I thought this was nice as a setting powder until I saw how it looked in pictures- it made me look ghostly. I like the way it makes my skin feel to the touch and it controlled my oil well. I may...

I live by this stuff. I'm an oily mess without it. I bought a huge bag for 20 bucks at coastal scents. The only thing is, its super messy and smokey so I'd try not to inhale. I put it in my bare...
