I really like it when you feature a product on the marble with the name and cost. That's a real differentiator from other channels and way more professional and helpful.
Idk why Jamie doesn't have more followers. She's so informative and I feel like my makeup game has improved since I started watching her videos. I like her way better than a lot of the bigger UA-camrs. She's laid back and I love her style so so so much.
kaitlyn pruemer I agree!!!!!! Even tho i basically have the complete opposite of her skin type i genuinely love watching her videos!! They're so beautifully edited and well-informed and she's just so genuine and down to earth. She's like a warm soothing cup of tea in the mad world of MUA's 🙏🏼❤️ KEEP DOING YOU JAMIE!
Her time is coming I can feel it . She is going to start getting more followers by the day . Laura Lee didn't have a huge following and she kept pushing and look at her now . She is huge in the UA-cam world !
I actually own the RCMA powder and I agree that it looks flawless, but it doesn't seem to hold the oil at bay for long. How do the oily folks use it? Do you bake?
Yay!! A review targeted to those of us with dry skin! Thanks so much for doing this, now I have several choices. It seems you and Kathleen are the only UA-camrs who deal with dry skin, or perhaps address it in their videos, so thanks. 😊
***** I feel like it actually smooths the texture of my skin. Has light reflecting pigments in it so I feel like it has a blurring quality. And it's such a creamy and soft powder! Already hit pan on one and bought two more yesterday! I use it every day!
Thank you for that honest review. I was going through something similar with my Laura Mercier powder. And you are helping me accept that it's not me, its that powder! I've changed everything to try to make it work, but it was the culprit all along. Everyone hyped it up so much, that I had a hard time believing that it could be the one causing all of the dry patches and cracks in my skin! Time to put it to rest and try something new. I will give some of your recommendations a try! Thanks!
Jamie Paige Thanks!! I tried the bye bye pores pressed powder today with the hourglass ambient lighting powder on the high points of my face and cheeks and I really like the way it turned out 🙄😁
Omg I'm totally with you on the Laura Mercier powder!!! I keep forcing myself to use it thinking I'm crazy for not loving it like everyone else lol. I'm so happy I'm not alone lol. I also love the charlotte tilbury and rcma powder you mentioned! So beautiful on dry skin
I'm really glad you mentioned the Laura Mercier powder because I feel the same way. I tried to like it but it just looks odd on my dry skin! It makes it look flat and dry and doesn't help my makeup last longer. I thought I was the only one who didn't like it!
Yes ! The laura mercier looks awesome on my oily skin ... need to try the RCMA... whenever you are tan try radiant light to buff your makeup you'll love it ! ❤❤❤ for the NARS powder scratch it the top layer so that you can really try it it's good but the flashback is awful AF
Jamie Paige I agree that's why I bought the loose version but on every video I've seen people say they scratched the top ... I love nars but in my opinion this one of the worst nars products I've tried even the loose version ... the flashback is just too intense.
Jamie Paige I agree, as much as makeup can cost these days, or even if it's cheap, I don't think anyone should have to scrape the top of ANY makeup to work!!
Tenille Tollison don't shoot the messenger. I didn't do that to my powder it was loose. I would take it back to Sephora before scratching it but if you have it and want to use it then scratch it cuz supposedly is the only way for it to work.
Omg...I thought I was crazy because I didn't like the LM translucent powder. I tried so hard to like it, but it shouldn't have to be that way when there are so many powders that do work! Kind of a newbie to your channel and I love it! 💕
I'm loving your Best and Worst videos, especially this one. I have oily skin, knowing what works and what doesn't on dryer skin is very helpful because they may not work for me. Thanks for this video!
Jamie Page - you have done it again! After watching this video, I couldn't resist trying the Charlotte Tilbury powder. I am in love. I swore I would never spend that much on powder, but it's totally worth it! I have you to thank for all of my life changing products (i.e. IT Cosmetics CC Cream, L'Oreal Pro Glow, ABH Modern Renaissance). Keep up the AMAZING work!
Maya Wilkins I have dry skin and really like the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder for setting under my eyes. its really silky and doesn't emphasise dryness or pores. Its tied with the Too Faced Primed and Poreless, my other favorite setting powder. I also own the IT Cosmetics Celebration Illumination, its a good powder foundation with good coverage but I prefer the Too Faced Cocoa Powder foundation which looks nicer on the skin.
I love the Bare Minerals power. I wish it got more attention by other beauty gurus. Also, I thought I was crazy for not liking the Laura Mercier power since everyone one raved about it... but you hit the nail in the head...it attaches to dry patches. I have dry undereye area and just makes it worse for me. Thank you for your reviews.
I used to work for Laura Mercier & I hate the translucent powder too! I have dry skin & it was so cakey 🎂on my face! I really want to try the Charlotte Tillbury powder you recommended.....I hope it works for me! 🙏🏽
totally agreed with you on the LM powder. I tried so hard to like it but it really just make my skin looks awful and dry. I do have combination to dry skin. Totally in love with CT pressed powder now, so beautiful.
I've been using the Bare Minerals Hydrating Mineral Veil and it's SO good! It sets down all my makeup and smoothed out my skin, but still keeps a glow and doesn't look powdery at all. It's amazing for dry skin - it makes my skin so soft!
Loved this video! I actually have oily skin and am looking for a setting powder but have noticed some of the powders make my skin look textured, aged, or look like my makeup is caked on. I am so glad you called the truth on the infamous Laura Mercier powder. I didn't have the same negative experience with it but for the price it did not anything for me and I would not repurchase. Thanks for your HONEST review. It is very much appreciated! 😄
The Maybelline Better Skin Pressed Powder at the drugstore is really amazing! It's a cheap alternative to high end pressed powders, but it's still really high quality and finely milled. I have never tried the Tillbury powder, but the characteristics Jamie listed sounded like the Better Skin.
Great info. I tried the Tart pressed smooth operator similar to Nars crystal powder and it made my under eyes so crinkled. The Tart powder does release product, so it would be great for someone with oily skin.
I really need to give the RCMA powder and the Charlotte Tilbury powder a try. It seems no matter what your skin type or how old you are everyone. for the most part, loves those two powders. Thanks for the 5x5!
I use the RCMA no color powder, airspun in translucent, and Laura Mercier also in translucent are my ride or dies. I really appreciate this videos and I hope you keep em coming. Thanks Jamie! 💯👍
Awesome video. CT powder is my fav. I wanted to mention that I have dry skin the nars powder is amazing if you use a powder puff. Brush bristles don't seem to grab enough product. In case anyone has it and is frustrated with it not doing much- I use the Laura merrier powder puff and it works great that way.
So glad you featured a Bare minerals product. They're so underrated & make beautiful products. The well rested concealer is magical. I've never found a loose powder concealer that brightens & doesn't look dry or cakey. I use it mostly over my liquid concealer & it brightens my under eyes 10x, keeps it from creasing up bad. I can't say enough about it. It brightens better than *anything* I've ever tried.
I have combination skin, especially dry under my eyes. I use Airspun and It is literally my favorite makeup staple of all time! Also, have you tried the Nyx HD translucent powder? I'm curious about your thoughts on that because it oxidized so weird on my skin.
Bought the RCMA powder after hearing you rave about it in previous videos and it did NOT disappoint! Best powder setting powder I've ever used hands down! Thanks Jamie 😊❤️
Yes! Finally someone who thinks the Laura Mercier powder isn't worth the hype! I have combo skin & found that the LM powder kinda worked on the hottest days of summer, other than that, it just looks cakey! I must try the CT one, looks like I might like that. Where in Canada can you get the RCMA powder?
Yesss!!! I love RCMA but I don't use it on myself or my clients if we have photos taken. I love Charlotte Tilbury powder as well along the Hourglass one. I am also using the Wet n' Wild photo focus one and the Covergirl one. You should try the Covergirl powder! I am more on the oily side and I don't need to do any baking to stop my under eyes crease when I use this product. I don't usually have time to touch up but my friend has dry skin like you and she loves it also. The Covergirl Advanced Radiance Pressed powder
I completely agree with you, the Laura Mercier makes my skin look sooo dry and the only reason why I bought it was because of the good reviews. And I do love the Charlotte Tillbury. Thank you for the review! ❤
This was so helpful! Us dry skin girls need a little extra love when it comes to powders! Love your channel & that you stay real and down to earth.. I am in the beginning stages of trying to start my own channel and videos like yours make me realize I can do it and be myself! 💋
Jaime...just found this. I'm 50 with dry skin and I have the Laura Mercier Candlelight Powder and I love it on my skin. It's like the Ambient light powder.
I'm early, YAY!! I agree with you on the Laura Mercier powder, sooo dry and looked cakey on my skin. I love all the Hourglass powders & the Charlotte Tilbury is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!!
I just subscribed very recently and you are already my absolute favorite! I also have crazy dry skin and I LOVE that you do reviews of products and specifically address that concern. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks Jamie for a great video. I have mature and dry skin and I totally agree with you about LM powder, but I love a lot of her other products especially her matte radiance bronzer. Agree with you on all your best powder recommendations I have them too and you are spot on.
Thank you very much for this review ! I hate the Laura Mercier too, despite its good reputation. I would love to try the Charlotte Tilbury's one and the Hourglass's one, they look great !
I agree with you, Laura Mercier powder looks caky on my and shows all of my dry patches. My favorite is the Cover FX perfect setting powder. Have you tried it.
I have been using the Maybelline Fit Me powder for like the last 4 years! 😅 Before that it was the Rimmel Stay Matte, for like 3 years. It's hard for me to try new powders 😂
This is so helpful. I also have really dry skin and struggle with finding a powder that works for me so most of the time I just end up not setting my foundation. Ill definitely be trying out some of the bests on the list.
I LOVE the NYC smooth face loose translucent powder for my dry skin! I have eczema on my face and it has never clung to any of my dry patches! It's amazing, for me anyway. Also, where is your top from? It is SO CUTE!💗
Jamie, the Nars powder is a staple in my handbag for touch ups when I get oily. I had the same problem and was totally baffled, but I read that if you scratch up the surface of the powder with a fork or something similar, it helps remove the top layer and it is so much easier for the product to get picked up. Afterwards, it works pretty decently! It stops me from looking oily without making me look totally matte, as I love a dewy look. Shame it's so troublesome but it's still worth a shot if you wanna test out the performance of it!!
I've recently found ur channel and I'm glad I did. Representing for us dry skin peeps! The struggle to find good powders is real. Can't wait to try some of ur recommendations.
I know this is going to be controversial for dry skins girls.. but the RCMA was the worst/most drying powder I have used on my dry skin.. hands-down! I had such high hopes for it seeing as every dry skin beauty youtuber has raved about it.. but it instantly made my foundation crack and cake-up and look like a desert on my face lol. Has anyone else experienced this? A powder though that is totally under-rated and no one knows about, is the Cinema Secrets translucent powder! It's magic.. it fills in all my pores and makes my skin look air-brushesd and the tiniest bit goes the longest way.. would love to hear your thoughts on it!
This is soooo helpful!!! I hated Laura mercier so much and I’ve been scared to try a powder ever since. It made my undereye feel uncomfortably dry and made them crease more and look like I had wrinkles... can’t wait to try these.
I just recently bought the small size of that Laura Mercier powder. I think maybe you hit the nail on the head of how I was feeling about it? I wasn't blown away as I thiught I'd be. From the sounds of what you showed, I think I may like that "un powder" from RMS..Tnx for the recommendation..
I am a big powder fan. I have combo skin so I love to set my makeup but I also have dry patches EVERYWHERE. I am OBSESSED with the CT powder. it is so beautiful. and the bare minerals powder too! essence has a pressed translucent powder that I think is great for the price.
Oh! I hate the Laura Mercier Translucent powder as well! Although to be fair, I have super dry skin as well. Maybe it just doesn't work for dry skin. Nars loose powder one is not bad, but I just don't like how matte it is after applying it. The only one that works for me so far, is the Make Up Forever one. I will try the Hourglass one just like you said, sometimes the dry skin just want some glow. LOL
I actually love the NARS pressed powder to set my undereye concealer and I'm 37 so there ARE fine lines there. The fact that seemingly nothing comes off is the magic. The small amount that comes off is just enough to settle that concealer without getting in those fine lines. Maybe your skin is still too youthful to truly appreciate what it does. :)
I subscribed to your channel a while back and have been on a UA-cam hiatus lately but coming back I love how your videos are still such high quality, informational and detailed
Jaime I hope you can do a review of organic foundations. I just started using the Vapour soft focus one and was quite blown away by how good it is. I'm hoping to try Kjaer Weis next but organic makeup can be so expensive so a review from someone I really trust would be awesome.
I know this may sound weird,but this is the perfect opportunity to ask lol. I would love an in depth setting powder video. My under eye is not that smooth, as I have approached 30 this year😣 I have to set, as my foundation will slide off,but I don't know how to 'properly'. I end up looking like a cake face. 😂😂 Honestly, I know it sounds so simple and I feel silly asking... But i haven't found a decent video focused on setting the face, the different ways, the different powders etc. ALSO-- Do you have all the new Tarte eyeshadow palletes?? I am having a hard time not buying all of them.😣😣 I have the Pro and Maneater, but I feel like I need the other couple that are out now too. The pro to go, andddd I cannot remember the names of the others.😂😂 I would love YOUR review on the palettes. Or a save your money and just go with the pro... lol. I am needy, I know. Loved this video. Love all your videos.😘 XO
Megan Lewis Wayne Goss just made a video about cake face and what to do to avoid it. I would take a look at it, he's pretty spectacular and knows his stuff!! 👍🏻😁 Hope you find it helpful.
I truly love watching your videos. I discovered you back when Kathleen gave you a shoutout, and I have been hooked ever since. You have so much knowledge about products and I just find all your videos so interesting and entertaining. Thank you for always making my day a bit better!
hi jamie! you're always such a joy to watch. im reviewing for the bar exams and watching your videos is my break from studying = always worth it! much love from manila, philippines! :*
The rcma and Laura mercier clung on to all my dry patches. I can only use the it cosmetics, ambient lightening powders and the reserve your cabaña by wnw.
This video was very helpful! I also love your hair color so much! Although this is a makeup channel I would like to see a video of how you take care of your hair , you have the perfect shade of dark blonde!
Have you tried Mac Careblend ? It doesn't have a dry texfure at all for a compact powder because of the oils and shea butter in it ! It really is beautiful for dry skin !
I felt the same about the Laura Mercier powder. I tried it for a like a week cause I wanted to love it but it made my face look so dry and clung on to all my dry patches. I returned it. I now have the Cover FX setting powder and I'm impressed. I must try the RMCA powder.
I have very dry skin and these are the drugstore powders that work for me -- NYX No Filter Finishing Powder, Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Face Powder, and No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder.
Today I decided to give my Laura mercier powder one last try...was sitting here looking at weird balls of foundation and powder separation when I found your video! Glad it’s not just me!
I so wanted to get the Charlotte Tilbury powder but it has almond oil in it (I have a nut allergy). I really have been enjoying the Laura Mercier Candleglow powder on my dry skin.
I've currently been using the By Terry Hydra Powder which I'm loving. Another of my favourites is the Bourjois Healthy Balance powder, my only problem with it is that it is too dark for me even in the lightest shade. I definitely want to try your recommendations next.
Great video Jamie! The Bobbi Brown powder did the same thing on my face, not sure why they put soooo much glitter in this product! I was curious to know your thoughts on the Laura Mercier Candleglow powder which is similar to the Hourglass Ambient powder?
I have the the loose version of the nars power and I love it, I have dry skin and use this powder all year round. It leaves the most airbrushed finish, makes my makeup last all day, and products lay beautifully on top of it. I would definitely recommend trying the loose version :)!
I agree with everything, totally hate how the Laura mercier powder looks on my dry skin. you should try the It cosmetics bye bye pores loose powder, ITS AMAZING!
I had the same issue with the NARS powder, but I'd seen reviews on it so I knew what to expect. I just took a bobby pin and scraped the top layer off and it's much better. It's become one of my favorite powders because it's so light on the skin.
I love my Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in Diffused Light and my Bobbi Brown pressed powder in Pale Yellow, but I only buy them during VIB sales. I have a few other powders that I don't reach for even though they are fine. I get that you find one (or two) you love and it's hard to pass it by for something else.
I have both the Laura mercier and the Kat von D and since I have really dry skin it left me cracked as well, I had given up on powder until I tried the Charlotte tilbury one 💗
Omg I thought I was the only one who didn't love the Laura mercier powder!!! I also have dry skin and I hate that powder!!! It clings to every dry patch!! And couldn't agree more about the hourglass ambient lighting powder n dim light. Love it 😍
I love it thank you! I have the NARS pressed powder and i actually like it! product doesn't come off a lot at first, but once you get past like the top layer, it should come off more! love you!!
I really like it when you feature a product on the marble with the name and cost. That's a real differentiator from other channels and way more professional and helpful.
super happy that you find it helpful ✨❤️
Idk why Jamie doesn't have more followers. She's so informative and I feel like my makeup game has improved since I started watching her videos. I like her way better than a lot of the bigger UA-camrs. She's laid back and I love her style so so so much.
💜!
SHE REPLIED TO ME SLKDHFSAK. SDIFBSAFKJ AHHH
kaitlyn pruemer I agree!!!!!! Even tho i basically have the complete opposite of her skin type i genuinely love watching her videos!! They're so beautifully edited and well-informed and she's just so genuine and down to earth. She's like a warm soothing cup of tea in the mad world of MUA's 🙏🏼❤️ KEEP DOING YOU JAMIE!
I agree, I feel like her opinions are so much more honest and genuine, unlike some of the big youtubers
Her time is coming I can feel it . She is going to start getting more followers by the day . Laura Lee didn't have a huge following and she kept pushing and look at her now . She is huge in the UA-cam world !
I'm so oily I'm going to try all the powders you hate. :D
Puja Wahi rcma i heard was good for oily skin too
hahah, that makes sense!! 🙃👌🏻
Yes, in fact I'm oily and RCMA no color powder is my holy grail! It's universal tbh!
The RCMA is great..I'm very oily and it works great for me.
I actually own the RCMA powder and I agree that it looks flawless, but it doesn't seem to hold the oil at bay for long. How do the oily folks use it? Do you bake?
Yay!! A review targeted to those of us with dry skin! Thanks so much for doing this, now I have several choices. It seems you and Kathleen are the only UA-camrs who deal with dry skin, or perhaps address it in their videos, so thanks. 😊
you're so welcome!!
Elizabeth Hannah pixiwoo sisters have dry skin too & always talk about good powders :) I have dry skin too so I try to follow all of them haha
Jessica Braun also has dry skin. I like a lot of her recommendations for my dry skin, too.
J.HILL HAS DRY SKIN!! WHOO HOO! (lool)
jaclyn hill
also has dry skin 💜💜
My favorite drugstore powder for dry or more mature skin is the Covergirl Advanced Radiance powder! It's amazing!!!
***** I feel like it actually smooths the texture of my skin. Has light reflecting pigments in it so I feel like it has a blurring quality. And it's such a creamy and soft powder! Already hit pan on one and bought two more yesterday! I use it every day!
***** you're welcome!

I just ordered the Charlotte Tilbury one so I'm excited to try it!
awesome!! I hope you love it!
Jamie Paige Thanks!! I tried the bye bye pores pressed powder today with the hourglass ambient lighting powder on the high points of my face and cheeks and I really like the way it turned out 🙄😁
I love the Bare Minerals mineral veil to set my foundation.
Omg I'm totally with you on the Laura Mercier powder!!! I keep forcing myself to use it thinking I'm crazy for not loving it like everyone else lol. I'm so happy I'm not alone lol. I also love the charlotte tilbury and rcma powder you mentioned! So beautiful on dry skin
Oh also what do you think of the mac mineralize skin finish? I've heard that one can also be good for dry skin but I haven't tried it yet
I'm really glad you mentioned the Laura Mercier powder because I feel the same way. I tried to like it but it just looks odd on my dry skin! It makes it look flat and dry and doesn't help my makeup last longer. I thought I was the only one who didn't like it!

isn't it silly that you HAVE to scratch off the top layer to use it 🙈🙈🙈
Jamie Paige I agree that's why I bought the loose version but on every video I've seen people say they scratched the top ... I love nars but in my opinion this one of the worst nars products I've tried even the loose version ... the flashback is just too intense.

Jordana Vargas i use my beauty blender and apply it. Works!
I AM EARLY OMYGOD WOW LOVE HOW YOU PUT SO MUCH EFFORT IN YOUR VIDEOS!!
hahah, thank you Sheena!
Finally someone that doesn't love the Laura Mercia powder! It looked so awful on me. I returned it.
Omg...I thought I was crazy because I didn't like the LM translucent powder. I tried so hard to like it, but it shouldn't have to be that way when there are so many powders that do work! Kind of a newbie to your channel and I love it! 💕
I'm loving your Best and Worst videos, especially this one. I have oily skin, knowing what works and what doesn't on dryer skin is very helpful because they may not work for me. Thanks for this video!
Have you tried the cover fx pressed powders?
YES! I love them! I was actually going to include them In this video, but it shattered right before filming 😳
Jamie Paige do you think it would work well w combo/oily?
Great! That's what I was planning on getting :)
Jamie Paige - was it the cover doc perfect translucent one that just came out?! I love love love it!!!
Jamie Page - you have done it again! After watching this video, I couldn't resist trying the Charlotte Tilbury powder. I am in love. I swore I would never spend that much on powder, but it's totally worth it!

+cotterilei that makes me so happy to hear!!
V interested to know your thoughts on the various IT cosmetics powder like Bye Bye Pores, the CC+ one, the Celebration Foundation, etc.
Maya Wilkins I have dry skin and really like the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores powder for setting under my eyes. its really silky and doesn't emphasise dryness or pores. Its tied with the Too Faced Primed and Poreless, my other favorite setting powder. I also own the IT Cosmetics Celebration Illumination, its a good powder foundation with good coverage but I prefer the Too Faced Cocoa Powder foundation which looks nicer on the skin.
YES! It cosmetics pls! It's Kathleen's and miss Brianna Stanko's holy grail! I'd also love to have your review!
I love the Bare Minerals power. I wish it got more attention by other beauty gurus. Also, I thought I was crazy for not liking the Laura Mercier power since everyone one raved about it... but you hit the nail in the head...it attaches to dry patches. I have dry undereye area and just makes it worse for me.

I've just bought the Charlotte tilbury powder in light . I've been struggling to find a powder that doesn't make me look cakey 😖. Great video 😊
It's good to hear I'm not the only one who didn't like the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder. It reacts horribly to my dry skin.
Loved this video! I actually have oily skin and am looking for a setting powder but have noticed some of the powders make my skin look textured, aged, or look like my makeup is caked on. I am so glad you called the truth on the infamous Laura Mercier powder. I didn't have the same negative experience with it but for the price it did not anything for me and I would not repurchase.

I love how you are so knowledgeable about the products. that's the main reason i decided to subscribe.
The ones that didn't work for you works amazingly well with my oily skin xD
lmfao! Makes sense!!
I really need to give the RCMA powder and the Charlotte Tilbury powder a try. It seems no matter what your skin type or how old you are everyone. for the most part, loves those two powders.
Thanks for the 5x5!
I really like the NYX HD Finishing Powder in Translucent!! I find it to be very finely milled and it sits really nicely on the skin!
Isabella Gonzales but it has the worst flashback
Isabella Gonzales do you think it will suit dry skin?
Good to know about the Laura Mercier! I was close to buying this but I tend to have normal to dry skin, so might not have worked out for me!
I completely agree with you in regards to the Laura mercier translucent powder. It clinged to my dry patches. 😔
I use the RCMA no color powder, airspun in translucent, and Laura Mercier also in translucent are my ride or dies. I really appreciate this videos and I hope you keep em coming. Thanks Jamie! 💯👍
I am so glad I watched this. I was debating on buying the Laura Mercier powder, but not I am not. I have super super dry skin. Thank you!!!

to grab enough product. In case anyone has it and is frustrated with it not doing much- I use the Laura merrier powder puff and it works great that way.
You defiantly should try Ben Nye Luxury Powder, it is mine all time favourite powder!
So glad you featured a Bare minerals product. They're so underrated & make beautiful products. The well rested concealer is magical.

Jaime...just found this. I'm 50 with dry skin and I have the Laura Mercier Candlelight Powder and I love it on my skin. It's like the Ambient light powder.
I hope to see this in drugstore version too! And also some other brands (KIKO,...). :)
2ketrin the new Wet n Wild Photofocus powders are soooo nice! its flawless and doesnt accentuate dryness or pores like other drugstore powders
I'm early, YAY!!
I agree with you on the Laura Mercier powder, sooo dry and looked cakey on my skin.
I love all the Hourglass powders & the Charlotte Tilbury is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!!
i love your peachy eye look!! also the charlotte tilbury powder has been my fave for a while too, it's to die for 😍
I just subscribed very recently and you are already my absolute favorite! I also have crazy dry skin and I LOVE that you do reviews of products and specifically address that concern. Thank you thank you thank you!
you're so welcome!! :D
Thanks Jamie for a great video. I have mature and dry skin and I totally agree with you about LM powder, but I love a lot of her other products especially her matte radiance bronzer. Agree with you on all your best powder recommendations I have them too and you are spot on.
my favorite is the Nars loose light reflecting pwder. it blurs pores and fine lines so well!
Thank you very much for this review ! I hate the Laura Mercier too, despite its good reputation. I would love to try the Charlotte Tilbury's one and the Hourglass's one, they look great !
I agree with you, Laura Mercier powder looks caky on my and shows all of my dry patches. My favorite is the Cover FX perfect setting powder. Have you tried it.
I have been using the Maybelline Fit Me powder for like the last 4 years! 😅 Before that it was the Rimmel Stay Matte, for like 3 years. It's hard for me to try new powders 😂
This is so helpful. I also have really dry skin and struggle with finding a powder that works for me so most of the time I just end up not setting my foundation. Ill definitely be trying out some of the bests on the list.
I LOVE the NYC smooth face loose translucent powder for my dry skin! I have eczema on my face and it has never clung to any of my dry patches! It's amazing, for me anyway. Also, where is your top from? It is SO CUTE!💗
Thats so interesting about the bobbi brown powder, I tend to expect better things from them as a brand
Jamie, the Nars powder is a staple in my handbag for touch ups when I get oily. I had the same problem and was totally baffled, but I read that if you scratch up the surface of the powder with a fork or something similar, it helps remove the top layer and it is so much easier for the product to get picked up. Afterwards, it works pretty decently! It stops me from looking oily without making me look totally matte, as I love a dewy look. Shame it's so troublesome but it's still worth a shot if you wanna test out the performance of it!!
I've recently found ur channel and I'm glad I did. Representing for us dry skin peeps! The struggle to find good powders is real. Can't wait to try some of ur recommendations.
Try the coverFx translucent setting powder. It's talc free so great for people with dry skin. I have dry skin and it's my absolutely amazing.
I know this is going to be controversial for dry skins girls.. but the RCMA was the worst/most drying powder I have used on my dry skin.. hands-down! I had such high hopes for it seeing as every dry skin beauty youtuber has raved about it.. but it instantly made my foundation crack and cake-up and look like a desert on my face lol. Has anyone else experienced this? A powder though that is totally under-rated and no one knows about, is the Cinema Secrets translucent powder! It's magic.. it fills in all my pores and makes my skin look air-brushesd and the tiniest bit goes the longest way.. would love to hear your thoughts on it!
This is soooo helpful!!! I hated Laura mercier so much and I’ve been scared to try a powder ever since. It made my undereye feel uncomfortably dry and made them crease more and look like I had wrinkles... can’t wait to try these.
I just recently bought the small size of that Laura Mercier powder. I think maybe you hit the nail on the head of how I was feeling about it? I wasn't blown away as I thiught I'd be. From the sounds of what you showed, I think I may like that "un powder" from RMS..Tnx for the recommendation..
I love the CT powder. ❤ I also use MAC Mineralize to set my foundation.
Which one do you prefer more for under eyes? :)
I am a big powder fan. I have combo skin so I love to set my makeup but I also have dry patches EVERYWHERE. I am OBSESSED with the CT powder. it is so beautiful. and the bare minerals powder too! essence has a pressed translucent powder that I think is great for the price.
Oh! I hate the Laura Mercier Translucent powder as well! Although to be fair, I have super dry skin as well. Maybe it just doesn't work for dry skin. Nars loose powder one is not bad, but I just don't like how matte it is after applying it. The only one that works for me so far, is the Make Up Forever one. I will try the Hourglass one just like you said, sometimes the dry skin just want some glow. LOL
The quality and sharpness of this video is perfection. Every other UA-camr should take note.
You inspired me to finally order the RCMA no Colour Powder off BeautyLish -- I'm so excited to try it!! 😁😁
Thank you for this!! I hope you consider doing a bad 5, good 5 video for bronzers because I want a really good high end one!
I actually love the NARS pressed powder to set my undereye concealer and I'm 37 so there ARE fine lines there. The fact that seemingly nothing comes off is the magic. The small amount that comes off is just enough to settle that concealer without getting in those fine lines. Maybe your skin is still too youthful to truly appreciate what it does. :)
I subscribed to your channel a while back and have been on a UA-cam hiatus lately but coming back I love how your videos are still such high quality, informational and detailed
Jaime I hope you can do a review of organic foundations. I just started using the Vapour soft focus one and was quite blown away by how good it is. I'm hoping to try Kjaer Weis next but organic makeup can be so expensive so a review from someone I really trust would be awesome.
I know this may sound weird,but this is the perfect opportunity to ask lol. I would love an in depth setting powder video. My under eye is not that smooth, as I have approached 30 this year😣 I have to set, as my foundation will slide off,but I don't know how to 'properly'. I end up looking like a cake face. 😂😂 Honestly, I know it sounds so simple and I feel silly asking... But i haven't found a decent video focused on setting the face, the different ways, the different powders etc. ALSO--
Do you have all the new Tarte eyeshadow palletes?? I am having a hard time not buying all of them.😣😣 I have the Pro and Maneater, but I feel like I need the other couple that are out now too. The pro to go, andddd I cannot remember the names of the others.😂😂 I would love YOUR review on the palettes. Or a save your money and just go with the pro... lol. I am needy, I know. Loved this video. Love all your videos.😘 XO
Megan Lewis Wayne Goss just made a video about cake face and what to do to avoid it. I would take a look at it, he's pretty spectacular and knows his stuff!! 👍🏻😁 Hope you find it helpful.
Megan Lewis I would love to watch this too! I just turned 30 too 😢
Nikkia Joy has a lot of videos on things like this :)
Brianna Stanko could help you out, she's very knowledgeable on skin! Good luck
Megan Lewis - Wayne Goss has at least one video on setting your face.
I truly love watching your videos. I discovered you back when Kathleen gave you a shoutout, and I have been hooked ever since. You have so much knowledge about products and I just find all your videos so interesting and entertaining. Thank you for always making my day a bit better!
thank you so much girl!
hi jamie! you're always such a joy to watch. im reviewing for the bar exams and watching your videos is my break from studying = always worth it! much love from manila, philippines! :*
Love this video, the Bobbi Brown Sheer Pressed Powder is so good and probably nicer than the Nude Finish, definitely one to try from Bobbi B.
The rcma and Laura mercier clung on to all my dry patches. I can only use the it cosmetics, ambient lightening powders and the reserve your cabaña by wnw.
This video was very helpful! I also love your hair color so much! Although this is a makeup channel I would like to see a video of how you take care of your hair , you have the perfect shade of dark blonde!
I love the wet and wild photofocus powder for my dry skin it's so beautiful!!
This was so helpful! Thanks! I am getting the Hourglass setting powder! 💜
I hope you love it!!
Have you tried Mac Careblend ? It doesn't have a dry texfure at all for a compact powder because of the oils and shea butter in it ! It really is beautiful for dry skin !
I felt the same about the Laura Mercier powder. I tried it for a like a week cause I wanted to love it but it made my face look so dry and clung on to all my dry patches. I returned it. I now have the Cover FX setting powder and I'm impressed. I must try the RMCA powder.
Love the RCMA no color powder...Love the Charlotte as well. I have the Kat Von D on deck to try...thanks for the video!
I have very dry skin and these are the drugstore powders that work for me -- NYX No Filter Finishing Powder, Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Face Powder, and No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder.
you should try macs mineralized skinfinish natural! I have it with super dry and textured skin and i love it, it looks so natural
Today I decided to give my Laura mercier powder one last try...was sitting here looking at weird balls of foundation and powder separation when I found your video! Glad it’s not just me!
I so wanted to get the Charlotte Tilbury powder but it has almond oil in it (I have a nut allergy). I really have been enjoying the Laura Mercier Candleglow powder on my dry skin.
I've currently been using the By Terry Hydra Powder which I'm loving. Another of my favourites is the Bourjois Healthy Balance powder, my only problem with it is that it is too dark for me even in the lightest shade. I definitely want to try your recommendations next.
Great video Jamie! The Bobbi Brown powder did the same thing on my face, not sure why they put soooo much glitter in this product! I was curious to know your thoughts on the Laura Mercier Candleglow powder which is similar to the Hourglass Ambient powder?
I have the the loose version of the nars power and I love it, I have dry skin and use this powder all year round. It leaves the most airbrushed finish, makes my makeup last all day, and products lay beautifully on top of it. I would definitely recommend trying the loose version :)!
I agree with everything, totally hate how the Laura mercier powder looks on my dry skin. you should try the It cosmetics bye bye pores loose powder, ITS AMAZING!
I really love the NARS crystal powder and I'm super dry. Take a spooly and scrape off the top layer before you use it!
I had the same issue with the NARS powder, but I'd seen reviews on it so I knew what to expect. I just took a bobby pin and scraped the top layer off and it's much better. It's become one of my favorite powders because it's so light on the skin.
I love my Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in Diffused Light and my Bobbi Brown pressed powder in Pale Yellow, but I only buy them during VIB sales. I have a few other powders that I don't reach for even though they are fine. I get that you find one (or two) you love and it's hard to pass it by for something else.
GIRL try the Cover FX Powder! Both the pressed and the loose but I personally love the pressed.
i was going to include the pressed one in this video, until it shattered all over me before filming lmfao
I have both the Laura mercier and the Kat von D and since I have really dry skin it left me cracked as well, I had given up on powder until I tried the Charlotte tilbury one 💗
Omg I thought I was the only one who didn't love the Laura mercier powder!!! I also have dry skin and I hate that powder!!! It clings to every dry patch!! And couldn't agree more about the hourglass ambient lighting powder n dim light. Love it 😍
I love it thank you! I have the NARS pressed powder and i actually like it! product doesn't come off a lot at first, but once you get past like the top layer, it should come off more! love you!!
Have you tried the Physicians Formula Youthful Wear powder? I love it! It doesn't cling to my dry patches!
