I just ran out of my smashbox halo perfecting powder :( I did love that stuff but it is a little pricey. Does anyone know of any other good ones? I use the ELF translucent powder everyday with my BB cream but I like to have a low end a a mid-high end version of everything :)

I did a training for smashbox and youre actually not suppose to buff halo on. The formula is highly active itself and buffing it will make it shiny. Lightly dust it on and layer for coverage! Im super oily and i had the same problem. It was laying in my traincase almost a year until i learned how to use it now i LOVE it !
