Prime Primer Finish Powder
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Banila Co Prime Primer Finish Powder is a loose powder with a very fine, almost icing-sugar texture that blurs pores and mattifies skin. Professional makeup artist CYoung warns it's easy to over-apply, creating a "powder bomb" if not controlled, and recommends it for oily-combo skin. Beauty creator JUDY notes it feels chalky and clings to dry patches, questioning whether it deserves its number-one status.
