Solved: Re: Loose Finishing Powder - Page 2

what is this, is it 100% silica powder? I like Bye Bye Pores and really, it lasts forever for me, but I wouldn't mind one of these RCMA as a refill. But not if it isn't exactly the same stuff. I don't want to spend even $10 on something I don't like.

I love a loose finishing powder. As previously mentioned I too am a fan of Laura Mercier in this category. Her translucents are undetectible even on women of color.

I think you should just stick with your expensive prestige brands.

There's no directions on the packaging for the RCMA products as it's a professional line.

The ingredients are silica, calcium oxide, talc and magnesium oxide. It is a professional product so it's no frills but it is very nice. No color or pigments so it does not oxidize and it really inexpensive. It is not 100% silica. If that is what you are looking for I think Elf has one for a couple of dollars.

I use the RCMA: $10.00 for 3 ozs! Buy it from Beautylish or their own website. I just looked it up and some folks are marking it waaay up on ebay

no frills packaging.

Tarte has one that I received a sample of and it's just as good only it costs $33.00 for .32 oz!!! That's a really huge difference!!

Ditto!! I just recently was able to get my hands on this and It. Is. The. Bomb. It's soooo inexpensive, too, especially for an amazing quality product!

I have this one and like it but honestly prefer the Laura Mercier translucent. They last for so long that I don't mind a splurge once in a while.

For me, to RCMA sets my MU and keeps it there for longer than the LM. I bought the LM based upon rave reviews everywhere, but the RCMA works better for me.

It is!! I mean, I LIKE the LM, but this performs much better on my skin and is much les in price per oz. It's a winner!

I still use MV from BE. It seems like I will never run out because I have many that were part of TVS through the years.
