Finishing Powders/Pressed Powders are a essential makeup item for setting-in your makeup and prevent your foundation, concealer & cream blushers/bronzers from fading throughout the day. It has to layer well, gives an even coverage and keep your face shine-free for a long time. I prefer transparent powders and this one interested me the moment I saw it. Sheer finishing powders works the best for setting your makeup and for those like me who don’t like additional coverage which might make the foundation/base makeup look heavy.

M·A·C X CHRIS CHANG PREP + PRIME TRANSPARENT FINISHING PRESSED POWDER  is a silky, colourless finishing powder for all skin tones that reduces shine. Wear over makeup or on its own. Available in a pressed compact for portability. Features uniquely designed packaging.

My thoughts about this – DID IT WORK ON ME ?

Shade, Pigmentation – This is described as a silky, colourless finishing powder that reduces shine. Now, the question is how good it is. How it worked for me – The texture is not powdery. The color on pan looks whiter, this powder is colourless when applied. For the swatch- I had to scratch it and put some to my hand.

Unfortunately, this Prep/Prime Finishing Powder did nothing for me. It didn’t blur out anything and wasn’t particularly mattifying too. In short – It’s only the packaging that makes it wow. It’s not worth the hype. I didn’t like it at all. As a finishing powder it did nothing to prolong the longevity of my makeup. Also It was super difficult to pick the product using the brush. I had to scratch some portion to get the product out. I found it extremely chalky as well..

Overall, I am not impressed at all. If you are planning to get this / if you landed up on my page to check the review of this – my advice to you is – Never buy this. unless you do for just the packaging, hahah 🙂 I know most of us do that! It also broke me out very badly after using it. I have a sensitive skin. I don’t know if any particular ingredient didn’t suit me. You can try your luck. Do let me know if you liked it.
