This is by far the best setting powder I’ve come across in a long time. It’s not cakey and also doesn’t have any shimmer in it. ...I compared both powders and I only saw one difference.. this talc free version has little shimmers in it & the original doesn’t, but once you blend it out the shimmers doesn’t really show (at least for my tanned complexion it didn’t)..
