Battle of the drugstore setting powder: Nyx
vs Maybelline.
Hello my loves! It has been awhile but your girl is back for
good. I recently picked up the Maybelline master fix setting + perfecting loose
powder. I feel like this is one of the first actually setting powders in the
drugstore that has the silicone feel besides the elf HD powder. We ain’t even
gonna drag her into this one though. On my way home I was thinking hmmm I wonder
how this compares to the Nyx HD studio finishing powder.
.I have been testing out the Maybelline one
out for a good two weeks now. When I first heard about this product it was on
iheartmakeup92’s YouTube channel. When she was working with Maybelline, she
brought up how they should make a product similar to the Laura Mercier secret
brightening powder. Now I do not own that so I cannot compare but that got me
all hyped up. I have tried baking and just setting my face with this powder.
While this powder does feel nice on the face, you cannot bake with it. IT doesn’t
have that white effect that normal loose powders do. I tried multiple times and
it just was not working. This does have a nice finish to just set your overall
makeup. The packaging is a black cap with a clear bottom. Now what pisses me
off about this product is the sifter. The part to get product out is in one
small section. I have to really shake it and get product everywhere to get it
out. If the sifter was a little bigger, it would be much more convenient. At Walmart
this retails for $9 and you get 0.21 ounces of product. I would give it an 8/10.
I bought my Nyx powder at a store called
peebles for $10.99 for 0.21 ounces. I honestly really like this powder. IT is
silicone based so if you do not like that feel then do not buy it. It does not
have any white cast on your face in flash photography. But like the Maybelline one,
you cannot bake without which does suck. The packaging is the same as the Maybelline
one but the sifter is bigger! I do still have to shake the product out a bit
but it does not go everywhere due to it being bigger I would give this a
9.5/10.
So which wins? I personally prefer the Nyx
one but if you cannot get your hands on it, the Maybelline one is just as
great.
What would you like to see next?
