Mattify! Loose Powder
Price: $7.99
 
What They Say About Product
This amazing translucent powder is a multi-tasker that absorbs oil all day long and keeps makeup looking freshly applied. Mattify! is composed of Kaolin Clay and Cornstarch-two powerful oil-absorbing (yet natural) ingredients found in most oil-absorbent makeup. This light-weight formula is your answer to a shine free complexion. The effect is comparable to that of many Mineral Veils on the Market, but Mattify! is much less expensive, keeps working for hour longer, and is much more gentle to oily and acne prone skin. It works to keep your pores clean-paving the way for a healthier, glowing complexion.

My Thoughts
Overall, I really like this loose powder because it really absorb the oil in my T-zone and make my skin skin-free all day. Even though I had combination skin but my T-zone tends to get oily during the day; therefore this powder helps with the problem. This powder stays on longer than other powder I have used. What I like the most is this powder is very lightweight. This doesn't feel heavy at all when I applied to my face. The powder can also use as a face primer to aid in oil absorption and provide a matte base for makeup. Also after applying, my face isnt ghostly at all. The only problem with this loose powder is that it tends to cling to dry flaked skin. So if you have dry skin flaking skin, remember to put on a good moisturizer or just apply it to area that needs it.

Mattify Bronzer
Price:$5.99
 
What They Say About Product 
Mattify! Bronzer is formulated with the same base as out original Mattify! Loose Powder. This means they have excellent staying powder and will not irritate even the most sensitive of skin types. Dust onto select areas, or all over for a glamorous shine! This medium toned bronzer will look beautiful on any skin tone.

My Thoughts
I don't usually wear bronzer because it looks weird on me but I really like this bronzer. It has this beautiful shine on my face after applying it. I love how it never irritates my skin at all for the whole day. I think just a little of this bronzer is enough because it is very pigmented and beautiful. It will be great to use this as a blush bronzer and not for contouring your face. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Eyeshadows
Price: $4.99 
(Left to Right) Twilight, Summer Storm, Snow Bunny
 
What They Say About Product
Ever notice that your eyeshadow disappears half way through the day? If you have oily skin, this is a common problem. Without the proper base, eyeshadow does not adhere to the skin & as a result, you get streaky shadow that fades fast. Mattify! Eye Shadows all contain the same Kaolin Clay & Corn Starch mixture as original Mattify! Powder-giving them a superb oil absorbing base and staying power. 

My Thoughts
Overall, I like the eye shadows a lot because they are pigmented and long lasting. They can be applied wet or dry. It is also have four different uses like eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, and nail polish. I didn't apply the eyeshadow wet because I think applying it dry is pigmented enough. I love the color Summer Storm and Snow Bunny because Summer Storm is nice medium grey color with shivery sheen. Snow Bunny is gorgeous semi-opaque white with gleaming sparkle. I also get to try out the eye shadow Twilight. Twilight is a midnight black shadow with tiny sparkling hints of blue. Since Twilight is super pigmented, a little bit is enough.

Below is a look I created using all the products. 

First I apply moisturizer all over the face then apply Mattify! Loose Powder on my T-zone to absorb all the oil. Second, I use a purple eyeliner and apply all over the eyelid as a base. After that, I apply Twilight over the base. Third, I apply Summer Storm onto the crease of the eye. I used Snow Bunny as the bottom liner. Fourth, I apply eyeliner and mascara. Then, apply Mattify! Bronzer to the face for a healthy glow. Lastly, apply lipstick and lip gloss.



Bad lighting so you cannot really see the bronzer

Trying to act cute!?
