Re: Silica powder on black skin
this powder is amazing! but let me tell you what i discovered. This is a setting powder by all means, so it must set makeup. I tried this out when I had nothing on my face and i tried it over powder i already had this left me ashy every single time. BUt whenever i use it with my sff or foundaiton stick, it sets it and somewhat is absorbed. no ashy look EVEN when I take photos. Even if i put on a light foundation like a tint moisturizer then it may look ashy, it is osmethign i use when i am putting it ontop of something. And if my skin is somewhat dry it will look horrible on mys kin which i think is the reason.It kind of catches onto those dry parts. So make sure that your skin isnt dry/flaky (whcih also has bad results for me if im using powders) and make sure it isnt already too matted (like i tried it once after i put a mattifier OVER my makeup...bad movelol)
i have oily skin as well, so there is much to be absorbed. and i like to matte out my face . whereas some people mgiht not like that use.
only use a little as well. whcih i cant emphasize as much. i am quite heavy handed and i pack on my powder, mainly because i like to get more coverage, but this doesnt offer coverage so no sense in that. i have to use a little like ive never used before, and it really mattes it out. i also found that my bigger brush was better with this because it was stiffer and better at pushing it around. my other brush was too fluffy i felt it just kind of sat there and was too fluffy to push it around.where as it doesnt matter what i use with regular powders because it usually matches my skin.
sometimes, i do a quick dusting of msf over it OR studio powder.
by far this is the best translucent powder ever.
