Most Helpful Positive Review Recommended My face is very oily so I'm always trying new products to keep the shine at bay. I have used different setting powders including YoungBlood, Laura Mercier, Sasha Buttercup, Urban Decay De-slick Mattifying Powder and Dermablend setting powder. I find that the Cover FX setting powder gives me the best finished look from the bunch. I'm a nc45 complexion in Mac and use the Medium Deep setting powder from Cover FX.
Most Helpful Critical Review Yuck This powder did not work for me. It broke up my foundation and held onto dry spots. This isn't as finely milled as my tarte and JS cosmetics powder.
I'm sure it would work better for someone with oily skin but I didn't think it would be this bad for dry/combo. I see a lot of people love it and maybe it's the foundation that doesn't mix well but I'm not giving up my double wear so this one is at the bottom of the bag and I let my son play with it when I have to give him something to put on while he gets ready with me.

Favorite 5
M from Atlanta
This is definitely my favorite powder! I don't like it as much under my eyes, but it's beautiful on the rest of my face! I feel like it adds a bit of coverage as well!
Love the powder but.. 4
RaeRae from York, Pa
This is the best face powder to date! It doesn't make me look like a ghost. It stays and locks in my concealer However the smell is awful. It takes getting use to.
Best powder ever 5
Alessandra from Palm Bay, FL
Used this to set my concealer and omg transfer who??? No greasiness or creasing occurred! After I set my face with spray, my makeup was LOCKED in place and no there was no transfer on my mask.
Matte Setting Powder 5
teragram from California
I felt silly paying this much for a setting powder - was it really that much better than a drug store version? Honestly, YES. The difference in quality is very apparent. I'm so pleased to have finally found a talc-free powder that keeps my skin matte but not flat-looking. I don't wear foundation but have oily skin, so I pat this onto my t-zone with a fluffy brush after my morning skin care routine and primer and BOOM, I look professional, shine-free, pore-free etc. love this product and will repurchase.
I love this product! 5
M.C. from Mission, Tx
I love this product. It really helps mattify my face and helps set my foundation.
would not buy again 3
TR from Texas
1) the packaging is a mess. cant get any product out without losing half of it or getting it all over yourself.
2) did not see any significant difference in controlling my oil on my tzone. I was very very hopeful and this was a huge letdown.
matte setting powder 4
medusa from new orleans
a favorite for sure. i dont use powder as much now that i don't go for a super matte finish, but i do use it when i need my face to last all day. the finish it more a natural matte and it really smooths out acne scarring. it's lightweight too. i think the shade is pretty forgiving as well. i ordered the light instead of medium by mistake but it didn't look off at all.
Perfect for dry skin 5
Debby from Riverside CA
I have extremely dry skin and most powders dry me out this one doesn't dry me out at all .if you have dry skin and are having trouble finding a powder definitely check this one out. it leaves my skin nice and smooth plus no flash back

Sales associate highly recommended this product for my skin tone! Got home tried it's too dark for me! I live 2 hours away from Ulta store to return! Not happy
Cover FX 5
C from Ca
I have used LM setting powder that so many rave is a HG, but Cover FX beats it effortlessly! It doesn't leave any trace of a cast or look like it just sits on my face how LM did because of the Talc. It dissolves kindly into skin and leaves my under eye looking well concealed and hydrated. Love it !!!
best setting powder to help control my oils! 4
beachmom19 from dmv
I have the Tarte setting powder that only comes un translucent or deep and in comparison Cover FX is much better. I do however think they need a light-medium shade. I got the medium and I can only use it when I am my summer shade...ergo my 4 stars or else it would've had 5 stars! A must need for the oily skinned!!

LOVE 5
Girlfriend from Philly
I love this powder. I have oilier skin with large pores. This goes on beautifully and keeps my makeup in place. It also hashed my face looking like an oil slick after a long day at work. I also feel like it also helps blur my pores. This is a really nice powder. I have used quite a few of products like this and I would recommend this over many of them
I wanted to like this 2
ShantillyLace from SC
Beautiful finish and color (translucent) but it didn't control my oil at all. I tried with several foundations, but it just didn't hold up on me. Also the packaging was fussy and messy. Had to return.
The best! 5
Heather00 from Midwest
I have tried so many setting powders...from cheap to high end. This is by far my absolute favorite! It perfectly sets your makeup, leaving an airbrushed look. It does not look heavy. It has a fantastic matte finish, but will not leave your skin looking dull. I have very fair skin, and the light color worked for me. I'm done searching. This is it.
Oily skin must have! 5
Aud from Texas
I have tried so many powders, this is the first one I actually LOVED. The perfect setting powder that cover fx has is okay.... this is definitely better. Do your face a favor and buy this!

Way to go! I barely received my package and it doesn't even close well and they didn't even fill up the powder what happened to it? SMH
YES! YES! YES! ALL KINDS OF YES! 5
Jillynina from Santa Clarita
I search high and low for this sucker! Sold out everywhere. Bought other ones more expensive and less expensive than this and let me tell you none of it worked! Finally found this here and will forever use it! Also it's Talc free! AWESOME!
Better than Laura mercier 5
Krissy from Mass
Love love love I use this and the urban decay setting spray for oily skin. Best part it's paraben free unlike Laura Mercier setting powder !
BEST 5
Brandy R from Edinburg VA
I've used so many setting powders and let me tell YOU. This is the best one I've used!!! I baked with this and set my concealer with it and it didn't crease nor did it make any of my makeup look cakey at all. It made my face look matte and so good. Will be buying this again so I have more when my other runs out. Definitely give this a try!!!
Needs more shades! 4
MCLW from Frederick, MD
I bought this product with high hopes because of the great reviews. I think it is a decent product, however I was a bit frustrated that the 'medium' shade is a little too dark! The 'light' is too light -- so I didn't want to purchase that. It may be best to use when I have a little color in the summer, however, disappointed that there isn't a "light-medium" or something like that for an in between option. Other than that, it feels good, goes on easily and covers well.
Perfect 5
Clurrie from Michigan
I use a beauty sponge to apply this too my face and it really does leave an amazing, matte finish! This is what I was looking for. I wish more people knew about it! I will definitely repurchase. This is worth every penny!

Amazing matte setting powder!! 5

Love, love, love! Perfect oil control in a setting powder! Another favorite of mine! Really mattes you down but doesn't dry you out!
