I tried a popular budget setting powder but it was such a fail… people say it’s my fault and they might be right
A BEAUTY fan has shared an honest review of a popular supermarket setting powder, which left her with major flashback in photos.
Make-up enthusiast Marf Mae (@marfymae), from the UK, suffered the blunder whilst out with her pals in Australia who took snaps of her.
Although in person the beauty enthusiast looked fabulous, the reality was slightly different in the photos taken with flashlight.
There, Marf quickly came to discover that the product she had applied earlier – NYX Professional Make-up Studio Finishing Powder – left her with white under-eyes.
Mortified, she desperately attempted to rub it off – but sadly, with no luck.
”It looks like you’ve got sunscreen under your eyes,” joked one of her friends in the background.
”That is so weird – it is not going,” another could be heard saying in the video.
According to Marf, who described the evening as ”chaos”, she had used the powder before heading out to ‘bake’ the make-up.
But soon, people on TikTok shared their guesses as to why the flop had taken place – and they all insisted it had been Marf’s fault.
One explained in detail: ”Tip for the girlies, this is a finishing powder NOT SETTING.
”It’s meant to have flashback because you should only apply a thin layer where you want a blurring effect in your pictures, so do not bake or set your face with this!”
Someone else agreed, writing: ”The difference between a setting powder and an hd finishing powder is huge and important.”

Another reckoned: ”When you sweat sometimes the powder you use to bake will show up like this!
”Make sure your face has no water on it/ makeup not going moving about.”
”We’ve all been there babe,” a fourth joked.
The description of the 3-star product: ”A miracle in a jar! This 100% pure mineral silica finishing powder is perfect for setting your foundation or wearing alone.
”The luminous white powder goes on neutral and works on all skin tones.
”It leaves your skin looking radiant and luminous.
”Use lightly… a little goes a long way.”
