💫 NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP HD Finishing Powder: Translucent Pressed Setting Powder for a Flawless Finish Review

My holy grail! As someone with light to medium skin tones, I have a hard time finding powders for the places I bake that aren't too light or too dark - some might even say it's impossible. I recently became addicted to NYX banana powder and found I needed a throwback, here the price was cheaper. I can apply it when I'm not at home and feel like I'm getting oily and it doesn't set, it just seems like my face looks flawless again after application. It lasts for hours and I thought I'd never say…

**This should not be taken as a reflection of the actual product. I've been using it for years and love it. **This review is about how this pressed powder arrived TWICE (one was a replacement for the original order) and it looks like the packager used tragically creative processes. Is Revain working with the NFL to pack boxes using the punting technique? Oh oh! No, it's most likely a science class at a local high school conducting gravity and trajectory experiments from 5+ floors up. The first…

Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but the ingredients don't exactly fit in the last compact I received. And the front label has disappeared pretty quickly over the past few weeks. I have been using this product for many years, have never seen it. However, it's getting worse and worse, my eyes are watering profusely and I've already had two courses of antibiotics. This item could be the culprit as almost everything has been eliminated except for the terrible air quality. It's either an irritant that's…

This is very good for me and my skin tone. I have a yellow undertone so I don't notice it brightens me up as much as it smudges and blends. It's very soft and subtle so I don't look powdery as long as I blend it well. I use it with NYX HD concealer. I have a problem with my eye area looking wrinkled when I powder my under eye concealer, but this combination gives me the most natural, least powdery/wrinkled result I've been able to achieve.

I just started trying baking because I work very long hours, sometimes between office, travel, client appointments etc. I don't use expensive products or concealer but it takes more effort to learn how to contour and do my foundation. . I first bought a translucent one from Walmart and started using it. I thought my makeup would last all day, but I didn't really know how good it was until I saw pictures of me wearing it. My skin literally looks flawless with no flashbacks. I bought the banana…

That's a huge win. I live and breathe Sephora and Ulta. All first class cosmetics. It's like my happy place. BUT. I didn't like any of the setting/finishing powders I've tried. I've tried juice cosmetics from Gweneth Paltro, Laura Meirsier, used Arbonne for years, and a few others (yes, I screwed up the spelling, but you know what I'm talking about). by several YouTube beauty gurus, so I gave it a try. Anything I will use NOW. Of course there is some white in it. These are white people. Yes…

I've found that Nyx products aren't always a 'hit' for me and this is one of them. I'm looking for the perfect translucent setting powder and I refuse to pay crazy money for it. This powder starts off by making my face look slightly ghostly white. It does eventually fade, but I suspect that's because the product wears off over the course of the day. I don't use a lot of powder, but I tried using even less to avoid the ghostly white look, but ended up not even having enough powder on my face to…

I've tried several setting and finishing powders over the years (from pharmacy to professional) but this is the only one that has legally blown me away. Intelligence. Sweeps away oil, leaves my skin looking and feeling smooth, sets foundation and lasts at least twice as long, even on a hot, sweaty day at a summer festival here in South Florida. It glides on like silk and evens out my skin without making me look yellow or like I'm wearing too much makeup which I was afraid of. Seriously, I don't
