  Powdery can cover a wide range of looks based upon granularity, reflectivity, translucence and what kind of figure it was being applied to.  If you're talking about something like flour lying on a table, for example, then some of the shaders in the recent PC+ Plaster shader set https://www.daz3d.com/plaster-iray-shaders would probably work well if the specularity was toned down and the textures shrunk down so that they look extremely fine instead of a rough surface.  Some of these https://www.daz3d.com/plaster-and-concrete--iray-shaders or https://www.daz3d.com/ground-shaders-for-daz-studio would also probably work, but the PC+ one has the obvious advantage of being a lot cheaper..
