    If in doubt as to what colour of powder you need, use this powder. It’s white in the pot but goes on transparent so you don’t get any blotchiness. No amount will make you look chalky – it’s...

    I've been trying to decide between this & the one made by MUFE. After watching several YT videos & looking at the reviews on here, I decided to try MAC's version. The packaging is wider so, the...

    This is my HG face powder. The powder is so finely milled, it's really undetectable. Does what it's suppose to do & sets my makeup while keeping in place all day. I packed my other setting powders...

    I was disappointed in this product... I heard it would deflect light and give your skin an even look... even prevent oil..... but i tried a tiny bit and all it did was make my skin look extreamly...

    We got this product in my makeup course. When I put it over my eyeshadow and my mac fluidline it makes my eye makeup (on my hooded eyes) stay in place.

    I was debating over the MUFE HD powder or the Laura Mercier powder, but i'm so glad i went for this one. It really does go on translucent and doesn't leave a white cast on my face, in real life or...

    My pores are HUGE and this makes them look so much smaller. For that purpose alone it gets 5 stars. It is truly transparent on my dark skin. I also like the finish and the texture of this product....

    Wanted to love this product. The powder still looked a little white on me, which made me look super pale. It also gave me a cakey look on my face. Will stick to MAC Blot Powder!

    The corn starch broke me out and the powder looked unflattering on my skin. Not for me.
