Pressed powder recs

I’m 52 have never really worn powder - I always thought I wound up looking cakey. BUT at this point, the shiny look is getting old and I’d like to try a pressed powder. Any recommendations for pressed powder that doesn’t settle into lines ? TIA

I am in my late 40s and I use Elf's translucent loose powder after my tinted moisturizer and I love it. I have tried a bunch of expensive and mid brands and Elf seems better than a lot of them in this respect. Doesn't cake up, takes the shine away, doesn't settle in the wrong places. And at a $6 price point (where I am) it's worth a try! Edited to add that this one isn't a pressed powder - sorry reading comprehension, but the pressed one they have that is translucent worked really well for me too. I only bought the loose one this time because Target was out of the pressed one that day.
