    I have very oily skin, so been trying to find something to control the oil past midday. I must say I am pretty impressed! It's great at setting foundation, I thought it would come out chalky on my...

    MAC Prep+Prime Transparet finishing powder is darn fantastic, not only does it set foundation but is ideal for shine control and gives makeup lasting power. Agreed it can be a tad messy and...

    Wonderful product for keeping my oily T-zone at bay! I like the packaging and the fact that a little bit of the product goes a long way. I have used this over foundation and it has worked well....

    This product works well for me. I simply use it to mattify those oily looking patches you get after applying foundation. The only problem would be how the powder flys everywhere! Even if you are so...

    I'll probably buy this again just because of how well it sets my makeup, but man I hate the packaging. I've lost powder a few times now just because of the sifter's giant holes -- if they were...

    I quite like this product. I use it over my liquid foundation and find that it does help it last longer. It has a nice finish and it seems to "smooth" my skin out.

    I love it when it goes on, but because i get oily in my t-zone, i end up having a very shiny nose a couple of hours. Is it because I don't use a Kabuki brush? Or does that not matter? I use it...

    been using this product for a few weeks now, it does a very good job at keeping my oiliness away. I was suprised as I dont really like MAC face stuff. But I would recommend this for oily skin.
