Looking for an acne-safe pressed powder?
Hi!
I am looking for some pressed powder recommendations. I like to use pressed powder for a little bit of extra coverage in certain areas once my base is finished. I have been using the Kosas Cloud Set in the shade Airy which is a great shade for my pale skin and I love the effect it has on my makeup but it is 100% breaking me out. I have read online that there are 10 FA triggers and 3 oils in it so it kinda makes sense now. My skin also tends to get small bumps if I use anything with squalane in, which the powder also has! It's disappointing as it gave the perfect bit of extra coverage at the end of my routine and was the perfect shade.
Does anyone have any alternatives? (I have tried the CT pressed powder and the Huda pressed powder and my skin doesn't like those either lol)
