Maybelline Master Fix Setting Loose Powder Review

I bought this recently when I flew to Australia for a wedding without my make up bag -_- and had to buy everything in one go from the chemist warehouse. This product It was a great price (under $10), and I was buying Maybelline foundation and bronzer so I figured the products should all work well together. The first thing I noticed when opening the packaging was that they had a seal on the inner set of holes between the compartments, meaning that the product hadn't gone everywhere - big win! Getting it off was a little difficult but that's a price I'm happy to pay to not have powder everywhere. I put the power on a large brush and dusted it all over my foundation. It was very translucent and didn't make me look white or sparkly! It definitely had a nice blurring effect and made my oily skin look very matte. The product stayed looking good all day even in the 30+ degree temperatures of the rooftop bar pre-wedding reception. Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend!

It does have a blurring effect however I didn't like the chalky smell that it has. Set makeup fine but can make your concealer crease if not compatible.

I brought this on a whim as it was on special. I have previously used a M.A.C setting powder before but I normally don't bother with them as I find a setting spray quicker and easier.

The power is very white but goes on translucent. I don't really like the smell but I can live with it. The jar is quite big considering the amount of powder in the jar. I need to use a big powder brush to catch all the powder as the surface is large. It feels quite silky on my skin and does an okay job at setting foundation compared to the M.A.C one but is a fraction of the price.

My biggest let down with this setting powder is firstly the Jar. The powder comes out too easily through the holes at the top and you can never get it back down so you end up wasting product. Secondly it leaves a white flash back in photos. Therefore I wouldn't repurchase.

This powder is bright white! I picked this up when I was in need of a powder and wasn’t able to repurchase my usual one so I just bought this one instead. I applied it how I usually would apply my other powders - firmly pressing it into my skin with a dry sponge and then gently brushing away any excess. And this powder seriously made my face so bright white! It made me look like I had flash back in the middle of the day, in natural light, with no camera flashes around. It looked really horrible. I have since tried it by gently applying it with a loose bristled powder brush and I only applied a small amount, and I didn’t have a super washed out look, but I did find that after an hour where I had applied the powder it was soo shiny and separated. So it doesn’t have a lot of longevity. I didn’t like this powder at all.
