I have just tried to order some 'Corn Silk' face powder and almost collapsed at seeing it on Amazon for £101 !! (My last purchase, about a year ago, was around £6.00.) Further enquiries revealed that it has been discontinued, although lots of people were saying they loved it and had used it for years. I have heard from the counter assistants in Boots that it is a favourite of make up artists and anyone doing wedding make up, because it is just so good and stays flawless all day. WHY do manufacturers do this? I will be lost without it - I have half a box left now; perhaps someone would be kind enough to recommend a good loose powder that doesn't go cakey, stay put all day and will not change colour. Help, ladies - I am desperate.

I have just re-read the OP. I thought you were moaning that it cost £10, but now I see the problem!

I've used Corn Silk for years, have just finished my last purchase, had no idea it was going off the shelves.

I'm another Bare Minerals fan and agree that there's a knack to using it for the best effect. Having first purchased it in a large department store, I now get it off QVC, especially when it's on a special offer price. A small pot lasts agesture and gives good coverage.

I have only once tried powder when very young and it made my skin feel tight and dry and transferred on to collars etc.
If I use make up now it's an all in one which I find more comfortable, but normally I just use a self tan.
