This powder is probably one of the most hyped beauty products of the last few years, and I never buy into the hype immediately so I was definitely late to try it out. I have combination/oily skin,...

I've tried every type of setting powder out there but nothing compares to this. It sets makeup beautifully without caking or settling into fine lines. It doesn't dry my skin out and gives a matte...

I love this powder, but it doesn't do everything I wish it would. Don't get me wrong though - for what it does do, it's amazing! Pros: It sets my foundation on my t-zone perfectly. Keeps oil away...
