For my money, the best face powder (which I use exclusively, I don't use foundation at all) is Coty Airspun, which is a classic. Been on the market for over a hundred years, still in the same hatbox-shaped art deco packaging. It's perfect.
My grandmother used that. When she passed away we found boxes and boxes of it so she must have looooved it. (She used the old fashioned powder puffs to apply it.)

What made you switch? How do you like the mineral make up?
I'm still in researching mode. I'm not a big fan of even the idea of wearing makeup, but as I'll be working within the next year or so I know that my future employer will most likely expect a professional polished appearance, and unfortunately makeup seems to be a part of that uniform.
I totally agree with the Coty AS. I have several.containers of the old hat box version, need to go pick up the new plastic containers.

@haggardhouseelf- I switched because a pressed mineral make up looks more natural lasts longer and is better for acne prone skin . I used to do liquid estee lauder foundation and coty airspun powder to set. I loved lancome powder but it got expensive. Coty is really good,though esp the transluscent.
If you don't really need coverage though,just a matte finish, then a bit of concealer and Coty Airspun would be perfect for you. I need coverage for my hyperpigmentation. I like that mineral makeup can be applied very light all over except for my cheeks where I have sun spots and darkened acne spots so I build coverage there.
the (coty airspun)boxes are very Art Deco. I have a pot of Seven powder from target which I bought awhile back beacuse I liked the black oval shape with 7 on it. as good as Coty but more expensive.
