I can't remember when is the last time I used powder. For me, it's always either bb cream or liquid foundation and I'm good to go for work. I used to like the full base makeup routine, consisting of makeup base > foundation > loose powder to set my makeup but after I started working, I realised that if I apply powder, it makes my face look more dry and sometimes 'crack lines' appear. Plus, applying powder makes my face and my features look flat which I'm pretty sure none of you would want that. Having said that, because I'm very much of a base makeup person, I love my loose powders and pressed powders. Although sometimes they don't work the way I want them to - reduce shine but yet not make my face and features appear flat, I still like to try out different brands of loose/pressed powder to find the best one that work for me.
