   I can see why people might like this but if you are prone to acne be careful. I’ve used it twice (two days each time) on my t-zone and got horrible cystic acne on my nose and chin. The chin I get but my nose?! I never break out on my nose. I didn’t even know you could get cystic acne on your nose. I looked like Rudolph for almost two weeks. Horrible. Ethylhexyl Palmitate is a 4 on the acne rating score. Mine went into the trash.

   I like this powder. I bought it after finishing my MAC blot powder, and I will say I’m happy its performance. It controls shine well enough, definitely better than a lot of other drugstore ‘shine control’ powders i’ve used. My problem with this powder is the packaging. At first I thought it was cute enough, and it is to look at, but it’s not very practical. I bought this powder to carry with me for touchups, and it’s bulky. Not only is it bulky, but the way the mirror is set up with the sponge and everything, it’s just a dealbreaker for me. I’m on to look for something that’s easier to carry and deal with.

   Great for setting undereye concealer. Really brightens me up and convinces people that yes, I have had a good night’s sleep, when in reality, I’m a walking zombie. It can also be used to brighten up other areas of the face that have been looking a little dull.
   My skin isn’t oily, so I can’t speak for it’s mattifying properties, but I do like that it goes on smoothly and doesn’t cake.
   I don’t like this as an overall powder due to the lack of coverage, though if my skin were better I would certainly use it for that. If you have minimal skin issues this makes for one heck of a setting powder.
   I also like the sponge that’s included, though I never use it. It’s just so gosh darn sweet-looking. Gotta love HC, even their sponges are cute.
