I've never been one to set my face with powder as I have pretty normal skin, but it does get a bit oilier in the summer so I decided to give this a try. First, it's really small and compact (and even comes with it's own puff inside to my surprise!) so it would be great for traveling. The powder itself is white, but it just disappears into your skin after you put it on. To be honest, I don't know if you could notice a difference in my skin because I don't really need to set my foundation, but I can see it being great for someone with oilier skin whose foundation tends to rub off!
