The Huda beauty in poundcake and Laura mercier powder translucent : don’t get me wrong these were nice but because my skin is the way it is these just made my skin look and feel so so so so so dry and look cakey and crusty even tho I would apply as little as I could. It made it look like make up was just SITTING on my face yk??

i know this isn’t on your list but the huda beauty cherry blossom is unbeatable 😍But from those i would choose the kosas, it has a beautiful airbrush finish, similar to the charlotte tilbury flawless finish.

Huda!!! Its so easy to use. I don’t know what is so special about it but my makeup is always the best it’s been when I use that powder.

i have dry skin and honestly the huda powder doesn’t do it for you. i find better results with a pressed or baked powder, i love the kosas one or the tower 28 for something more matte, ppl swear by the CT pressed powder too.
