3 Best Compact High End Translucent Powders of 2023 That Give You Lasting Matte Invisible Coverage

If you are looking for the best new powders on the market to give you invisible yet strong coverage along with a matte effect that lasts all that, then you should definitely try one of these amazing powders. We tried many powders on the market and came up with a top 3 of the very best only.

NARS Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder

Everything about the name of this powder is true. The NARS Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder is fairly new on the market and it is indeed soft, matte, advanced and perfecting. This powder offers mild coverage of imperfection on top of foundation, creating a perfect finish. It takes away any color differences that may shine through foundation and it hides all presence of pores, leaving you with perfect looking matte skin. Compared to drugstore powder, there is no veil of powder visible, let alone tidemarks or caking. The powder adheres to foundation like a perfect layer that doesn't budge. We tried the shade 'Cove' which is a gorgeous neutral to warm light shade that counteracts with any undesired undertone in our skin. The only downside is that the compact does not have any room for an applicator. It does come with a mirror for easy application on the go.

Givenchy Prisme Libre Pressed Powder

The Givenchy Prisme Libre Pressed Powder is the second favourite on our list, as it sets and protects makeup by absorbing excess sebum and humidity. It provides us with buildable, sheer-to-medium coverage and a second-skin effect, 24-hour matte wear and shine control. It immediately blurs imperfections and evens skin tone. Again a beautiful translucent shade that offers just enough coverage thanks to the pigments. The finish is matte yet luminous. The only downside of this powder is the quantity, which seems bit low to us. The packaging is stunning and more practicle than the classic loose powder cubes by Givenchy, and the powder comes in many beautiful shades to flatter all skin tones.

Laura Mercier Real Flawless Pressed Powder

Laura Mercier Shine Control Pressed Powder was our favourite for the longest time until it started to become discontinued and become replaced with the Real Flawfless Pressed Powder. Luckily, the new edition works just as good as their previous powder. The only difference is that the finish is less matte and has a sheen to it, which gives the powder an even more life-like effect. Laura Mercier's powders are top notch because they offer coverage while staying invisible, set everything while not creasing despite any facial expression, come in beautiful neutral shades and last all day while providing perfect oil absorbtion that does not ask often for touch-ups, leaving less product on the face to be able to cake. A dream come true! This powder comes in many beautiful neutral to warm tones which cancel out greys, greens, blues, reds and purples in the face, which is brilliant. It instantly brightens the complexion and makes you look younger instead of older. There is room for an applicator in the bottom case and its made of a slightly rougher textile, so we replaced it with a soft Dior applicator.
