Pressed Powder
Foundations
These offer more coverage and
staying power than regular pressed
powders. Look for a silky finish and
one that’s easy to blend. Most offer
light to medium coverage and work
best on normal to slightly dry or
slightly oily skin types. If you want
more coverage, building too much
powder on your skin can look thick
and overdone.
Cream-to-
Powder Compact
Foundations
These are a hybrid of pressedpowder
and a creamy liquid
foundation. They are creamy on
first application but once blended
leave a slightly matte, powdery
finish. Coverage is buildable, from
sheer to full and is best for normal
to slightly oily or slightly dry skin.
Great for touch-ups on the run and
minimal fuss.

#9 Hamilton Everyday Face SPF 50+,
$12.95. Sheer tint for an invisible matt
finish with UVA/UVB broad spectrum
protection. Helps protect against
premature ageing and sun damage.
There aren’t many stick foundations
out there, probably because of
their reputation as being too thick
and waxy in texture and not the
best for acneic skin. But I think
this is a shame as the good ones in
this category offer a silky smooth
and soft matte finish while giving
supreme coverage. Not to mention
the fact it can double up as a
concealer and is amazingly portable.
Best for normal skin.
#10 Physicians Formula Super CC
Color-Correction + Care CC Cream,
$25.95. Colour, correction and care
effortlessly blend to camouflage
imperfections in this cream
makeup formula.
#11 Colorescience Pressed Mineral
Foundation, $69.50. Provides light
to full coverage with a weightless,
non-drying feeling on the skin. It
gives the appearance of perfection
without the thick look of traditional
pressed powder.
