Skin Type: Dry
I was hesitant to use a powder foundation on my dry skin, but I loved the way this one looked dusted on top of my regular skin tints and dewy foundations. I used it to set my T-zone and add extra coverage to the center of my face, which was perfect for my minimalist makeup routine. I also loved the way this powder looked pressed under my eyes with the included powder puff — it made the area look super smooth and flawless. I’m pleasantly surprised by this powder!

Skin Type: Combination
For most of my adult life, I have had an aversion to powder foundations thanks to an ill-advised obsession with the stuff during my teenage years. (We’re talking tragic levels of cakiness and unfortunate too-orange shades.) But this unbelievably silky powder from Maybelline New York has me reconsidering my liquid-only approach to foundation. Since I have combination skin, the soft matte finish was perfect for controlling shine on my forehead and nose throughout the day. But, at the same time, the super-soft powder texture didn’t accentuate my dry patches the way some foundations do. Against all odds, I am ready to welcome powder foundation back into my life again.

Skin Type: Oily
I’m fairly new to powder foundation, but with so many trending on TikTok, I was excited to get my hands on this one from Maybelline New York. My hesitation with powder formulas has always been due to a fear that my skin would look too cakey, but I was impressed with how this one sat on my skin. It has a beautiful soft-matte finish that I found lasted throughout the day. Given that I have oily skin, I was convinced that shine was going to peek through at some point in the day, but even after 12 hours of wear, I was surprised to find that the powder was still intact! This just might be my perfect foundation for summer.
