The Best Affordable Finishing Powder

I haven’t been doing much shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic aside from food (including bulk orders of my favorite salad dressing of all time), but when I saw the No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Translucent Finishing Powder at Target I was intrigued.

Do I have a lot of powders? Yes. Did I need another powder? No. Did I buy it anyways? Yes. Am I glad I did? Oh yes.

The No7 powder claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, even skin tone, and visibly smooth the skin leaving skin with an airbrushed appearance…and it does? I’ve used this a bunch since I’ve gotten it, and I love it. It never cakes up, and I do think it smooths the pores on my cheeks which are large and in charge (like me).

Not me.

I would say it reminds me a bit of Charlotte TIlbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder ($45) or the Giorgio Armani Neo Nude Fusion Powder ($64) but it’s lighter and more translucent than either. Not to mention the price differential!

Don’t wanna take my word for it? Well, rude. But you can also read the reviews on the No7 site (where, incidentally, they’re offering free shipping and free returns on all orders).

What do you think? Have you tried anything from No7 before?
