With all these powders, be careful not to pile it on in too many layers, because, after all, these are powders, and layered powders get cakey. This one can also be used in a thin layer on its own for an easy, fresh base.

The Best Affordable Powders

This NYX HD Finishing Powder ($9.99) is a silky pressed powder with a matte finish that’ll soften the lines and pores on your face. It also comes in color-correcting shades, like banana for brightening and mint green for redness, if you prefer a soft color-correcting treatment. 

The ELF High Definition Powder ($6) sets your makeup while keeping your face feeling light at an amazing price point. However, the formula and color of this powder means it’ll likely work best for those of you with oily, fair skin. Give it a try! For $6, why not?

And last but certainly not least, the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder ($5.99) is a favorite of many Youtube gurus and affordable makeup lovers. Its “spun” technique makes the powder extremely finely milled and very soft for your skin. With a velvety finish and a long-lasting formula, you just can’t go wrong with this hugely popular affordable powder. 

Do keep in mind that it’s scented, but the scent reportedly fades after a while. For the amount and quality of product you get, this price is incredible.

That’s it!
