Do you set your foundation with powder?

Face powder used to be a staple beauty product - no lady would be caught without her compact - what would she do in the powder room?!

But a few years ago powder seemed to become a bit of a forgotten item, lumped in with other 'nanna' products like Rose Water and Cold Cream.  But like all good things, they seem to have a way of coming back in style.  Watch any YouTube tutorial and chances are they'll 'set' their foundation with a powder.

We're going to be putting the Moisture Mist Translucent Pressed Powder to the test.  This product is perfect for keeping your makeup fresh and reducing oil sheen. It's so handy and compact and has a built-in mirror, meaning it's perfect for on-the-go touch ups.

So if you'd like to put your hand up for this trial team, why not tell us your thoughts on powder - who uses face powder these days?  Does this product still have a solid place in your make up routine?  And if you do use it, what format do you prefer? Does the compact still rule? Or has loose powder taken over?

Face powder - neccessity or nanna?

I use the ELF translucent powder to set my face - I quite like it. I do think I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to branch out though, whenever I use powders on top (blush, bronzer etc) it seems to chip away the foundation. Not sure if it's cos of the powder but I'm almost positive it is!

I love setting with a powder! especially my under eye area. Setting with a translucent powder is always great for if I want to set my makeup but don't want any extra coverage. I've heard amazing things about moisture mist but haven't gotten around to trying any of their products yet. I'd love to see how this compares to others I have been trying. I usually go for pressed powders as I find them easier to apply and less messy :)

I have no idea about powders but would like to learn more!

Oh I didn't realise powder wasn't in! Maybe I am a Nana, but I love my compact - the powder gets rid of shine and oiliness (I am not a fan of the dewy look for myself). Loose powder goes everywhere, so I prefer compacts as you can keep them in your bag for touch ups.
