Palladio, Rice Powder Loose Setting Powder Absorbs Oil Leaves Face Looking and Feeling Smooth Helps Makeup Last Longer For a Flawless Fresh Look, Translucent, 0.6 Ounce

As someone with deep smile lines + under eye fine lines (can’t afford my usual Botox at the moment) and severely combination to oily skin, I do not have the luxury of forgoing setting powder. If I don’t use setting powder, my face is a slippery, creasing disaster. Some of my HG powders include Huda Beauty Easy Bake, Pacifica Cherry Matte, Nars Translucent Crystal powder loose + pressed versions, and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Loose Powder (gorgeous but causes horrific flashback, full on Flashback Mary soo not flash friendly).I need to bake every time I wear foundation/concealer but what happens is I end up dehydrating my skin so bad that when I smile I form a bunch of fine lines that are not normally there. I can’t win. While my usually faves are $25+ (except one that is $12) they all have their issues so I’m constantly searching; now enter this Palladio rice powder.As a student, I’m poor to say the least but I’ll beg, borrow, and steal to cop any makeup that I need - regardless of that notion, it hurts to shell out tons of money that I don’t have for good makeup so when I saw $8.99 for a setting powder I became immediately intrigued. I’m familiar with rice powder and the benefits of using rice starch in makeup for its amazing oil absorbing capabilities so I felt confident in the product’s claims regarding its efficacy. I used it today and OMG, this is perhaps my new HG powder.Whenever I use setting powder, the severity/longevity of wear before my foundation forms creases determines my liking for it. One of my favorite foundations, IT CC cream, is one of the worst offending, easily creasing products on my skin because of its emollience - something remedied little by even baking. When I got this in the mail today I immediately ripped it open and started doing my makeup with IT CC cream, which to me, is the ultimate test of a powders setting capability. I was seriously so blown away. (PS I’m fair, so I used the shade translucent and the results really shocked me.)Usually as soon as I finish my makeup, ask anyone who lives with me, I will not SMILE at all until I’m at my destination as to preserve my look from creasing (if I’m driving, I’ll also blast the AC on my face to keep my skin matte too, how pitiful right?) In general, as soon as I have any movement on my face, it’s over within minutes no matter how sheer my application is. I used IT CC cream + IT concealer (super thick) and set it with this rice powder with 0 expectations, and well, I forgot all about it. I got a coffee, made a few long, hysterical phone calls, and even ate 20 blazin’ wings from BWW to only realize in my cars mirror after the fact that my makeup WAS STILL FLAWLESS, EVEN IN 95° HEAT!! I did have super super super faint lines in my smile lines but it disappeared the second I tapped it out with my fingers. UGH, Where has this been my whole life? It’s super mattifying and it doesn’t dry your skin! It does smell like flowery/floral something mixed with baby powder scent and it lingers for a very short period. I’m so hooked on this, I’m so glad it so affordable, truly a great product! I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with similar skin/makeup issues.

I tried this on a whim because I could no longer afford the Clinique loose powder that I have used for years. I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I love this powder. Don't let the price fool you. You can get great quality products for a lot less than than you pay for the department store brands. I wear makeup about 4 times a week and it has taken me months to get through even one container....despite it being tiny. It is very lightweight and gives a matte oil free finish, which I love. It did not cause any type of skin issues or breakouts either. It has no smell, which I also love. Anyway, if you have oily skin and want a shine free look, give this rice powder a try.

I’ve tried many setting powders in the search for the best one that would work for me. Most setting powders were too thick, still caused me to crease, the wrong color, or graying. For background, I’m South Asian with medium warm skin with a yellow undertone. I also have really stubborn hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately, after covering my hyperpigmentation the best I could with makeup, setting powder tended to make it prominent again. Very weird effect. This setting powder I found after some online research, I tried it, and it is better than even high end brands! I’ve tried so many: Fenty, Laura Mercier, Hourglass, etc etc and this one by far has my favorite application, lightweight, non-creasing. It still causes me to feel a little gray (I got the natural color), but I correct that by putting a loose foundation powder before setting powder, which helps a lot. My skin feels like nothing is on it with this setting powder, whereas other setting powders I can see on my face and creases extremely around my smile lines, and feels like another packed layer on top. I think this is best applied with a powder puff, which you can also get the triangle powder puffs from Amazon. I wouldn’t prefer using a brush if you want to see the smooth effective results. Oh, this also has a strong baby powder smell, so don’t inhale it lol, but I don’t think it’s bad or unbearable. Definitely smells better than the Laura Mercier powder.I would recommend trying this atleast once. A lot of people tend to get high end products but don’t realize other products could work just as well or better, and may be more beneficial to your skin as well (check the ingredients and compare, it depends on your preference). I use this concurrently with setting spray as well (which I spray between layers of makeup)

this is such an excellent powder. Light on your skin and true to the color you choose for your complexion. wonderful product and priced to sell for everyone!

This face power is AMAZING! I went all day with no shine, it did not look cakey, it was just smooth perfection that lasted all day.

Es pequeño, aún no lo pruebo por eso no le doy las 5 estrellas, pero por sus ingredientes de arroz espero y cumpla su función. Lo recibí intacto y viene bien empacado ✨

This powder is so amazing I’m so surprised at how cheap it is and how good it is. The formula is incredibly soft and matte, it blocks oily skin and decreases your pore size. It’s great at setting concealer too you don’t even need a lot of the product to set makeup since the powder itself is great.

This powder is wonderful. Light weight and enhances your face. I recommend it.
