My Ride or Die Makeup Product

Here’s how I came across it:

I came across this product by accident more than a year ago when I walked into Sephora with 1 mission in mind; to solve my oily t-zone! Before discovering this product, I could put on my daily skincare and minimal makeup, walk out the door feeling fantastic only to find that my t-zone became oily within 2 or 3 hours.

I started sourcing setting powders and many of my friends recommended Innisfree’s no sebum mineral powder. Though this worked well, it didn’t last long. Within 3 to 4 hours, my t-zone became oily again. Reapplying the powder on top of my oily skin only gave me small whiteheads and pimples at the end of the day which would then take about 2 days for me to cure. I did more research and headed to Sephora. I wasn’t sure what to search for as I didn’t have much experience with makeup at the time. I headed for the Laura Mercier shelf to try their mineral finishing powder which had great reviews!  I didn’t dislike it but I also wasn’t blown away. I kept searching.

I walked over to the Makeup Forever shelf which was a brand few of my friends ever mentioned. I saw they had several options and the words “Ultra HD” really stood out to me. I picked up the product and my first thought was that I loved the packaging; really sturdy and of a good size. I opened it up, touched the powder and fell in love…

Why I love it:

• My face stays matte ALL DAY LONG.
• The texture is SO SOFT and LIGHT, almost like air.
• It sets my makeup beautifully without looking cake-y.
• I could use it, go for an important event in the sun and not have to worry that my makeup would melt off my face.
• It is translucent and can be used by all skin colours/ tones.
• A little goes a long way. I touch my makeup brush in some product and knock it off until it’s barely visible and apply it to my face.

Don’t take my word for it.
