I use this powder to set my liquid foundation (Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation) and to get just that bit more coverage.

The powder comes in a very smart little gold and black compact which includes a good sized mirror and a sponge for easy application. The powder itself is fine and silky and goes onto the skin very easily without looking patchy or dry. For a powder, it gives good coverage. My liquid foundation on its own doesn't really conceal the redness around my nose, but when I add the Facefinity Powder the coverage is really quite good and actually looks like skin rather than slightly wet liquid foundation. When it comes to concealing under eye bags, this compact really can't be faulted, providing a flawless, bright, luminous finish.

The wearability is acceptable. After a few hours it does start to look a little blotchy. I've had mine for months and you can barely tell I've used any of the powder, which is quite surprising considering there's not a huge amount of powder in there.

I'd definitely recommend Max factor Facefinity Compact. It's a little on the steep side in terms of price, but it's a very reliable, easy to apply and effective foundation.
