Being thin means the capacity is small, so it runs out quickly. But it's not even inexpensive.

The formula is finely milled, so there's no caking when applied. It's great for controlling oil and has good coverage too. It's thin and portable, and the case is sleek.

There is some powder clumping, so you need to smooth it out from within the powder.

When finishing your makeup, gently patting on some pressed powder will help your makeup last longer and look better.

If you apply a bit of oil first and then the product on top, it becomes much more hydrating and you need to use less.

The powder crumbles after a while of use. It would be great if there were two cushions included. It's expensive.

I've been using this product exclusively since trying it once. The coverage is amazing, even concealing pores. After applying, my face looks radiant.

It had a bit of a heavy feel, and if I sweated even a little or my skin got a bit dry, the makeup would just fall apart.

The powder in shade 23 matched my skin tone perfectly, and no matter how much concealer I applied to the areas that wouldn't cover, it always provided full coverage.

- Face becomes quite dry
- Applies thickly (gives a heavily made-up look)
- Contains no pore-blocking ingredients, yet strangely feels like pores are clogged and small bumps appear frequently (seems to be a common trait of MAC base products)
- The built-in puff is uncomfortable and the user experience is not good.
- The structure of placing the puff directly on top of the product contents increases the possibility of contamination, and if you want to use it hygienically, you have to rely on the thin built-in plastic sheet to separate the contents and the puff, which is inconvenient.

- Excellent coverage for pores and blemishes
- Soft and clean finish
- Affordable price compared to brand name value

Could you please recommend a good talc-free shading powder?
It's really hard to find talc-free powder products these days.
Lately, I haven't been doing any shading and just walk around looking all puffy and swollen haha.

This product has shown me that I don't get along with talc.
It comes up all bumpy and uneven.
It comes up way too much, and I don't even know where to start squeezing it out, and when I do, it just won't come out.
Ah, I guess this is what it means when a product doesn't agree with you - it comes up in bumps.
Just in case, I used it a few more times, but it only got even more bumpy and uneven...

It's a gift for my mom haha I only used it three times.

The powder performs its core function well.
When applied with a brush, it spreads thinly and evenly.

The coverage was lacking and I used a shade that was darker than my skin tone

The powder was finely milled and had good adherence. I would consider repurchasing!! Haha

After doing my whole base routine, just a few pats with the included puff really helps smooth out my pores and provides great coverage.

Using a brush gives a more lightweight application, so I can adjust the look depending on how I'm feeling that day.

The plastic film... so annoying! 
Every time I have to peel it off, and it's cut exactly to the size of the product, so I have to use my fingers to get it out, which can be a bit tricky.

It's a neutral skin type that gets a bit oily in the summer and slightly dry in the winter. I bought this as a finishing product.
It seems to really control oil well, and
the coverage... well, I don't have a lot that needs covering, but what I do have gets covered pretty well.

When I dab it on with the included puff, the finish looks amazing!
Using a brush gives a lighter finish, while patting it on with the puff creates a more polished look.

I got the NC30 shade since I tan easily in the summer. It's a warm beige tone that matches my skin well. It has a strong yellow undertone, which works great for my current warm-toned complexion.

When purchasing, use direct import or duty-free shops, and use a Daiso powder brush to pat it on evenly. The puff that comes with it...just throw it away...it's really useless haha.

It's expensive to buy at the department store, and the amount isn't that much either, so I go through it quickly..Other than that, it's great and doesn't cause any issues on my face.

I used to use Innisfree's No-Sebum as a pore cleansing product, but it was inconvenient to use, so as a makeup lover, I decided to try this product and I love it!!! When I used the No-Sebum, my makeup would get messy and break down, but with Estée Lauder Double Wear + Pressed Powder, my makeup becomes lighter and looks prettier (?) and more natural. So I've been using this product for about 2 years now. And it's not just one color, there are different shades from light to medium to dark, so you can find the one that matches your skin tone well.

Since it's a powder product, it can be a bit drying, so I had to change my skincare routine. Also, the first ingredient being talc may be a concern for those who closely scrutinize product ingredients.

Using a good brush allows for very smooth and even application. It serves as a great base for setting liquid foundation, as well as for applying powder blush, contour, and highlight in a well-blended manner. The case is also very well-made, and despite being used for almost a year and frequently bumped, the contents remained unbroken, which I was pleased about. Buying one lasts a very long time, so it seems to have good value for money. As long as the brush is kept clean, there were no issues with breakouts or other side effects.

I don't like the scent of this product ㅠㅠ It's a rose scent, but not a refreshing rose scent, it's more of a heavy(?) rose scent. And the built-in puff is inconvenient to use. Also, there's no middle protective cap, and it's just a thin film(?), so it's a bit inconvenient to use.

I've tried many famous pressed powders, but they always emphasized my flaky skin, so I stopped using them after a few times. My friend said this product is really good, so I bought it, and there's no flaky skin issue!!! I really like it.
