RCMA Setting Powder Help!!

Aug 22, 2015

Hi All,

I just purchased the RCMA setting powder that gets such rave reviews and I feel like there is something wrong with me because I hate it! I feel like it makes me look deathly just like every "no color" setting powder I've tried. Is it possible I just don't like the matte look it gives you and I'm confusing that for a ghostly look? Am I using it wrong somehow? I have been applying it with a powder puff after my foundation, concealer, cream products. Does anybody have any tips or advice for me? 

Thanks!

I like using a Wayne Goss brushes either #11 or 2. with a light hand. Have you tried a brush instead of a puff?

I just use it very lightly I love it so much I don't use a heavy hand at all it's just lightly setting my foundation.

I have dry skin and apply a minimal amount using my Rae Morris Brush #22, it doesn't make my foundation matte at all unless I apply more. I use a really light hand with this brush and setting powder.

@ Jacqueline H. - I'm not sure "ghostly" is really the right word. I just feel like it makes my skin look really dull with no life or vibrancy. I'll do my foundation and really like the way it looks, glowy and radiant, and then I apply powder and it kills that look, making it look flat.
