Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder

by B. Donnici

I'm 55, and for the last couple of years I've tried to stay away from powders. However, I do like the finished look of a loose powder and it certainly "sets" your liquid foundation to make it last longer. I spent a lot of time (and money!) looking for a nice, finely milled loose powder that would accomplish what I wanted without settling into the cracks & crevices, or making your face look dull and lifeless!

Based on some reviews, blogs, etc. on the internet, I finally tried Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder. This truly is magic! It is a dry powder but when you dust it on your face it feels like you just used a very cooling spritzer. It sets your foundation (makes it last hours longer); your face looks very "finished" and has a very subtle glow (glow ... not shine).

It diffuses light so it consequently camouflages fine lines and pores. It too has a hefty price tag - around $35 for 1.2 oz., however, a very very little goes a very long way so it is definitely worth the cost. I also dust it on my neck and decolletage area.

Another plus, it is truly translucent - doesn't change your foundation shade in the least. It also comes in a red neutralizer formula as well as a deep translucent formula for deeper skin tones. A list of ingredients is on the box, however, it is white lettering on a shiny silver background and these old eyes just can't read most of it!
