I only use face powder on really humid days because I find that I don't really need it most of the time, I'm glad I came across this because Durbans humidity makes it a must have! Other powders I tried in the past would look cakey and give me a ghostly look but this one is just the opposite,doing its job by helping my makeup stay put whilst adding a natural glow. Lasts about 6 hours before I need to touch up.
