    This minimizes pores, sucks out every bit of oil, keeps a matte finish on my face all day long, and is transparent. It really does make my foundation and concealer last much longer than it...

    I love this product! I use it over my face and body foundation to remove some of the shine, and it still looks natural. However, its not the kind of product I can take 'on the go' with me as it...

    HG setting powder for me. Very finely milled, completely translucent finishing powder. I have a moderately oily T-zone and this keeps it under control and shine free. Doesn't emphasize pores (not...

    Pros: -It looks very natural -It conceals pores quite well -No extra coverage, which makes makeup look very natural Cons: -It smells unpleasant -Lasting power (until my face is oily)...

    I really like this powder - not love, but really like. It doesn't break me out (I have sensitive skin), it's not too cakey on my dry-ish skin, and it's perfect for when you don't want to use a...
