    Love this loose powder so much!! Perfectly sets my make-up without making my complexion look cakey, dry, or flat. Helps control my oily t-zone and doesn't clog my pores. Definitely worth the money...

    This is a fabulous setting powder. I use it over my tinted moisturizer and sometimes over regular moisturizer. It makes my pores look less noticeable from a distance, skin appear and feel softer,...

    I LOVE this powder. I used to use MUFE HD powder, but it was getting too expensive for me. MUFE is silkier in texture compared to Prep+Prime, but I find that Prep+Prime keeps me matte longer and...

    I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to Make Up For Ever's HD powder which is 100% silica but at $40 it was just too pricey. I read about this on MUA and because MAC gets so much love and...

    HG! I really do not like powder at all as I have dry skin and it looks cakey. The only powder I had was LM translucent, which was OKish, but not amazing. Well, MAC did the miracle. The Prep + Prime...

    This product is just PHENOMENAL! If you're eyeing for a glowing no-makeup look this is the best setting powder to dab on. I use this to either set my TM or dab on my fresh clean face when in a...

    This is an excellent setting powder if you are very oily. It is completely translucent, doesn't leave a white cast, doesn't settle in lines, minimizes pores, a little goes a very long way, and...

    i have this. its pretty good, i just wish that the packaging wasn't so small. I always feel like i should buy two at once with this powder incase i run out. but it does the job well.

    This isn't a bad product per-say, but it wasn't that great for me. I was hoping it would help keep my oils at bay a little longer, but it didn't. Usually the powders that use starches to absorb...
