This is a great powder, not excellent but great. The skin feels "breathable" but still keeps matt during the day.

This is an ok powder but I found it very drying.

I prefer Becca's loose setting powder as it doesn't make my foundation cake and isn't drying like this one.

I am not a big fan of loose powder and I have to say it is quite mediocre in terms of consistency. It (#01 transparent) looks quite dark on my yellow Asian skin tone and it takes forever to use up.
