RCMA Makeup No Color Powder

BUY IT

Since this powder is getting a lot of (well deserved) hype right now it would almost be wrong not to review it.

SKIN TYPE: Greasy, not even oily. THAT oily that even after several days with no makeup and proper moisturizing, after I rub my fingers on my t-zone the amount of grease on them would be enough to fry eggs on. Sorry for the gross-ish picture I painted for you.

PRODUCT: "Where have you been all my life?" is what I would call a book about this powder if I were to ever write one. The powders I've used before this one to set my concealer and foundation are the translucent one from Rimmel and the Anastasia and Kat Von D contouring kits. I don't wear foundation every day and when I do wear one I use the waterweight from Mac (dewy, light coverage) but I use concealer every day, either the Mac pro longwear or the Nars radiant creamy one (just for reference). Before this powder I used to think that my makeup looks pretty good, not the best but it was fine and my face looked pretty oily after 8+ hours but for me that's a given. When I received this powder a couple of days ago I wanted to try it in all kinds of ways before stating my opinion and I can now pronounce us husband and wife. It keeps me matte ALL DAY and my concealer didn't even crease (????????) and I didn't even think I could ever avoid it so I no longer saw it as a big problem. I also set my whole face with it. AND!!! It makes my face look airbrushed, especially my under-eye area. Yes. A thousand times yes.

PACKAGING: I get that some people have a small issue with it but for me the problem was not so much about getting the product out but more that I was afraid that all the powder would spill in my bag when traveling. I found an old BareMinerals foundation, took apart the jar, put the powder from it in another jar (since I'm not using it), cleaned it and poured some of this RCMA powder over there. Works great!

DELIVERY: As someone already mentioned, it arrived with a nice note and with very pretty wrapping paper. I live in Europe and it took 10 days (including weekends) for it to get here which is fine for me. The only small remark I have is that my jar appeared to have much less powder in it than I've seen others have (mostly youtubers, not sure if that's why) but I can't really prove it now that I've used some and I don't really care.

TO SUM UP MY NOVEL: The powder is awesome for my oily, fair skin. Buy it now.
