I’m a dry skin gal so I can be pretty picky when it comes to powders, for me this one is just ok. I like to set my makeup with powder even though my skin is dry, but because this powder is meant to control oil I found it to be too drying and mattifying for my personal taste. ...Excellent setting powder...Loving this powder more than any setting powder I own.
