Other than the reliable lip and cheek tint, powder foundation is another item we feel is ~essential~ in our daily kikay kits. Not only can it provide your face more coverage, but it can also keep your skin shine-free and blur large pores. It's also a welcome alternative if you find liquid bases too heavy, sticky, or greasy for your liking. A powder foundation's compact form also makes it easier to retouch your makeup no matter where you are as it can fit even the slimmest and tiniest of purses!
That said, we rounded up the best powder foundations for all budgets, so you will never have to wonder if you need to reach for yet another oil blotting sheet. Keep on scrolling for your next go-to compact:
