This is the only pressed setting powder that I use now. i have five different loose powders that I cycle through, but this is the only pressed powder that I own. i have it in a full size and two minis, one mini from my car and one for touch ups. i can only thank the Japanese girls on TikTok who are raving about this powder. ...I bought it last week, wasn't sure if I would like it, but have wanted to try it for a long time, the first time I tried it I just put it over my foundation and powder, but since I have very fair skin I didn't really see a difference, the next day I tried it over my foundation, powder and blush, and wow it looks amazing!!
