    By far my favorite makeup setting powder. It's super fine so it doesn't get patchy. It's perfect for under eye and full face. Works great on top of a wide range of foundations and concealers.

    I don't really need to set my foundation since I go for a fresh, dewy, hydrated look, but I do need to set my under-eye concealer with a powder to prevent mascara smudges. My friend was gracious...

    I think this powder is above average, but for the price, it better be. I'm not usually a fan of loose powder (so messy!) but I'm suffering with this one until I use it up. I have the miniature...

    This is a great powder. I have the GLOW version. I love how fine the powder is, and I find it very flexible to work with. Agreed it can sometimes look cakey if I over do it, but then I found that a...

    I watched Goss Makeup Artist's video on why foundation may oxidize on your face, and one of the possible culprits could be, a coloured loose/setting powder. He carried on about how he always...

    It's good but you can go drugstore with the same results. Not much else to say... Very expensive though..

    This is a solid product and is definitely the best translucent setting powder I've used. If it is going to be a long, hot day, I use a big fluffy brush to apply a thin layer after primer but before...

    Not worth the money. I have oily, acne-prone skin and used to use loose setting powders from Armani and YSL (which were more expensive, but worth every penny). Well, both Armani and YSL decided...

    This is the best powder I have bought and have no regrets about paying that much for it. It has always made my skin look flawless. I wouldnt say the packaging however is ideal for travelling.
