Ben Nye Neutral Set Setting Powder by Ben Nye

I love this powder! I have tried everything from Fenty, Mac, e.l.f. and even Charlotte tilbury and this in my opinion tops them! It blurs and smooths all my imperfections. This product works so well, I have sensitive skin and it does not clog my pores or irritate my skin, and still gives a flawless finish. Non scented is a bonus! I have combination skin and it works great in my T zone to make sure I stay matte and does not make me look flaky on my drier skin. I don't notice a white cast either. Would recommend!

This is an excellent product. Ben Nye was a Hollywood movie makeup artist who used the best products to achieve the best on and off-screen results. I've used loose setting powder from both high end (Chanel) and drugstore (Revlon) lines and once I tried Ben Nye's setting powder, I've used nothing but it. It does the job and feels great on the skin. The 3 oz container will last for months. I highly recommend this product.

Invisible mattifying powder, helps cream foundations stay on.

I used this setting powder with Dermablend creme full-coverage foundation and my big forearm tattoo is virtually gone! Both photos were taken in heavy sunlight as part of a promotional photoshoot for a period drama in which I was very concerned about my tattoos eventually showing under the stage lights. When I saw the second photo, I asked the photographer if she'd touched it up and she said she had no idea I even had a tattoo during that shoot.I did have to reapply both the concealer and powder at intermission every day, but that was mostly due to the fact that the staging required a lot of physical contact with that arm. I have a smaller tattoo on my other arm and it almost always stayed invisible throughout the entire show.My reason for giving this product four instead of five stars is what other reviews have already said: this "neutral" setting powder is definitely NOT neutral on people of color. Up close, the powder made my skin look almost gray and the concealer more visible, so I definitely wouldn't use it for anything other than the stage. Thankfully, because of how matte the powder is, the stage lights and harsh sunlight mute the lack of blending. Many people came up to me after the performances and were shocked to see how big and visible my tattoos are in real life.I would be careful about using this setting powder on my face. A little bit goes a long way and I'd occasionally get an accidental deep breath of the talc as I was applying the makeup on my arms and my sinuses would feel irritated for the rest of the night. I know the research on talc is mixed but I'd err on the side of caution after having such a negative reaction to it.Overall, though, I would choose this product over the Ben Nye Translucent Powder even though that one blends a little better up close. This one isn't exactly "colorless", but it's far more durable and stands up well against sweat and most on-stage contact.

I love this neutral powder. It’s invisible and great on my skin. Holds make in place and is matte. A no-brainer purchase.

It took me years to find a powder that could work with my skin. I have sensitive, dry, acne-prone, skin, and everything I tried left me looking cakey or flaky, or way older than I really am.This stuff is amazing! It keeps my makeup in place, my skin cake-and-flake free, and doesn’t settle into fine lines. I was worried about the color, but it blends so easily. I put it on daily to set my makeup and it gives my skin a soft, natural look. This is pretty much the only makeup product that I buy religiously. I was also concerned about the cost because I’m more of a drug-store cosmetic kinda girl but this tiny bottle lasts me over 6 months!The ONLY downside is that it is messy, so I feel like I waste a lot of it.

I use this for setting body paint and it works great! The paint usually will last for my whole event!:)) Would buy again:)

I have combination skin.If I use a little all over my face its good for a few for several hours.BUT... after a few hours I can see it gather in my fine lines.If I use too much, it gathers in my fine lines instantly.It does its job, its okay. I will not repurchase.
