Part of the daily routine! It has worked just as well as some of the MAC products. I've been really happy with the coverage; you don't need to layer on the makeup in order to hide any imperfections and blemishes.

I had been looking for a matifying powder foundation for several months now. I have combination/oily skin and all the other products I've tried recently did nothing for me. I came across this product by chance and decided to try it. I was quite surprised to see how effective this foundation is (stays matte several hours). The texture is also very light which, unlike other products, does not feel like you're wearing a mask.

This powder has light coverage, I don't think it'd be enough on its own to cover any blemishes. It may be able to diminish the look of very minor problems, but other than that I don't think it'll do much on its own. However, over foundation I noticed that it did provide a little extra coverage. It hasn't become too cakey or too powdery on me and controls shine quite well. I had tried this with my MUFE Mat Velvet sample and didn't notice any difference, however MV usually does that job perfectly alone. Then, I tested this powder with my MUFE HD Foundation, which after a few hours tends to become oily on me. After approximately 10 hours, I didn't have any excess oil or shine, however I did notice that my make up looked a bit as if it was "breaking down". (Something I probably wouldn't even of noticed if not for looking for it.)

This powder didn't and hasn't broken me out and has worked really well for controlling shine. However, despite it being an overall good powder, as I said before, it's nothing that really jumps out at me.
If a setting powder alone was what I'm looking for, I'd be happy to give this powder 4-5 stars. Even though it is a good powder, based on what I wanted from it and what I didn't get is what resulted in the 3/5 I've given it. However, if shine control is what you want, I would highly recommend this powder.

I noticed that every time I used this powder the coverage of my foundation lasted a smaller amount of time and it didn't cover my imperfections very well than when I set my foundation with other powders.
