Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For reference, I purchased the Dermablend standard white loose powder. I have combination skin - oily T-Zone but dry patches around my nose creases and laugh lines. I am a nurse so I am constantly moving around and working long shifts which leaves little to no time for touch ups. I had been using Bare Minerals Mineral Veil for the past 12 years or so in order to set my makeup and reduce shine. With the Mineral Veil, my T-Zone would start looking oily and shiny again after about 4-6 hours, and the dry parts of my face would look patchy and dry. I might as well have been using baby powder! Over the years, Bare Minerals has gotten less and less effective as they've changed their formulations for the worse to save money - BYE FELICIA. This Dermablend setting powder is FAR SUPERIOR to the Mineral Veil. It effectively reduces shine ALL DAY. It does NOT settle into creases or melt away. The Dermablend formulation seems finer and lighter weight which means it is undetectable and natural looking. It maintains a matte finish on my face for 12 hours or more. It is almost like putting on a translucent mask. I have gotten multiple compliments on my skin since I started using it. I don't strictly follow the application recommendations for Dermablend. They instruct you to put a lot on, wait a few minutes for it to sit/absorb, then brush off the excess. Instead, I just lightly and evenly coat the end of my Kabuki brush and buff it into my face the same way I would apply the Mineral Veil. Overall, I would 100% recommend this to family and friends. It is a game changer for me.
