So, I'm an oily skin type kinda gal, so I'm always looking for products that are going to mattify my skin when I'm really needing that long-lasting effect, therefore, after a LONG time of hearing a lot of hype about this product - from your standard makeup users to your YouTubers... I decided to give it a go.
First Impression: The packaging was simplistic, which I am a fan off, and because you can see through the lid, you can tell exactly what colour you're going to get. My only negative for the packaging is that my lid doesn't stay on well... which means I have to keep it inside a pocket otherwise it will come off and cause havoc in my makeup bag.
On the skin? I was really pleased, it certainly mattifies the skin but my only word of caution is that being too generous with the powder can create a cakey look especially in the t-zone (for me at least), but provided you're using a big fluffy powder brush, I think you'll be just fine.
Longevity? This product definitely adds to this! I paired it with a matte foundation and I was super impressed with how long it lasted and kept that shiny oily look away.
Overall? Aside from the few little downsides - which is just me being picky - I think this products remains true to the hype. It does what it say's it's going too and it's amazing value for money.
From the very first use it worked a charm. It controls shine for about a good 2 - 3 hours and after that gives skin a nice satin finish.
Good thing is also that powder doesn't splatter everywhere!
One thing I wish it had was a brush or powder applicator! I have managed to find one however would have liked one to come along.
