Palladio Natural Rice Powder - Oil Absorbing Loose Setting Powder for Smooth, Flawless Skin & Long-Lasting Makeup | Perfect for Daily Wear, Touch-Ups & Matte Finish Looks

As someone with deep smile lines + under eye fine lines (can’t afford my usual Botox at the moment) and severely combination to oily skin, I do not have the luxury of forgoing setting powder. If I don’t use setting powder, my face is a slippery, creasing disaster. Some of my HG powders include Huda Beauty Easy Bake, Pacifica Cherry Matte, Nars Translucent Crystal powder loose + pressed versions, and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Loose Powder (gorgeous but causes horrific flashback, full on Flashback Mary soo not flash friendly).I need to bake every time I wear foundation/concealer but what happens is I end up dehydrating my skin so bad that when I smile I form a bunch of fine lines that are not normally there. I can’t win. While my usually faves are $25+ (except one that is $12) they all have their issues so I’m constantly searching; now enter this Palladio rice powder.As a student, I’m poor to say the least but I’ll beg, borrow, and steal to cop any makeup that I need - regardless of that notion, it hurts to shell out tons of money that I don’t have for good makeup so when I saw $8.99 for a setting powder I became immediately intrigued. I’m familiar with rice powder and the benefits of using rice starch in makeup for its amazing oil absorbing capabilities so I felt confident in the product’s claims regarding its efficacy. I used it today and OMG, this is perhaps my new HG powder.Whenever I use setting powder, the severity/longevity of wear before my foundation forms creases determines my liking for it. One of my favorite foundations, IT CC cream, is one of the worst offending, easily creasing products on my skin because of its emollience - something remedied little by even baking. When I got this in the mail today I immediately ripped it open and started doing my makeup with IT CC cream, which to me, is the ultimate test of a powders setting capability. I was seriously so blown away. (PS I’m fair, so I used the shade translucent and the results really shocked me.)Usually as soon as I finish my makeup, ask anyone who lives with me, I will not SMILE at all until I’m at my destination as to preserve my look from creasing (if I’m driving, I’ll also blast the AC on my face to keep my skin matte too, how pitiful right?) In general, as soon as I have any movement on my face, it’s over within minutes no matter how sheer my application is. I used IT CC cream + IT concealer (super thick) and set it with this rice powder with 0 expectations, and well, I forgot all about it. I got a coffee, made a few long, hysterical phone calls, and even ate 20 blazin’ wings from BWW to only realize in my cars mirror after the fact that my makeup WAS STILL FLAWLESS, EVEN IN 95° HEAT!! I did have super super super faint lines in my smile lines but it disappeared the second I tapped it out with my fingers. UGH, Where has this been my whole life? It’s super mattifying and it doesn’t dry your skin! It does smell like flowery/floral something mixed with baby powder scent and it lingers for a very short period. I’m so hooked on this, I’m so glad it so affordable, truly a great product! I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with similar skin/makeup issues.This powder is amazing! You don't look like you're wearing any powder at all. A very light, pleasent scent, the rice formula is the bomb lolI like the softness that it leaves on my skinI am dark skin. I didn't know that translucent is for all skin type. And bought beige that's for lighter skin tone.Read theBeen using for years. Soft, lovely coverage without heaviness. Lasts all day long.Nice little setting powder!Works well for setting or “baking” too. make up lasts and laststhis powder is smoothing and perfect for longevity! I have very oily and textured skin and this powder is so lightweight and seamless!I loved this for setting my under eye makeup, it didn’t make my makeup look cakey and it definitely helped my makeup last way longer.Difficult to apply using the puff provided, and needs great care in application to avoid making a terrible mess. Also sadly I started to develop skin breakouts after using so had to abandon the product. This, however, my just be a personal reaction.Product as describedRecommend sellerI love this rice powder I use it as a finish powder after foundation. It makes your make up look matte but this powder is one color only and is 2 tones darker than my skin tone . I still use it , but I would really like for it to come in different color shapes .No more panda eyes when I use this product so from that point of view it's amazing. However, the mess and wastage is unbelievable! Will be buying the blotting papers in future.My "panda"eyes are a thing of the past!
