Review (2/5): Not quite
I always loved my Makeup Forever Loose Finishing Powder; however, a few years ago, I started looking for a more inexpensive alternative. The elf Finishing Powder that you can buy at any Target or Walmart for less than $10 was great, as was the big vats of Silica Powder Spheres that was even cheaper. Then, I decided that I needed something that wouldn't show up as a white mask in flash photos. Since I was already using the Mehron Celebre Pro Cream Foundation, I thought I'd try this matching powder. For some reason, it doesn't apply as easily as other HD finishing powders. I usually like to blot the powder into my skin with a velvet puff to really set my foundation and minimize the look of my humongo pores. When I try to use the puff on this powder, I end up with little dots all over my face from the pattern the sprinkle cap leaves on the puff. Any attempt to blend in the powder ends up smearing my foundation. Using a powder or a blush brush works great to blend in the powder, but then I lose the pore-minimizing and oil-preventing effects. Oh well. Good thing this powder was cheap. I am on to the next powder to try on my list.
