Great base for makeup...I don't get along well with silicone based primers (porefessional/smashbox photofinish) and this is the opposite. It goes on almost like a lotion but then becomes tacky to adhere to makeup. ...I've used Smashbox Photofinish Light and this is far better!

No makeup makeup...This is definitely a no makeup makeup look kind of powder. It’s nice and super fine....It sets your make up and blurs your face for a photofinish look. The only problem is, I used it with the foundation and that dried my face out which made me dislike all of the products.
