I've been using the RCMA powder since I bought it last year. ITA that this is a great powder. It's so affordable, and I don't think I've heard any bad reviews on it. I do use my ByTerry Hydra powder under my eyes because it smooths out any fine lines I have, but that's the only area I use it. It's pricey, but worth it for me.

Yes, makeup will rub off. You might want to try a stain blush... I use Benetint from Benefit, and I set it with a light dusting of powder blush or bronzer. That's the only way I get my color to stay on most, if not all, of the day.

I can't help you with the CC.

@eemapo Why are you wiping your makeup with the tissue? Are you patting it to blot shine? There are options for you. The CC that you are using may be too emollient for your skin. You may be using too much moisture under your CC. You may need a powder over the CC to set if. Can you tell us more about your products & how you are using them & what you are wanting?

@eemapo I think I might know what you may be doing -- I use a tissue after applying a tinted moisturizer (or foundation) to gently wipe off a little to give a more natural look (for me). I pass the tissue very lightly over my face, though. I'm not sure if you're using the tissue for the same reason I am, but if so, try a lighter touch with the tissue.

@ALRATIBA, a damp wash cloth? no need for that...Your much better off using a Rose Petal Water Mist which will give you a more natural looking finish. (I use Heritage Rose petal) Mac Fix plus will set your makeup and also give you a subtle glow.

Thanks for suggetion. But - I have severe allergy issues and I'd rather not take a risk and use anything other than water. I've been doing this for 50+ years and it works for me.
