Matting Powder Fit Me! ideal if you have oily skin, because it does not clog pores and lays down in a very thin layer. Thanks to the technology with the mineral perlite, the product controls oily sheen.

Alika Zhukova, beauty editor:

Pros: I have combination skin, so the T-zone starts to shine unattractively by the middle of the day. Therefore, I really like to test matting powders. After application, I checked almost every hour whether the effect lasted or not, I can honestly say that the powder protects against oily sheen for half a day.

Cons: did not find.

Pros: Urban Decay is famous for its high quality decorative cosmetics. All Nighter powder is no exception. Fits well, lasts a long time and really hides skin imperfections. And what a cool bottle – the decoration of any photo on Instagram of a fashionista.

Cons: perhaps the only one and is indirectly related to the powder itself. There is no brush or sponge in the package to apply, so I won’t be able to carry this beauty in my purse.

Powder Pressed Powder All skin Types, STELLARY, 349 rubles

Ksenia Malaya, editor:

Pros: at first glance, a very compact and comfortable powder, fits into any purse. It is applied very easily, does not crumble. I love to make my face look as natural as possible, and this powder is perfect for this task.

Cons: I really do not have enough sponge for applying powder. During the day, you have to apply it again, since the effect disappears after 4-5 hours.

Duet: blush and bronzing powder “Book of the sun. Chapter 2 “, Smith & Cult, 4320 rubles

The palette has two shades: a brown bronzer for correcting the oval of the face and a blush with a calm pink tint.

Olga Safonova, Deputy Chief Editor:

Pros: after the vacation, I have a fairly dark, tanned skin, and I needed a product that would accentuate the shade and make the skin matte. The tool did an excellent job with these tasks. I put a little bronzer on the cheekbones to emphasize the oval, for lighter skin, of course, it would not work. Cool pink as a blush on tanned skin also looks great.

Cons: it holds and is applied well, and I always want to have it at hand, but there is no brush in the case, which is a small, but still a minus for me.

Persistent powder “Matting and comfort” Infaillible, L’Oreal Paris, 700 rubles

Powder designed to protect women of any skin type from excess shine. Thanks to its soft texture, the product is easy to distribute over the entire face and hide imperfections, and the caring components will help the skin breathe and will not let it dry out.

Elena Karlina, star editor:

Pros: Firstly, the powder is much more comfortable than it seems. A mirror and a great sponge are hidden under the refill, which can be folded back. Secondly, the texture is really soft – the powder is easy to lay down in an even layer. I think that it may well replace the foundation.

Cons: after all, matting for 24 hours is closer to the inscription on the packaging than to reality. On the other hand, for me personally, it’s just a pleasure to take out the case with powder every few hours and correct my makeup. Moreover, for five or six hours, she easily holds on.
