Studio Finishing Powder, Loose Format, Matte Finish, Oil Absorbing, Vegan Formula, Shade: Translucent

I've always had a lot of trouble keeping my makeup on and lasting longer. I've tried setting sprays as well as this setting powder and I'd say the powder works a bit better. Once applied I certainly feel more confident in the longevity of my foundation. It used to be I would see a noticeable reduction in coverage after around 2 hours of being at work, but with this setting powder I'd say it lasts around 4-5 hous before I can really see any flaws coming through. That's a great improvement for me and even by the end of the working day my makeup still looks better than it did before using this. Pros: Definitely prolongs makeup Easy to apply and feels soft on skin Very fine powder which isn't even noticeable once applied Cons: It is on the slightly more expensive side One of these finishing powders lasted 5 months of continuous use for me. I'm not sure really sure if that's a good result or not but Im quite happy with how long it lasted, especially as when you first open the container it looks less than half full. Great purchase though and I'll certainly be ordering another one shortly.

Great finishing powder. Keeps the shine away

I'm really torn over this one. On one hand, 10 stars for longevity, probably the best powder I've ever had, easily lasts throughout the day and at the end of my 8 hr work day my make up looks like it wqs just applied 5 mon ago. No oily face whatsoever and no reaction at all by my overly sensitive skin. On the other hand however, it has an absolutely disgusting chemical smell that makes me sick and the powder is too fine, what makes it very wasteful, as you can't put it back to the tub without generating a huge cloud around yourself, amd a lot of it goes to waste. Still 4 star for longevity, but I'm not sure for how long will I be able to tolerate its smell

Where has this been all my life?! Skin type - oily Very sensitive skin Can’t wear foundation Perimenopausal Chronic illness sufferer This translucent powder is a gift from the gods, I swear! I don’t have much energy so I love an easy fix. After I’ve washed and moisturised my face, I dust this Nyx powder all over my face. I then apply my makeup and fixing spray. Even after a full day’s teaching, my skin remains matte, my make up has not shifted, printed or bled, and my skin looks fantastic. I highly recommend this product! I’m absolutely hooked!

This powder does what it says on the tin. It is a very fine, light translucent powder, white in colour but it does not add a white sheen to the face, which is great. The container it comes in isn’t ideal because a lot of the powder escapes every time the lid is opened. It doesn’t have the density and weight of other more expensive brands. I have personally found that it leaves a heavy powdery texture on the skin, which doesn’t happen with more expensive translucent powders. However, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a cost effective alternative. I’ve had mine for about six months now and I’ve definitely got another six months left, although I only wear makeup about twice a week.

Big fan of this product. Keeps my shine down without caking. Lasts all day with NYX setting spray

This is a good powder. Ray to use, don’t overuse as makes you look a bit pale.

As someone with Oily skin I found this setting powder to work very well but others who have normal skin could find it very drying. The last powder I bought smelt horrific, it was disgusting trying to apply it on or around my nose and no matter how hard I pressed my lips somehow I always got it in my mouth, tasted like talcum powder . I bought this Nyx powder to replace it, thankfully this barely as an odor and feels beautiful, velvety & smooth on my skin. It works very well at matifying ny skin and ensuring my makeup stays in place. I will be buying this powder only from now on.
