Pretty good basic powder

I purchased this to set my BB cream and I must say it does the job. I feel it clings a bit to my dry patches but then that's a problem with my skin rather than the formula!

Normally during the day I get a bit of shine going on within the T-zone. While this doesn't completely negate that it does really go some way to keeping my skin looking natural and flawless.

Even when it sticks to my dry patches from a foot or two away it still looks good! Great colour match for me in the lightest shade. I can see this becoming super popular in summer when i don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still need something to set the BB cream.

Would I repurchase? Yes most likely. It goes really well with the Maybelline BB cream and i feel that for summer this combination of products will be fantastic!

Maybelline Matte Maker Review

I have what seems like the darkest shade for this product line which is 50 Sun Beige. I bought this at Uncle Bills on sale for around $5 or $6 just to try out not expecting anything good but since it was a Maybelline product I was dead wrong. I love this powder to set my foundation or BB cream depending on what I am doing for the day and the amount of coverage I want. Because of my oily skin I sometimes powder my bare face to stop it looking shiny and gross.

This completely mattes out my skin like I hoped it would and is a nice light powder. I just use a kabuki brush or any other powder brush depending on whatever is clean and useable.

Definitely one of my favourite powders and lasts for quite sometime. The thin packaging makes it very easy to take around for touch ups if necessary. Will be repurchasing.

Tips: I find that there isn't much colour in the powder itself so there is no worry about colour matching.

Highly Recommend

Maybelline Matte Maker is absolutely amazing for people who suffer from oily skin like myself....I use this to set my liquid foundation and absolutely love it. It feels very light on my skin and I don't need a lot to cover my whole face. i use the shade 30 natural beige and it blends so perfectly on my face and neck and doesn't make me look like I have a caked face. It also keeps the oily shine away! Hands down the best powder I have had in along time and also very cheap! Highly recommend!!!

Tips: use a thin lizzy brush

A good pressed powder

I bought this because I needed a pressed powder in a shade that matched me when I was fake tanned and this worked well. It's not the best powder I've used but it definitely does the job, I like how it comes in more yellow tones shades and it's not overly powdery. Although this is the only powder I've found that has made me more oily during the day if I wear it for more than a few hours; it's nothing too bad though. Also I'm not too fond of the packaging, it's quite similar to the rimmel stay matte powders and I would prefer it if it were in a compact with a mirror.

Basic

If you like the matte look then this product might be suited for you. I like the matte finish because I finish if I have a shiny finish people suggest that my face looks very oily and that’s not the impression I was to give off. I was excited to try this product. It’s does what it says it does but nothing extra. It didn’t impress me. It’s a good setting powder to have in your collection for the price.

Tips: Use a good buffering brush otherwise the powder won’t last all day

I need to repurchase this!

I found this on clearance years ago in Farmers and didn't really know what I was buying (those newbie days haha).

I applied this over my foundation as a finishing powder and really loved it! It soon became a product that I used daily!

It applies really smoothly and mattifies the face without making you feel heavy and cakey. I found it was easy enough to throw in my bag with a brush to use on the go, the packaging was quite robust!

I literally used this until I couldn't get anything else out of the pan, and now seeing it on here, reminds me I really need to repurchase this product!

Affordable, long wearing

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.

Good inexpensive powder

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.

Good, but not great

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.

Good for very pale skin

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.
