Face powders can do more for you than just set your makeup. Whether you’ve got oily skin, blotchy skin or both – there are face powders out there that can help solve your skin dilemmas. Don't pick up just any face powder for oily and blotchy skin – pick up one that's recommended by a leading women’s magazine.
L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Powder
This “Allure” Best of Beauty award winning powder is super lightweight but covers blotchy skin like crazy. Plus, this one subdues shiny skin so even those with the greasiest T-zones will get their oil slick soaked up. There are 24 different shades to choose from so even the hardest-to-match skin tone should find its color.
Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking Powder
Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking Powder is specifically made for those with dark complexions. It won the “Allure” Best of Beauty award in 2009 because it helps mattify oily skin and even out darker skin tones. This is a loose powder so if you want more coverage, use a Kabuki brush – which has denser bristles, creating better coverage.
Laura Gellar Baked To-Go Balance n Brighten
This color correcting powder by Laura Gellar is recommended by “Redbook" magazine for balancing uneven complexions while giving skin a soft glow. It helps to even out skin tone, get rid of ruddiness in the skin and even brighten dull skin. Since the Laura Gellar Baked To-Go Balance n Brighten powder is also mineral-oil free, it helps mattify oily skin instead of adding to it.
Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20
This mineral powder makeup helps to perfect skin while reducing shine. Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder -- recommended by “Redbook” because it's long lasting and easy-to-use -- also protects skin from sun damage which can cause blotchy, uneven skin tone in the future. The coverage from this powder is buildable so the more you use, the more coverage you get.
