    Mattifying, but not in a way that will take away from the glow of your foundation. Keeps an excess oil at bay, smooths out your face and makes it feel smooth and lovely. Truly transparent, don't...

    This is a very good product. It makes my face look poreless and very very natural. It sets the foundation beautifuly, blending everything and making it last a very long time. The packaging annoys...

    Despite some outstanding reviews, this product just didn't do it for me. I was really hoping for it to take my "keeping the oilies away" routine on a complete new level. Yes, it does undoubtedly...

    This product doesn't seem to do anything for me! Everytime I wear it ontop of my Bobbi Brown longlasting foundation it leaves chalky residue. It doesn't control oil or last very long. I keep trying...

    This is my HG powder. It's pricey (for me), at $22 USD for 9g of powder, but so worth it, as a little goes a long way and the product delivers what it promises. For reference, I am NW25, with...

    This product is great at making pores look smaller & giving your face that finishing look. It is defiantly matte so if you are looking for a dewy look to your skin pass on this. I use my bronzer...

    This product is OK...nothing special. I had high expectations based on the MA's praise of this product, but found it wasn't all that helpful setting my makeup on my oily skin.
