13 Best Powder Foundations To Revolutionise Your Makeup Routine

Powder compacts also make great alternatives to traditional liquid foundations for oily skin and acne-prone skin types, largely thanks to their oil-controlling and shine-reducing properties and non-comedogenic formulations. But if you’re team dry or combination skin, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dabble in powder foundations. Rest assured, there’s plenty of options on the market that aren’t too drying; and if you’re not a fan of the matte look, you can simply use them strategically and place the product on areas that could benefit from some mattifying (think your T-zone and your under-eye area).

To help you narrow down your pick, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on the very best foundations that the beauty industry has to offer, from premium and affordable buys to trending products and newest launches, all courtesy of reputable brands like e.l.f. Cosmetics, Shiseido, Maybelline, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder and, of course, MAC. The GLAMOUR team also regularly tests some of the latest beauty innovations on a daily basis, having trialled hundreds of different types of loose powder and press powder foundations over the years, so we also made sure to include options that come with a GLAMOUR stamp of approval. So read up and enjoy.
