I really like this for an inexpensive powder, it does what it says, and it keeps me matte long enough that I'm going to be wearing makeup. I mostly use it where I'm going to be applying my blush and bronzer. I also don't need to use a huge amount. I'd definitely recommend it though.

This product is great if you're on a budget! I bought it to keep in my bag for touching up during the day as I have oily skin so get shiny very quick and didn't want a super pricey product just for work days. This product definitely does what it says it does on application - mattifies and reduces shine which is why I rated the way I did. For me it lost marks though because within the hour my skin was shiny - not all day coverage! Not that I was expecting it at that price. So no I wouldn't repurchase but I do have very oily skin so I would probably recommend it for a friend to try.
I have very pale skin so finding a powder to match me is very difficult, however I find this one in its lightest shade; classic ivory, is not only light enough but also doesn't have that orange tint to it that a lot of powders have.
It lasts well, after about 5 hours I sometimes have shiny skin if it's a particularly hot day. This is the 5th one that I have bought now. Would recommend.
I am a big fan of this powder. It doesn't make foundation look cake like at all. It goes on super light weight and you don't need a lot of product to cover your face! I use it with a powder brush from Real techniques and it goes on really smoothly! I also found it easy to find the right match for my skin tone. Highly recommend! i've brought it a few times for my younger sister.
this product was a dream come true when it hit the shelf! im a combo skin and working in air con and randomly get very slick looking. Unfortuantly colour matching is 'hit and miss' as there is no testers to try, and you cant really tell what the product is like untill its opened. I have this in Nude Beige. Its not the best colour, but i make it work. what would be AWESOME, is if they had a Transperent powder!!! Then i would definatly re purchase. I LOVE the texture, i is very similar to Rimmel stay matte powder, but a little but smoother. It feels great on my skin, and it does 'help' keep the oil at bay. im not saying that its perfect, as depending on what base im wearing, it has different effects. if i use this over my Natio, its awesome, but if i put it on over a BB cream, im still having to touch up after a few hours. the packaging is pretty simple, easy to open and you can see the product. Now the big test for me will be using this over the summer months........
Tips: no tips, but do a bit of reserch on colours prior to purchasing, you may have better luck getting the perfect match :)
I'm currently using this finishing powder and I'm finding I get about 5 hours wear before the shine creeps in. This is comparable to the rimmel stay matte, but I think it might be ever so slightly better. There is no caking. I wear Mac N20 face & body fdtn and got this in Natural Beige so darker skin tones won't find a match here I suspect.
Tips: I actually use my RT buffing brush to work this into my foundation and I get amazing wear from it as well as a nice airbrushed finish
I brought this because I needed a cheap powder. The packaging is really simple and would be good if the compact came with a mirror but we can't all be perfect. ;) The powder is alright I use it to set my BB cream and it does what it says..."keeps the shine at bay" However if my skin is too dry it does cling to those patches but that's just my skin not really the product. To avoid dry spots clinging I just make sure to moisturize my face before applying my makeup and I also only use a little bit of the powder to take the shine off my face after applying BB cream.
Reminds me of the fit me powders. Very good at what it does. These days I don't really need powder but when I did this was really good but 8 had to be careful because if I applied too much i would look too pale. So when you use make sure you follow through with blush contour and or highlight. I didn't notice much if an oxidizing but this would obviously depend on what you are using under it and your skin chemistry. I don't recall there being a mirror in the packaging which would be an improvement though it's fairly sturdy like other reviewers have said. I'm sure this has talc in it so it's not going to do you any favours as far as preventing acne it might actually block your pores but its a decent setting powder and proved nice coverage - it isn't translucent. Just be careful because if you get oily over and over and keep layering up powder it will get cakey. Affordable price and does the job
This stuff is literally a life saver, sent from above! I have finished my multiple flirtations with numerous other powders and I have found the one my soul loves. 1. The case is sturdy plastic, screw-on lid that promises no breakage or dismantling in your makeup bag. 2. This stuff is MATTE. I’m an oil slick. If I say this stuff works, IT WORKS. 3. No oxidation. 4. Has decent coverage without looking cakey or changing foundation colour. 5. Full price= under $20 NZD from Farmers. 6. Very smooth velvet finish, I have pimples, pores, wrinkles starting to form and small bumps...this powder does NOT emphasise. Obviously it does not magically make every lthing disappear, but second best eh? 7. No smell.
Defo found my new holy grail. RIP ME.
Tips: Paired with maybelline ‘fit me’ concealor and foundee it works a treat. Every day will be a good makeup day :-)
I purchased this as I had heard good things and was tired of matte powders not being able to get the oiliness at bay during summer. This has done the trick! The packaging is really simple; a simple clear plastic lid that screws onto the compact. The packaging is quite annoying, the lid is screwed on really tight and when I first got this it took me days before I could unscrew it and I thought I'd never even get to use it, as this screws on very tights and its hard to grip to undo. Even now, it can be hard at times to unscrew, especially when you're doing makeup and often have greasy hands. I own the palest shade in this. It surprisingly provides quite full coverage and has a sort of blurring effect and definitely makes my skin look better. This is VERY matte which I love and this keeps my foundation in place and matte all day. A little bit of shine sometimes slips through on hot days, so a quick touch up is needed, but it's usually fine without. This layers well on top of itself so its easy to build more coverage. However, being matte it does cling to the hairs on your face, so it can emphasize any hairs above your lip a lot. I did find this really neutralized any colour in my face and washed it out a bit, so be sure to use blush and bronzer with this (I do anyway whenever I'm using face powder so this wasn't an issue for me, but would be if you wanted a more natural base look). This was super affordable and is ridiculously mattifying, I reccommend it for anyone with oily skin. It is quite drying, so this isn't for you if you want a matte look, but have a drier skin type. This is pretty great, my only downsides are the awkward packaging and how the colour is a bit too neutralizing, but its worth it for how good this is at mattifying for a drug store product.
