate compartment.

thank you all so much

I agree... I just flip the puff over so the side you use is facing up... so you avoid it sitting on the powder and causing any nasty film on it. HTH-- my MA gave me that idea.

MAC Blot Pressed Powder (really controls and blots oil) or Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Powder (luxurious pressed powder to set with an overly flat matte finish.
