A nice loose powder but watch out for flashback

This is a finely milled white powder and I use it to set my concealer and base. I have dry skin and my main criteria for powders is to mattify my base without making my skin look too dry and... Read full review

Nyx finishing powder

What is it? The NYX Professional Makeup Studio Finishing Powder is a white silica based finishing powder that is designed to be worn over foundation to help set your base and to give skin a fresh finishing glow. It comes in a round jar which has holes in the top to help deliver the product out of the container. The powder is very white lightweight , and soft to apply. The first thing I noticed is that this powder always delivers more than is needed. The container seems to always push out more product than I require even if I'm gentle. And when opening it also tends to come out quickly too. I feel like I end up wasting quite a bit in application. The holes are quite large. Even though the powder comes out a lot, it applies very soft and smoothly to the skin and it is quite finally milled. For myself I use a brush or a beauty blender and it sets my makeup quite nicely. I use it over foundation to set and I do find it applies very white cast like. With this one, I really have to work it into the skin & blend it out otherwise it tends to remain very white & uneven. Positives are that it doesn't sink into pores or highlight fine line. The nyx finishing powder actually doesn't give me a matte finish, its more in between. For me it looks a bit more glowy then a normal powder and I also find that it doesn't really help my makeup set or last longer. My face gets quite oily and more glowy quicker with this powder. The powder doesn't seem to set or help makeup last for a longer time. Due to the finely milled and very white powder this also gives a lot of flash back in pictures and it does look white. I think this is because it tends to just sit on the face. Repurchase? For me, no. I don't like how it doesn't last on my skin, delivers too much product & looks white in photos. This container only lasted me 2 months due to so much product being wasted so although it's cheaper I'd prefer a better container. There are some nice positives to this one, it does look nice once buffed in and is a decent setting powder it just didn't work for me.

I've heard about the NYX HD Studio finishing powder as a dupe to Makeup Forever's Ultra HD and MAC's finishing powder and selling for a fraction of the price, so what's not a reason to try it out!
NYX HD Studio comes in a plastic jar of 6 grams slightly less than Make up Forever's 8.5g ($61) and MAC 8g ($44), although I have not tried them so I cannot compare the performance besides price value.
The NYX HD Studio comes in a very finely milled white loose powder that does not feel gritty or powdery when applied. The white powder should not scare people as it does not disrupt the shade or colour of your complexion, what it offers is like a setting powder giving you the ultimate airbrush finish! This is my third jar I've used so I have experimented in the best method to apply the product as it can get quite messy and loose powder application varies.
I found using a powder brush and sponge such as a beautyblender works best. I dip the brush into the powder and tap the excess onto the lid which I will use again if needed and do the same tapping steps. I gently pat onto the t-zone, area of bridge of nose and corner of the eyes, chin and corner of my mouth, I then use the brush again and gently sweep and press the powder until I remove any excess off my face.
As for the sponge, I tip a bit of powder onto the lid then use the sponge to collect the powder on it then dab the sponge onto the areas. I continue to do this until the powder is evenly spread and then use the powder brush to sweep off the excess. Both techniques gave me that airbrush finish, that helps set my makeup and keep my foundation and concealer in place. It's neither a matte finish or too much of a dewy finish, it sets my makeup that seems to amplify the lumosity of my makeup! If that makes sense! The powder completes my makeup look for the day and I can never skip a make up day without using it!
However, it does not make my makeup lasts the mile, just maybe an extra few hours. But I just love the finish that I still gave it a 5/5 star rating!
I found that one jar lasts me for 6-7 months which is such a great value for money, not only that but it really lived up to its claims and it has certainly been a repurchase product for me! 0
