Guide to Pick the Best Face Powder For Your Skin Type
-
Picking the Right Shade
Pick the shade that matches your natural skin tone. If you pick a compact that is a few shades lighter than your skin color, it will turn your skin ashy or grey in a few hours.
Identify your skin type and decide the coverage level beforehand. You can go with a pink undertone for a lighter skin tone. Or you can pick a shade or two lighter than your skin tone if you have a lighter skin tone.
For a deeper skin tone, choose a compact face powder with an orange or yellow undertone and a shade that matches your skin tone.
Try the product on your face instead of the back of your hand to find the right shade. Every face powder comes with a different coverage level. Pick translucent powder or sheer coverage powder to get a more natural finish. Full or medium coverage is the best choice to even out the unevenness and imperfections.

For Dry Skin
You have to be careful while choosing a face powder for dry as any wrong choice can accentuate every fine line and dry patch.
The powder that has a satin and creamy texture is the best for dry skin. Avoid matte-finish powders as they will make your skin drier. Instead, go with translucent or cream-based powder to make your skin look less flaky and healthier.
Apply moisturizer before starting to apply makeup. Massage it into the skin. Wait for some time for it to get absorbed.

For Oily Skin
Look for powders with absorbing ingredients like talc or silica. These ingredients soak up the excess oil which will give a shine-free and matte look for hours.
