Absolutely love it! Packaging needs improvement.

I absolutely LOVE this setting powder. I am using it after my skin tint with SPF. I use a very clean skin tint from a high end brand (won’t mention here as it would be inappropriate) and, because it’s got mineral SPF in it, the product is wonderful but it runs very shiny - not dewy looking but greasy looking. I was about to stop using my skin tint with SPF all together because of this issue, but after trying out THIS setting powder from Prada on top of my SPF I immediately fell in love with it!!! I use a brush that has very, very, soft and airy bristles to take the powder from it and apply it in patting motions to absorb the “oil” from the skin tint. Then I glide the brush throughout all areas I want with a little more powder in it and don’t look like I’m wearing powder at all!!! It is so natural. It simply mattifies the areas I want, without making my face looks heavy or dry. Absolutely beautiful. I took one star off because the packaging, although gorgeous, is too lightweight and feels super plasticky. Not something I was expecting when I bought such expensive item. I hoped it would be something heavier, maybe made of metal (specially as it is refillable). Prada should improve the materials they use on their makeup IMO.

Smells amazing wish scent lasted longer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried this makeup primer and had mixed feelings. Right out of the bottle, the scent was absolutely lovely — fresh, clean, and just a little sweet without being overpowering. It gave me that spa-like feeling while applying it, which I really appreciated during my morning routine. However, the scent faded almost immediately after application. While that’s not necessarily a deal-breaker for me, I was hoping it would linger just a bit longer since it was so pleasant. If you’re someone who prefers your makeup products to be fragrant throughout the day, this one might fall short. As for performance, it applied smoothly and gave a decent base for my foundation, but the standout for me was definitely the scent — even if it didn’t stick around for long. Rating: 3.5/5 — Smells amazing, but wish the fragrance lasted!
