Being an oily skinned girl, setting my base makeup with a powder is a must for me. I love the convenience of pressed powders. So handy and portable, they make for easy touch ups.

If you're looking for a budget pressed powder, I've got three options for you:

1) L’Oréal Mat Magique All In One Matte Transforming Powder: (Rs. 399)
If you're looking for a COMPLETELY matte finish, opt for this offering from L’Oréal. It blurs pores and absorbs oil in a jiffy. I wouldn't recommend this for dry skinned ladies though, as it may accentuate dry patches. Just a warning: apply this powder with a light hand as heavy applications may end up in a cake face.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder: (Rs. 250) 

A HUGE favorite in the beauty blogosphere, Rimmel Stay Matte is one of my all time favorites. It gives a slight coverage, hours of oil control and is easy on the pocket too! The only con is its flimsy packaging AND its accessibility (it is almost always sold out on Indian beauty shopping sites like Nykaa.com)

3) Maybelline White Superfresh Compact: (Rs. 150)
The least expensive and lightest packaging of the lot, this one is a hit from Maybelline New York. Available in three shades, it has a light coverage. It blurs my open pores and gives pretty great oil control. Out of the three powders in this post, this one is my favorite. For the price, shade selection (YELLOW undertones!!!) and performance, you can't get any better than this!

Which is your favorite pressed powder? Any recommendations?
