Which are the best powder foundations?

With a new generation of formulas and ultra-fine lightweight finishes, powder foundations are having a bit of a revival in the beauty world.

Ideal for oily skin types and for adding a little bit of extra coverage on top of other base products, powder foundations softly mattify the skin and conceal imperfections to leave your complexion even with a flawless finish. The pressed powders are also perfect for on-the-go touch ups making them an essential in your everyday makeup bag.
