Smashbox Photo Set Finishing Powder | £18 | Boots
I'm always searching for new powders to keep my makeup on for longer and to set my foundation. Suffering from dehydrated skin, I don't like a powder that's too heavy.
The powder is completely transparent on your skin and feels and looks very lightweight. The powder itself is extremely silky and soft, soaking up any excess oil on your skin throughout the day, setting your liquid foundation and apparently, blurring any fine lines. It also contains an SPF 15 which is great!
I've been using the powder for sometime now and really enjoying it. My foundation does seem to last a lot longer on my skin, especially lighter-weight foundations and any shine that I get from my moisturiser and foundation is diminished, without drying out my skin or making any dry areas look worse.
If you've tried/heard/seen the Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing Powder from MAC, this is very similar, but £2 cheaper (and you get more product for your money), plus, I much prefer the texture of this powder.
What powders have you tried?
