    To start off, I think that this powder is very comparable to MUFE's HD Powder. Both actually yield the same results for roughly the same cost. <br> [ PROS ] - keeps my face matte for up to a max...

    MAC Prep & Prime "Transparent" Finishing Powder is an EXCELLENT setting powder. It is finely milled and does NOT leave a "white" cast. It melts into you skin and leave a beautiful "glowy/natural"...

    Brilliant product, I am on my second. The sifter allows too mush powder through and it is messy but I put some sticky tape over the sifter and poked fewer holes in it. It sets my foundation without...

    This to me is exactly like the MUFE HD finishing powder. Same texture and everything but less money. I don't care for either really as I prefer a traditional setting powder with colour. Those who...

    This is a very good product that does what it is supposed to do (nothing more and nothing else): set liquid foundation without changing the color. It is also silky smooth and easy to apply and blend.

    Amazing. The light-as-air consistency of the product doesn't cake, doesn't add any unnecessary colour to the skin and doesn't distort the colour of foundation. Even if one doesn't use foundation...
