i love pressed powders. for me they are less messy and i like that way you can take them everywhere. now i need one that will give some coverage like a foundation. so what are some pressed powders that give good coverage and are pretty cheap and you can find them at like walmart or Target ect. and i would like it to give a matte look. but it doesn't have to be matte. and it cant CAN NOT be a pressed powder that goes over your foundation to make it stay,like a mineral veil. i want the pressed pressed powder to BE my foundation! so what are some good ones that are cheap and you can find at drug stores?

My favourite is Cornsilk, Natural Matte, by Sally Hansen. I find it at my local Walmart and also at my local Ulta. The product is being fazed out under the Cornsilk brand. Sally Hansen is renaming it "Sally Hansen Natural Beauty". But you might still find the original Cornsilk in the stores.
What's the difference between powder foundation and pressed powder?

Answer :————————
Pressed powder refers to powder for oil-control and it's also used for setting makeup. It has little pigmentation (usually translucent, but some have a little pigmentation to blend better with skin color) and are sort of the 'cake' version of loose powder (which is also used to control shine and to set makeup). So it is basically an alternative to blotting sheets and also a more travel-friendly form of loose powder (if loose powder spills it would cause a huge mess).
Powder foundation meanwhile refers to base makeup. This means it has more pigmentation and it's for evening out skintone. They may look similar to pressed powders sometimes but you can tell it's a foundation because of the higher pigmentation. There are several types of powder foundation like 2 way cake, mineral foundation etc. (not to confuse you but it is also ok to use powder foundation to set makeup but it's not used for shine-control)
So when you apply powder foundation, you're going to see a difference to your skintone – maybe less redness or minor blemishes get covered up.With pressed powder it sinks into your skin and gives a shine-free look without altering your skin blemishes too much.
Is pressed power a foundation or?

is pressed powder a foundation that covers up blemishes even skin tone and stuff like that,or powder that goes OVER foundation like a mineral veil? if it is a foundation that cover, plz tell me some good ones
Answer :————————
You did not mention if it is a translucent loose pressed powder, or a pressed powder. Now, translucent powder is definitely not a foundation. It is used to set your liquid or creme foundation to help it look more natural. The pressed powder can be used separate (if you have great skin) or it is used on top of foundation to add a little more coverage.
If you want a powder foundation that will cover your blemishes without having to use a separate foundation under it. Try a mineral foundation. Though, you will need to apply more to get the desired coverage.
Which pressed powder is the overall best?

At matching skin tone
Controlling shine
Doesn't dry out skin
and covers imperfections…
I like Loreal True Match but it actually makes my skin oilier…
And Neutrogena dries out my skin and doesn't match my skin color.
