Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're looking for a affordable and quality finishing powder, then this is it! I personally love this powder, it softens the rest of my makeup giving me a smooth and finished look. Although I use very little (since a little goes a long way) I love how it absorbs most of the oil from my face for a long period of time. Despite its greatness, I wouldn't say that I use this on a daily basis, but rather for when I go out and know that I will be taking a lot of pictures! I was initially skeptical of the product before buying it due to the reviews about "flashback" and "white faces," but I can assure that if you use it the right way, you won't look ghostly in pictures! So I'm going to clarify a few things that some may be confused about: 1. Since this is a finishing powder, you should use it only after you have applied everything -- foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, etc. THEN this powder. 2. Only use this ONE time!! This is not a touch up powder or something that provides extra coverage. So for all you face bakers out there, this is not the thing for that (honestly, no finishing powder really should be). 3. You must use the smallest amount EVER! A little goes a longggg way. So look at your brush. You think it looks good? Ok, cool! Now shake off even more excess. Trust me. 4. To avoid white streaks and moving your perfectly placed makeup always remember to PAT on your powder! Even when blending, just pat in circles. The main ingredient in this product (and most finishing powders) is Silica. And for those who don't know, Silica is strongly holographic so it possesses light reflecting properties... AKA it's a light reflective ingredient. So if you use too much and take a photo with flash, the flash is going to reflect off your face and make it look white. But that's ONLY if you use too much! HD finishing powders are meant to provide a finished soft and smooth look that are great on cameras and photography if you use it the right way! I personally like to use a kabuki brush with black bristles because they are not only great for applying this powder, but also great for determining if you are using too much! If you can see the powder on your brush, then you have too much. If you use the powder in this way, you shouldn't have any flashback problems but rather a flawless finished face!
