NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPStudio Finishing Powder, Loose Format, Matte Finish, Oil Absorbing, Vegan Formula, Shade: Translucent

Where has this been all my life?!Skin type - oilyVery sensitive skinCan’t wear foundationPerimenopausalChronic illness suffererThis translucent powder is a gift from the gods, I swear! I don’t have much energy so I love an easy fix. After I’ve washed and moisturised my face, I dust this Nyx powder all over my face. I then apply my makeup and fixing spray.Even after a full day’s teaching, my skin remains matte, my make up has not shifted, printed or bled, and my skin looks fantastic.I highly recommend this product! I’m absolutely hooked!

I've always had a lot of trouble keeping my makeup on and lasting longer. I've tried setting sprays as well as this setting powder and I'd say the powder works a bit better.Once applied I certainly feel more confident in the longevity of my foundation. It used to be I would see a noticeable reduction in coverage after around 2 hours of being at work, but with this setting powder I'd say it lasts around 4-5 hous before I can really see any flaws coming through. That's a great improvement for me and even by the end of the working day my makeup still looks better than it did before using this.Pros:Definitely prolongs makeupEasy to apply and feels soft on skinVery fine powder which isn't even noticeable once appliedCons:It is on the slightly more expensive sideOne of these finishing powders lasted 5 months of continuous use for me. I'm not sure really sure if that's a good result or not but Im quite happy with how long it lasted, especially as when you first open the container it looks less than half full.Great purchase though and I'll certainly be ordering another one shortly.

I'm really torn over this one. On one hand, 10 stars for longevity, probably the best powder I've ever had, easily lasts throughout the day and at the end of my 8 hr work day my make up looks like it wqs just applied 5 mon ago. No oily face whatsoever and no reaction at all by my overly sensitive skin.On the other hand however, it has an absolutely disgusting chemical smell that makes me sick and the powder is too fine, what makes it very wasteful, as you can't put it back to the tub without generating a huge cloud around yourself, amd a lot of it goes to waste.Still 4 star for longevity, but I'm not sure for how long will I be able to tolerate its smell

Big fan of this product. Keeps my shine down without caking. Lasts all day with NYX setting spray

This powder does what it says on the tin. It is a very fine, light translucent powder, white in colour but it does not add a white sheen to the face, which is great. The container it comes in isn’t ideal because a lot of the powder escapes every time the lid is opened. It doesn’t have the density and weight of other more expensive brands. I have personally found that it leaves a heavy powdery texture on the skin, which doesn’t happen with more expensive translucent powders. However, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a cost effective alternative. I’ve had mine for about six months now and I’ve definitely got another six months left, although I only wear makeup about twice a week.

This translucent powder is perfect for setting your foundation and baking the under eye areas and other highlight zones. The powder itself is so soft, it is extremely finely milled.One thing to beware of with these types of powders is that if you are going to be taking flash photos - the powder might show up on camera due to its silicone properties.The powder makes your skin feel extremely smooth and beautiful and it seems to blurr pores which is excellent. I have heard people say that this compares to some of the top translucent powders on the market so its deffinately worth the money!Highly reccomended.

I don’t wear foundation I usually just do my brows, lashes and lip balm. But I do use la Roche posay spf fluid which tends to leave a high shine, so I wanted to try this on top and I’m glad I did. I lightly daub it on with a brush using very little product (tap the brush on the edge so the excess falls back into the tub) it does the trick and I am now uvb protected and non shiny :)

I thought I’d give this a go, cause of the fact that it was rated so high… and it was abit cheaper than my usual baking powder.Soooo anyways.. I had to wash my face and redo my whole makeup after applying this because it caked all up on my face and really didn’t look good.. also it smells kinda wierd? , the texture is weird too, like when I got it on my hand/skin I could feel it there.. if that makes sense lol. Also when i used my beauty blender in this powder it hardly picked up any product ( or maybe it just absorbed super quick idk )I usually use Morphe Set and Bake translucent powder.. its £12 but totally worth the money, its really good! Honestly if you are looking for a good powder I would definitely recommend morphe. Don’t waste your money on this and just go for the morphe!! Its only £3 more..Maybe this has worked for others but not me and I have applied it the same way as I do with morphe soo… 🤷🏽‍♀️
