Back to School Must Have Pressed Powder (For med/dark asians)

I'm not the type who cakes on makeup or even wear makeup regularly; but i have recently (yes i'm a late fashionista :P) found some pretty nice products that can help bring a that bright but natural glow to a normal/dull face :)

1) M.A.C Blot Pressed Powder.
   The name says it all! This M.A.C BPP is wonderful! It is a pressed powder that comes in 5 shades (in my case i used Medium Dark). Although there are different shades, they actually give you more of a translucent look! So don't worry if they don't have your shade (just pick the next lightest shade for your face) Reason why you should/shouldn't choose this product:
PROS
-It gives a matte finishing look
-blots and stops oil
-feels light and barely there!
-sets any makeup/foundation :)
-does not clog pores
CONS
-it's semi expensive
    If you're the type who has oily or acne prone face, this is a MUST HAVE! I bought this for $29. It might seem expensive but compared to CoverGirl, Maybelline Dream Matte or Sephora's UD Mattifying Powder (which i've tried and felt too chalky, breaks apart easily, OVERPRICED) This would be one of my favourite loveable powders!
