I have been searching for a good cover-up for years. It's hard to find something that doesn't make you look too cakey. After nearly a decade of searching for the perfect formula, I finally discovered the solution. This L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Powder ($10) is everything I want and more. It currently has almost 250 reviews on the site and 60 percent of users give it five stars. I personally love it so much that I keep one in each purse.

So what makes this stuff so magical? The pressed powder absorbs excess oil and reduces shine on the skin's surface all day long. I am very fair so I use the shade 100 Porcelain. I love how pigmented the formula is; my zits and redness disappear with just one swipe. I use a brush to apply the cover-up, but the little sponge the product comes with works great as well. The powder does its job without making me look like I have an inch of face makeup on: it's the perfect consistency.

If you're on the hunt for a new powder, I'm telling you to give this one a try. With a price so affordable, it's hardly a risk. Add it to your cart ASAP!
