Being traditionally dry, I previously never set my entire face with powder. That has all changed in recent months, after some hormonal changes caused my skin to change to oily, then to combination, now to normal. I honestly had no idea how to cope with my suddenly excessively oily skin. A friend suggested I bake and set my entire face. My dry girls will know this concept to a person with dry skin is foreign. 

I tried was using the RCMA No Colour Powder, as this is what I had been previously using for setting the under eye. While this is fantastic for normal to dry skin types, I found it wasn't good at controlling or absorbing oil, but it did somewhat increase longevity. I also tried the Laura Mercier Setting Powder, which was much better at controlling oils, but it definitely gave my skin more of a matte look than what I would prefer.  

After hearing great things, I welcomed into my life the Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder (Light Medium). I ordered off Beautylish as always, because of their speedy delivery and after pay options!

Price
Price wise this is definitely on the steeper side for the amount of product you get. This will set you back $35 USD for 0.35oz or 10g of product. That's about $50 AUD. A quick comparison in USD to some other popular powders:

RCMA No Colour Powder - $12 USD for 3oz ($4 per oz)
Laura Mercier Loose Translucent Powder - $38 USD for 1oz ($38 per oz)
Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder - $35 for 0.35oz ($100 per oz)
Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder - $55 for 0.42oz ($130 per oz)

So, it falls somewhere in between mid-range and high end. 


Packaging
The packaging of this powder is one of the main reasons this has become a favourite of mine. At first glance it's your standard loose powder container that we're used to, with a twist off lid that you shake the powder out into for application. Standout feature of this is the built in divider. I'm not sure if it has a proper name but divider sounds about right. When the lid is on, the divider is closed, which stops too much product escaping into the lid in transit. Some other brands have similar versions of this divider, such as the twist sifter on Bare Minerals and Laura Mercier but this is the first I've seen using this design. It's easy enough to use, and you still get a good amount of product into the lid when you tip it over. Even when you finish the product, you could refill it up again with the powder of your choice for a travel friendly version.
