    I bought this from the baking aisle in my local supermarket, where it's sold for making sauces and clear glazes for fruit tarts etc. That was pretty cheap, but I imagine a big bag from a cash and...

    Rightly or wrongly, I have read that cornstarch might feed some bacteria due to its sucrose content so I tried arrowroot powder. I find this product very sheer but it matts foundations...
