Hi loves! Not all powders are created equal—and if you have oily skin, you already know that firsthand.

Between loose, pressed, and powder foundations, each formula serves a different purpose. For my oily skin, I need powders that feel lightweight but work overtime to control shine and keep my makeup in place. These are my absolute go-to powders that never let me down.

1. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder

This powder is a staple in my routine for a reason. It’s finely milled, super lightweight, and amazing at controlling oil without making the skin look dry or cakey. I love using it to set my under eyes and T-zone—it locks everything in and gives a smooth, blurred finish. My makeup stays fresh for hours, even on my oiliest days. It’s perfect if you want a matte look that still feels natural on the skin.

2. Too Faced Born This Way Pressed Powder

This pressed powder is my go-to for touch-ups throughout the day. It adds coverage while setting the skin, which makes it perfect if you want a little extra smoothing without layering on more foundation. It controls oil beautifully while still keeping the skin looking like skin—not flat or heavy. I love how easy it is to throw in my bag and use whenever shine starts peeking through.

3. L’Oréal Infallible Powder

This one is a powerhouse, especially if you deal with serious oil. It offers more coverage than a traditional setting powder and works great as a foundation powder on its own or on top of liquid foundation. It keeps my oils under control for hours and gives a soft matte finish that lasts.

If you have oily skin, finding the right powder can completely change how your makeup wears throughout the day. Each of these powders serves a different purpose, and together they cover all bases—from setting and baking to touch-ups and extra coverage. With the right powder, shine doesn’t stand a chance
