I use this everyday for school and I think it's just magical! When I pat it on to my skin it basically melts into my skin and it's finish is just gorgeously dewy and natural. It also has a bit of color and offers a slight coverage whenever I apply it with the puff, but most of the time I just use a blush brush to my tzone or for setting my concealer. It's perfect for those who doesn't have oily skin and doesn't need that much coverage, perfect for everyday use because it has a lot of "mineral" oils according to mac that provides the skin care and nourishment which I love! + I love the smell! The only thing that I don't like in this product is its packaging because the tiny puff doesn't have a compact case unlike the Studio Fix.

Probably my HG concealer for my dark under-eyes. It has a nice creamy texture that is very blendable, also the color is slightly salmon (w/c is good in correcting discoloration under the eyes). You just have to set it with a nice loose powder/pressed powder and will last for the day. Will definitely repurchase! I do not recommend this for pimples since it is PETROLEUM based and I heard that those that are oil based can cause more acne or can trigger acne, so I just use it under my eyes and thank god it works wonders!

Pros: Very cheap - costs like P500/10$ only Has a really nice texture, very powdery and not fake looking. Has a somewhat wide variety of shades to choose from. Cons: Actually hated this product because I use this to set my concealer (w/c is Benefit's boi-ing concealer) with it and it is very very VERY CAKEY. You can see the cakey-ness once you've applied the product. Will not repurchase this product bec i think it caused PIMPLES. Bottom line: I think this is okay for those lucky girls who doesn't need to conceal imperfections; this pressed powder is suitable for those who have flawless skin. As for myself, I wouldn't repurchase because it is very cakey, may be the cause for some of my pimples (that I am trying to get rid off now)
