Matte finish translucent powder

Hi, wondering if anyone can recommend a decent translucent powder for over liquid foundation? Have been using Rimmel stay matte powder for a while, but I have quite oily skin and it's usually shiny or patchy by mid afternoon, regardless of which foundation I have underneath. Tried the No7 one before that and wasn't a fan. I have a voucher so wouldn't mind getting a more expensive one if it does a decent job. Thanks!

Soap and Glory Kick Ass press powder is fantastic. Bought it as a stop gap til I got my usual one and haven't bought an expensive one since

This loose powder by Laura Mercier is meant to be amazing, never used it myself though. Its very expensive at €42 so might be worth seeing if you could get a sample before buying the full size cos it could be a costly mistake if you didn't like it or it didn't suit your skin etc.

Urban decay de-slick mattifying powder is really good. €24 in debenhams.

I haven't tried this one but I've tried the S&G One Heck of a Blot powder and really like it. If this powder is like a big size version of the one that comes with the Kick Ass Concealer then it's also a really good one!

I have that one too and it's really good, kick ass is better for mattifying though I think.

Really nice stuff. Think it's only €14 too!

Bourjois healthy balance powder. Cheap and cheerful.

Whatever you do, don't get the Loreal BB powder, it's AWFUL.

Thanks a million girls, a good few recommendations there. I tried the S&G One Heck of a Blot before and liked it, but it didn't last too well on me, so might try the other one...and maybe a few more depending on Boots and 3 for 2 offers!

The Essence All About Matte powder is meant to be really good - seen a number of bloggers/youtubers give it great reviews. Just bought it today and looking forward to trying it out. It's only €3.79 too.
