I'm trying to decide between

Jane Iredale's matte finishing powder,

Afterglow Cosmetics setting powder,

and
Tarte's Clay Smooth Operator powder...

I am very pale (so it must really be translucent, NO tint and NO white 'chalkiness' either.) Also must be talc-free. ( I hate a 'cake-y' feel, so it has to be very light.)

My skin is super oily and I do not wear foundation or bronzer. I just want a light, translucent powder to reduce shine and mattify my t-zone (without clogging pores).

Please let me know which (out of these three) you'd most recommend. Thanks!

P.S. - Has anyone tried Alimapure cosmetics?
(esp face powders and blushes?)

Mary kay's is good- I know it's not on your list, but it's won awards and I believe it will fit the bill!

Jane Iredale matte finishing powder. I used the line a few years ago due to major medical issue and it did not irritate my super sensitive skin at the time. Did you also look at RMS Un Powder (the only ingredient is silica which is super finely milled)? I believe that RMS is a cruelty free brand as well as I know that is important to you. BL sells it too.
