    This is a pretty good finishing powder. I helped keep my face matte for a good portion of the day. It is a bit pricey, so I would get it again if it came in a set (just like how I got it)

    Decided to purchase this after I 'borrowed' it from my sister for a day. I have an oily T-zone and it mattifies it without being chalky. It also doesn't mess up my foundation. I do have to reapply but not too often. The small 5g container lasted me a few months.

    I really love this powder. i personally don't really love to use colored powders because i find it starts to make my liquid foundation look cakey so this is an awesome alternitive to setting your foundation. I find that it helps my makeup to last much longer and it also smooths out my skin.
    I also use this to set lipsticks and its absolutely awesome for that!
    Definatly worth buying!

    I really like that this powder is so fine and keeps me matte. I just don't like the white cast it leaves, but with a little blending that goes away pretty fast too.

    i do like the finish this product gives to the skin. a little goes a very long way though, because too much will leave a white cast. it's not very long wearing, so i don't recommend it for daily use. for a short (3-5 hour) event where you know you'll be taking pictures, this would be nice, especially paired with the hd foundation (awesome!).
    pros:
    - very finely milled
    - smooth/soft
    - packaging is surprisingly easy to work with
    cons:
    - can leave a white cast
    - not too long wearing

    hope this helped x

    Great at absorbing oil and getting rid of shine for a beautiful matte finish. Very lightweight, but extremely white so too much will noticeably lighten the appearance of your skin.

    Cons: the loose powder is messy and flies all over the place every single time the lid is opened. it creates a powder smoke that is unpleasant to breathe in.
    Can make dry skin much more obvious.

    So long story short, my Hyperreal foundation from Mac was discontinued and I have since been on the hunt for replacement makeup. I went to Mac 3 times to try and find a substitute but to no avail. I tried their mineralize makeup and it actually reacted with my face and burned. I tried their Strobe cream mixed in with their Select Finish and I looked like I had jaundice and was sick. Not good. Anyway, I then proceeded to Sephora (blessfully they opened one in Vancouver in the last year) and let the makeup artists have a go at my face. The best results were achieved with Make Up Forever's High Definition foundation combined with this product, Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Loose Powder. This is a very very finely milled powder and very little product goes a long way....which is good because I purchases just the small travel size for $17. I find that this product gives me a nice finish on top of my foundation and I am very impressed with this product. Sad that this Mac loyal chickie has now had to convert to another brand 15 years later but Mac's shades look BAD on my skin now with their current offerings. Ah well!
