Hi,
As the title really, ideally a talc free, organic pressed face powder - I need it to be REALLY fair though! I can't seem to get one that's all of those or that will deliver to the UK. I want something sheer just for touch ups through the day.
Thanks! |

| I can only think of the loose powder: Jurlique Silk dusts. |

Thaks Rosebud - I have used the dusts but they aen't very practical for carrying around!LOL! I cannot believe that I can't find a pressed powder thats a pale colour and not full of talc and other nasties! Surely I can't be the only one looking for such a product?
I've tried carrying loose powder and what ever the container it always seems to get all over the inside of my bag/purse. Very irritating.
The quest continues..............  |

I 2nd Rosebud’s recommendation for the Jurlique Silk Dusts, and I think I have a solution for you regarding the “mobility” issue:
I bought a refillable powder compact from Bare Essentials (it’s supposed to be used to cart around the loose mineral foundation or their “Mineral Veil”) that I use to carry some of my beloved Rose Silk Dust with me.
The compact is tightly sealed so nothing spills out and – as “backup protection” – also comes with a small zippered pouch in which to keep the compact to ensure there is no chance of making a mess in your makeup or handbag.
Here’s a link to the compact from Sephora so you can see what I’m talking about: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P61031&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5737
I tried very hard to find a similar compact because I wasn’t keen on spending $25 for it, but was never able to find any other compact for carrying loose powders. I finally gave in and spend the money for it and haven’t regretted it! Sometimes you can find the BE refillable compact for much less on Ebay so you might want to have a look. |

| Lucia, I know it's been a while since you posted... But I was wondering whether you found what you were looking for? I need exactly the same: a translucent powder for touch-ups that I could carry in my purse.... Thank you! |

I might just have to pay 25 dollars for this thing. I would love to be able to carry around my Jurlique Silk Dust. |

Never used these  But it might be a nice alternative to a powder, if it really can make my T-zone less shiny (even in hot weather) without adding make-up... thank you for your advice! |

| I don't know if JI is organic but I have to say that I do like the pressed powder foundation. I use this as powder not foundation and I like the coverage that it gives. And it's talc free at least. |

I use them b/c I dislike adding makeup through out the day (organic or not), they wisk oil away and wont smudge or ruin your existing makeup!
Clean & Clear is the best I have ever used, you can get 50 for about $5USD.

If your planning on trying the bloting paper these are the ones I try ...
-Anna Sui, these are the best one but I can find them in Quebec so I got to make a 3hrs trip to get them
-Proactiv, pretty good and you get a lot for the price
-Shiseido, not bad but to much powder on them
-Clen & Clear, Clinique ,MAC, all the same plastic texture..I dont feel the bloting as much and I dont like to spread plastic all over my face it feel weird.
Hope that will help ! |

I use Clean and Clear blotting paper too. Its the most reasonable priced and it does a good job at keeping shine at bay  |

You don't have to spend $25 for the BE container - Sephora sells one for $4 - I use this one for my purse, comes in handy, has never spilled...
