    I bought this recently because I was going on a trip and I didn't want to carry my Laura Mercier loose powder around. I definitely like this product A LOT more than my LM loose powder. As a matter...

    I have had this product in both the loose and pressed powder versions. I like the pressed version better because it works the same and is less messy. I also think you lose less product this way,...

    I have used and tried a lot of finishing powders and this is my absolute favourite. This stuff mattifies my skin without making my make-up look and feel heavy. I don't have really oily skin, so I...

    This powder is pretty good at controlling the oil on my face. The only problem I have with this powder is the fact that you really need to blend it into your face other wise you look super caky.

    Prep+Prime Pressed is very finely milled, with a beautiful texture in the pan. Unfortunately, I found it less-than-beautiful on my face. It is matte, and does a decent job of taking the shine off...

    I bought this after reading good reviews about how it minimises the look of pores and keeps skin matt. After using it I'm a bit disappointed. I still get an oily t-zone and pores are reduced but...

    I have this in pressed and loose, so I feel that i'm pretty good to do a review about this. This powder is transparent, but at the same time when you apply this on to your face, it goes kinda ashy...

    I really love this product. I use a thin puff to apply it and then use a fluffy powder brush to knockoff the excess. It doesn't leave me too ghost-y looking and it makes my foundation stay all...

    I have tried MANY MANY finishing powders, and this is by FAR the best I have ever used. For reference, I am lighter than most MAC foundations, and have only been able to use MatchMaster in 1.0. I...
