MUA Makeup Academy Ultra Fine Loose Setting Powder Review

Hi Guys,

Whenever summers are around the corner we all need something to keep our makeup in place. There are loads of compacts and loose powders available in the market but we always get confused. I’m head over heels with this MUA Loose Powder. Let’s see how the product is!

Price: Rs.360 (approx) or 4 pounds for 18g!

Claims: Weightless,silky smooth loose powder for all skin tones. The delicate, colourless powder applies with an invisible finish over foundation and concealer to set and prolong makeup wear. The lightweight formula creates smooth, radiant skin, blends, effortlessly and removes any excess shine for a professional, even finish.

Ingredients: Silica

Packaging & Texture: The product comes in a small jar. The cover of the jar is of black colour and the jar is transparent. The jar has a plastic lid which has holes in it for the powder to come out which creates a mess sometimes like any other loose powder jar. The plastic lid can be removed as well, if you want to use large quantities of powder. The texture of the powder is very soft and lightweight.

Experience: I just love this loose powder. Although,it isn’t available in India but you can always get them from any instagram store. The powder is very finely milled so it doesn’t look powdery on face at all. But sometimes it tends to dry out my skin because I have combination skin , so my dry areas get a lil bit exaggerated in winters but in summers it works absolutely fine. If you’re from oily skin family, then you’re gonna totally dig it. The finish of the product is super amazing. It removes excess shine from the face and helps the makeup stay for a long time. Whenever I apply this to my undereyes, my concealer stays put longer. It just mattifies and air-brushes the skin.What I usually do is, I use facial oil beneath my foundation and illuminating primer so as to make my base dewy and after that I go with the translucent powder which mattifies the skin so beautifully without making my skin dry or exaggerating the dry patches. After using this powder, my skin looks legit flawless even in from a close-up look.

Pros:

  • Softly milled
  • Flawless finish
  • Affordable
  • Huge qty
  • Not powdery
  • Mattifies

Cons:

  • A bit drying
  • Not available in India

Rating: 4/5

I literally love this product! If you are thinking to buy it, then go for it! It’s worth the money! It does give a little bit of white cast, if flash is used during photography but if you set your face with a mist, you won’t get it much. It’s perfect for baking, and the qty of 18g will last you forever.
