What are the best finishing/setting powders?

Pros

Pro
Enhances the longevity of base products

Sets foundations/concealers/whatever to hold them in place and prevent migration or wearing off

Pro
Blurs pores and imperfections

Visibly reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines and uneven texture

Pro
Suitable for all skin types, especially oily skin

Oil-free formula and French "cashmere talc" help to set makeup and control oil and shine

Pro
Ideal for special occasions and flash photography

Has no silica or SPF in it so it won't produce flashback or white cast under flash photography

Cons

Con
Not ideal for under-eye area

This powder isn't as fine as some other setting powders (eg. rouge bunny rouge or anything with a silica base really) so it can settle into fine lines under the eye or at least be a bit more apparent - this will vary with skin type and prominence of fine lines
