The best translucent setting powder?
Hello, I'm looking for the best translucent setting powder. I need something that works beautifully for photo shoots. Is there a translucent setting powder that you swear by and photographs well? I've heard of a few with good reviews, but I'd love some professional opinions. Thank you! Nov 04 14 09:00 pm Link NYX HD Powder is the best one I've used. Its not expensive, but its ultra fine (looks like smoke when you open the container) and doesn't leave any white or greyish color. It works great. Nov 05 14 06:55 pm Link Rimmel stay matte is a good powder. Its in pressed form and can come in shades but I just use translucent so I dont need to carry loads of them in my kit. Photos really nicely and its drugstore so purse friendly for me as a starter! Though i use bare minerals loose powder and the clinique loose powder in my personal makeup and those photograph wonderfully too. So when I need to repurchase for my pro kit I will probably go for one of those Nov 06 14 03:04 am Link MeganCalfoMakeup wrote: Then you might want to take care using MUFE's HD Microfinish Powder... while this product achieves a flawless translucent finish (it contains no pigment) it has issues when applied in excess to dry skin... i.e. best used with an oil based foundation. Used as such there seems to be no issues... MeganCalfoMakeup wrote: Just a commercial artist here... albeit professionally trained (Yvonne de Vilar) and licensed.

Jan 05 15 09:17 pm Link I love the RCMA No-Color powder. Very inexpensive and one of the best I've tried. I'm sure the Ben Nye is great as well. Jan 21 15 07:43 pm Link I like Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder. http://www.marykay.com/en-US/Mary-Kay-T … 250.partId It's mostly sheer but it has a smidge of white coverage that blends blush and contouring in nicely. It's really fine and it doesn't have any obnoxious sparkles in it or anything. I was roped in to attending a Mary Kay party and I felt obligated to buy something. So I bought it thinking I'd never use it, but now I can't live without it! Jan 21 15 08:52 pm Link Ben Nye Powders in all colors, as well as Neutral Set. RCMA No-Color is another great one. Feb 20 15 05:51 pm Link I am a fan of Ben Nye -- quality product, reasonable price point. Feb 20 15 06:38 pm Link Laura Mercier  Mar 16 15 10:34 am Link Try the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder (: Doesn't leave a white cast & is super light weight! Apr 02 15 01:55 pm Link Tarte is the best I've used. Palladio rice powder does the job as well. Disclaimer: I haven't tried many. I usually prefer powder that adds a little coverage.
