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

Pros
I've been using this product exclusively since trying it once. The coverage is amazing, even concealing pores. After applying, my face looks radiant.
Cons
The powder crumbles after a while of use. It would be great if there were two cushions included. It's expensive.
Tip
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.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

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

Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Tip
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.

Pros
It's really great. It's the best among the facts I've tried. Some people said it doesn't control the oil well, but even though I'm a very oily person, this one really controls the oil well and I liked it. The best thing is... I didn't use other facts or powders much because I really disliked the characteristic thick makeup expression, but this one is really light! It applies lightly, but it controls the oil and maintains the makeup well, so it's good.
Cons
I've never used it because the built-in puff looks really bad, but aside from that and the plastic cover on top, I'm satisfied. It would be good if they sold this as a refill too, but that's a bit disappointing.
Tip
I don't like the built-in puff, so I apply it with a sponge (usually for foundation). I bought it at MAC and the person who helped me there recommended using a sponge, so after buying it, I tried it that way and it's good!

Pros
I heard that it only absorbs oil without coverage, but it actually has quite good coverage. The presence or absence of darkening is really important, and I'm so glad there's no darkening. The staying power is also good. The pore coverage, which is so important, is really well covered, even better than Maepo.
Cons
Since it's combination skin, my cheeks are completely matte when I look in the mirror at night, and my makeup is the same in the morning, but my nose and forehead have become a bit oily. I didn't touch up all day.
Tip
The performance is good, the price is cheap, and it's Back to Mac compatible, so I really like it.

Pros
As someone with oily skin, I usually don't pay much attention to coverage, and I prefer a more lightweight finish. This product worked well for me - it gave a radiant and soft look.
Cons
It wore off faster than expected, and the plastic-like coverage felt uncomfortable. The included puff was just so-so.
Tip
This would be a good option for those who like to achieve a soft, powdery finish to their makeup.

Pros
It covers smoothly and softly. The lasting power is also good, and it adheres to the skin without peeling off. I prefer matte, and it expresses matte+smooth skin surface, which is great.
Cons
Those with dry skin may not suit it very well...??

It does a great job of absorbing oil and giving a radiant glow, I really like it.
Cons
There is an inner plastic lining in the sheet mask, which is a bit inconvenient.
