Best Budget Powder

Jessica Mousseau
Powder is an important part of a woman's make-up routine. It helps set foundation and control shine. Some powders even have different formulas for different skin issues. Prices vary, but once you decide exactly what you are looking for in your powder, such as quality and durability, you should be able to find one at a price you can afford.

Why it's best: Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder is Cover Girl's original formula, but with no added fragrance. It controls shine, and reduces pore visibility. Choose from fifteen different shades.

Maybelline Shine-Free Oil Control Translucent Pressed Powder

Why it's best: Maybelline Shine-Free Oil Control Translucent Pressed Powder
provides a coverage and look that eliminates "shiny skin syndrome". Because it comes in a compact, it is easy to carry and use anywhere.
