Like most women, I am on a journey for flawless skin. I have the perfect primer, moisturizer, foundation, glow mist and setting spray. I just need the perfect loose finishing powder for ultimate airbrushed perfection! I have spent weeks researching and trying out finishing powders at Sephora and Blue Mercury.
For luxury, I tried Laura Mercier, Hourglass Vanish, and Huda Beauty finishing powders. The famous Laura Mercier powder and honestly it did not work for me- too cakey. I loved Hourglass Vanish it but could not justify the $50 price tag. Huda Beauty’s finishing powder was fair at best.
I then began browsing drugstores looking for the perfect powder. I was between the L’Oreal Infallible Loose Powder and the NYX HD Studio Photogenic finishing powder. I settled on the HD Studio as it promises it is a “miracle in a jar.” I need a miracle!
As you know from my posts, I love to put big promises to the test. When you use the powder, be careful- it gets everywhere. The potential dry cleaning bill could be more expensive than the powder. Immediately after applying the powder and using a setting spray, I found my makeup to be a little cakey. I decided to give it time- maybe it’ll settle into the skin better.
It is 9:31 PM now. I did my makeup at 11:30 this morning. 10 hours later, my skin is more flawless and glowing than ever. If you apply this loose setting powder a few hours before leaving the house, you will get the airbrushed, flawless results you are looking for.
One day, I will break down and spend $50 on Hourglass Vanish. I will do a wear test and compare it to NYX HD Studio to tell you which works better.
