I have my step brothers wedding in a few months, and I need a good, finely milled setting powder that's great with flash. I tend to use a fair amount of powder, so things like MUFE HD setting powder won't cut it.

Are Ben Nye Visage powders any good? Any other suggestions? Preferably something from Sephora/Ulta, but really open to anything.

Thanks!

As another photographer the best powder is PREP + PRIME TRANSPARENT FINISHING POWDER by Mac , and as its transparent you can use it on anyone , it's really fine so you can't see it in photos and it does not cake :)

Oh and you can buy it as a loose powder or as a compact , they both cost £19.50 but you do get more product in the loose powder.
But for your needs for it compact might be more convenient. I use the compacts anyway but they do last so totally worth it :)

@Sarah T.- I'm not the photographer, just an unfortunate victim haha :P And that I will definitely check out. We have a MAC counter here, thank God :)

@Venessa A.- I'll check that out too. I like that brand :)

@Karla F.- I'll have to order off Amazon soon so I can get used to it. Thanks for reaffirming what I had heard :)

@Kelsi Z.- really. I've never liked Revlon much. I'm willing to give it a shot though :)

Please don't use BenNye for setting under eye for a wedding. I.did a practice session with a bride today and I set her undereye with BenNye, it was nice, until she took a pic with flash. it wasnt pretty. I suggest that you use a regular setting powder.

Ben Nye is great for setting powder, however, not for a wedding. when taking pictures, it will make your makeup appear grayish
