I discovered this product through Skinsort because I wanted to test how well it could recommend potential products. I have to say, I was impressed with this match up. It's a nice translucent setting powder(doesn't even show up on my dark skin), somehow cooling and hydrating at the same time, and it doesn't irritate my skin. It does a wonderful job with setting my concealer in place. It's priced fairly well, but I think that depends on the distributer you order these from. I'm happy to say that I can see this replacing my e.l.f. setting powder!
