I've tried the Balancing Dust and regular Finishing Dust, and by far this is the best. I use the tinted version in the lightest color, applied with the new spongey applicator - goes on great and...

This gives my face a nice, even finish on top of my semi-matte foundation. It keeps shine at bay most of the day, but it does leave a whitish cast. I have very fair skin, so it's not really...

I much prefer this to the Finishing Dust, which tended to be a little cakey on me by the end of the day. The Silk Dust gives me a very even look, and really minimizes the look of my pores when...

This is the best finishing powder I've ever used. Hands down. Not only is it 100% silk powder, which means NO CORNSTARCH, but it disappeared on top of my foundation and set it really well. No oily...

I love EM products and enjoy trying all colors and formulations. I love the finishing dust and was excited to try this, but I too found that it actually made me greasy and did not rest on my...

One of the best powders I've ever used. It kills any shine I have on my face, and keeps oil at bay all day. I have yet to need a touch up while wearing it, which is the best endorsement I can think...

This is not great shine powder. It seems to draw the oil right out of my pores until I'm a shiny mess--highly unusual. I keep using it in hopes that something will change, but a couple of hours...

I haven't used this on top of my foundation, as I find EM regular Finishing Dust works best for that, however, as a primer it's fantastic! Pores disappear and oil is kept at bay for HOURS (I used...

This company makes my HG foundation (Original Glo) which is one of the few products out there suited for my sensitive, normal/oily (flaky on top in the Winter) and easily irritated skin! I used to...

This is very nice stuff. First, I tried Finishing dust, which is great -- beautiful finish. It held up well, except when I wear Original Glo -- I would tend to get a bit oily by the end of the...

I love this silk dust! Perfect setting/finishing powder. Goes on silky smooth and lasts all day. Gives an airbrushed/flawless look. No fillers such as cornstarch or irritating silicas. Will...

I switch this around with the Balancing Powder for days that I go out and use the Finishing Dust mainly at home since I don't need as much of the oil control. I agree that it does get pale and...

This product makes my skin look pale and white as a ghost. I really don't like the white cast after applying it even if I use a super light application.

Lovely stuff! No talc or cornstarch to irritate my skin, but keeps oil at bay. The finish is natural and not too matte. A great, inexpensive product. Plus, you can't beat the customer service...

Great stuff. Gives me a matte look and keeps extreme shine at bay almost all day w/out touching up. Doesn’t look shiny, cakey or feel funky like EM’s finishing dust (which is just cornstarch). I...

This product is much lighter in color than the balancing or finishing dusts, meaning it is basically a pure white. The EM site says it should work on every skintone, but I imagine that this would...
