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

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.

It’s a nice powder and definitely takes care of oil. It is not finely milled like Huda but it works well for overall coverage

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

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!

It looks nice, but it STINKS.

This makes your face look smooth and keeps your make up to stay on for the whole day! And also doesnt have any bad smells, its a small product but you dont need alot to set your face and look good!

I love this powder it gives you good coverage and a matte finish. I use it with the blotting sheets and keeps me matte throughout the day.
