My Top Three Series: Powders

The final in this series is Powder.
I never really understood why powder was necessary in a makeup routine but now I really get it. It helps to set the make up in place. I'm not really a heavy make up kinda gal so most days I just wear a small amount of powder. These are my top three:

1. Mac MIneralize Skinfinish Natural (Dark)
2. Maybelline Fit Me (355 Cocunut)
3.Collection 2000 Pressed powder (15 Warm Bronze)





1. Mac MIneralize Skinfinish Natural 
   This is a great powder which can be used on its own or to set foundation. It's lightweight and it's a bit like a mix of a bronzer and a powder as it leaves an amazing glow. This powder lasts for a very long time so it's definetely worth the Mac price tag.

I apply this powder with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This powder is available for £22.00 from Mac Cosmetics online or in stores.

2. Maybelline Fit Me Powder
At first I had a bit of a love hate relationship with this powder until I realised that a little goes a long way. If you use to much it tends to be a little drying and cakey. However a small amount of product sets foundation perfectly. This powder mattifys really well so I highly recommend it for oily skin.

I apply this powder with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This powder is available for £5.99 from Maybelline stands at Superdrug and Boots and online.

3.Collection 2000 Pressed Power is a super lightweight powder with a cheap and cheerful price tag. I think this Pressed Powder could easily give competition to some high end rivals. However it has that old school 90's makeup smell which some people may not like. I don't mind it as it reminds me of when my Aunt used to sneak and put a bit of her powder on me.

The only thing I don't like about this powder is the packaging, it looks very cheap and the cover often falls off.

This is a long lasting powder which is perfect for make up newbies, and something I think everyone should try.

I apply this product with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This product is available for £1.99 from Collection stands at Superdrug and Boots and Online.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading my top three series. 

Thanks for reading.
