    I was sick of my powder being darker than my foundation (even after countless times of being colour matched) and I was also sick of my make up looking cakey so I thought I'd give this a go and I...

    I bought this as an alternative to loose powder because I'm sick of the mess I make with loose powders- I'm just too clumsy! I have dry skin so wanted something lightweight to set my concealer...

    This is NOTHING like the amazing loose version, which I hoped it would be, only in a pressed (more travel friendly) version. It leaves a strange WHITE CAST on the face and also has very limited...

    This isn't perfect but because it keeps my oily face at bay like no other, I just have to give it a 5. Since I got the pressed, I can keep it in my bag for touch-ups which I hardly ever need....

    I typically stick with silica powder. I was given a good sum of money to spend at MAC so I grabbed this. I thought it'd be good for touch ups on the go. I have had this for a while and still...

    I'm a tad disappointed... It's just an ok product. I feel like the texture is on the dry side, the staying power is not good and my t-zone is oily after noon. However the packaging is very sleek...

    I never tried the loose version (too messy for me) but have read so many positive reviews about it. Of course I had to try the pressed version. Well, I'm a bit underwhelmed. First of all there's...

    Doesn't do much for me to be honest. Its just like other pressed powders with no extra staying powder. I also find that it leaves a white grayish cast on my face if I apply too much after blotting...

    I did not like this product. I applied it after my foundation to set it. If you need to touch anything up on your face it gets all clumpy and cakey from the powder. would not buy again.

    A great mobile alternative to the loose power. If you can afford buying both, get both. I would not recommend the pressed formulation to be used at home. Loose power is better in the sense of...
