What they flagged

  • Doesn't control shine on oily T-zone

What the gurus are saying

This powder earns consistent praise for being virtually undetectable and smoothing on the skin, with experts noting its lightweight feel makes it ideal for a sheer, buffed finish rather than full coverage. One reviewer found it struggled to control shine on oily areas when used as a heavy setting powder, though she later switched to it and preferred it for setting concealer under the eyes. Gurus suggest using a fluffy brush and applying it lightly rather than packing it on for the best results.

"This is the NYX HD Studio Powder, now this is a finishing powder. I wouldn't recommend using this if you like to kind of pack the face with powder. This is definitely something where you want to use a fluffy brush and just kind of buff it into the skin or use it underneath the eyes. I tend to use it underneath the eyes because it's so lightweight, it's insane. It literally dissipates into the air, that's how lightweight it is, but it's beautiful and I love how affordable it is."

My #1 Products from July 2023 😍
"This is a really really fine lightweight powder, virtually undetectable on the skin. It is really nice. I tried it a little bit of a different way today and I used a powder puff under my eyes to set, which I wouldn't recommend. I feel like it kind of tinted my under eyes, although it looks so smooth. So I would just continue to use a brush like I normally do with this, and it's great for days when you kind of want a little bit more of a lighter set makeup."

"This is the NYX HD powder. I'm gonna take a little bit of that on my beauty blender puff. This is so lightweight feeling and I'm just gonna kind of take that and press it underneath the eyes. Oh wow, very very smoothing as well as through the T-Zone."

The Trendy "Latte" Makeup.. Let's try it!
"I'm gonna use the NYX HD Studio Powder. She also says she doesn't really use too much powder for these looks so I'm gonna try to use a smaller amount but I do love setting my makeup."

"For setting powder, I'm using the NYX Matte Mineral Powder in Light Medium. [...] I find that setting my under-eye concealer is so important as it really helps it to stay crease-free much, much longer."

"I powdered my T-Zone with the Nyx Matte Mineral Powder to try to take down the shine, but the shine came right through the powder all day and [...] my setting powder really did nothing to control the shine on the Mario foundation."
