Because this primer is a part of the Power Grip 'family' of products, that means this is a super sticky feeling primer. I had some issues with it applying well, as a result of my dry leaning skin, even when I applied a moisturizer before this primer. This is why I'm removing one star from my review. It just was not compatible with my skin type. It did work well at keeping my foundation in place though! The only reason why it looks like my makeup wasn't as matte was because the foundation I used to take pictures with this product was more of a glowy finish.
I absolutely loved this compact! The shade I got wasn't a perfect fit, but I can make it work when I'm a little darker in the summer months. I love products like this, because the mirror and applicator make on the go application super easy. There was no evident scent to the powder, which can be a turn off for me in makeup. More importantly, it worked at mattefying my foundation, so my makeup looked way less dewy. It managed to cut the appearance of 'oily looking' skin, while not making it look completely matte.
This powder did so without making my skin look more dry, and I have dry leaning skin. So sometimes powders don't always work out for me. I didn't notice any extra flaky skin when using this powder. It worked well both with the applicator that came with this product, or with a makeup brush (my preferred applicator).
