Dermablend Loose Setting Powder, Face Powder Makeup & Finishing Powder, Mattifying Finish and Shine Control

I bought this for my son’s wedding. Make up stayed on all day.

Dermablend Loose Setting Powder & Primer Primer I love this hydrating primer. This fills in pores and fine lines to help create a smooth surface for your foundation. It really smoothes everything out. My foundation went on much better and lastest longer. This stuff is like glue though so be prepared for that texture. It does dry down quickly and doesn't lose the gripping properties. Ingredients Aqua / Water / Eau, Polysorbate 80, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, PEG-150 Distearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, PEG-150 Stearate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Panthenol, PVP, PEG-150, Stearic Acid, Quercus Suber Bark Extract, Sodium Phytate. Finishing Powder This is a very lightweight finishing powder that does a great job of protecting your foundation. It does a good job on my super dry skin and doesn't it make it dry out any further in warm weather. This does NOT work for me when it is cold out since the moisture in my skin is really reduced. I put this on right after applying my foundation and used a fluffy kabuki brush. This does have a bit of flashback so if you are taking pictures, I would use something else. Ingredients Talc.

Dermablend has a reputation for high-quality cosmetics, so I was curious to try the setting powder and Insta-Grip Jelly primer. These products work together to keep your make-up fresh-looking all day long. The jelly primer is a clear gel that leaves your skin slightly sticky and ready for foundation. The setting powder goes on over your foundation products. Overall, I think these products are ideal for people who wear heavy makeup (and liquid foundation) that needs to stay put for long periods of time. I'm more of a minimalist make-up wearer who usually wears a little concealer and some tinted SPF for everyday wear. These products didn't really do much for me. I got the setting powder in the original white-tinted shade. It works well to eliminate shine, but as a pale white person, it just made me look even more pasty looking. I found myself needing to put on some powder bronzer or blush after using this product...so it just added more steps to my daily routine than I prefer. I think the tinted setting powders might be a better bet. Overall, if you wear heavy makeup, perhaps to cover up skin imperfections or scars, these products would probably work well for you.

I bought this to go with the Dermablend liquid foundation drops. I have combination skin. The primer is extremely thick and sticky, does not spread evenly, and feels like rubbing honey all over my face. Foundation literally peels off when wearing the primer. The powder is also heavy and dries out my skin. The powder makes my foundation so cakey.

I like the powder and recommended it. But the primer does NOT work. It actually made my makeup come off easier and was more noticeable when it came off (I want able to blend it). So would recommend the powder to everyone, but not the primer at all!
