Lately I’ve been plagued by rashes, so I’m looking for a powder with a dense coverage that will cover it well. I hope these problems are temporary))) I would like a not expensive one (500-800 rubles), so that later I wouldn’t mind throwing it away :)

Thanks for the help!

Check out The Body Shop's All-In-One Face Base. It's around 700 rubles.

It masks well, but is not visible on the skin, if you choose the right shade, of course.

Doesn’t its density cause pimples?

Wild berry, can you tell me that it contains talc?

There is talc, and in first place (

damn, damn, damn. This is generally contraindicated for me =(( all the powders that were with talc (though the most common masses: Manhattan, bourgeois, etc.) dried out, and subsequently provoked a little pimples + were noticeable on the face. But with Artdekovskaya this is close no!! what do you think, should I try it or not?

If it is contraindicated, then it is better not to. Still, it’s not the cheapest powder, it’s a shame if it doesn’t cause a good reaction. You can’t take a sample for it (

It is not comedogenic. In general, all TBS powders do not cause inflammation or clogged pores (I had all of them except cream powder at different times). This powder can also be applied wet for more serious coverage, but I haven’t tried it.

They still have a decent amount of spread, and also have a matte finish.

It's lighter than the previous one. I first covered the whole face, and then applied a second layer to the remaining redness with a small fluffy brush. And the face is not powdered and the redness is masked.
