Silica Powders: MUFE, snow, Kiko and ELF in comparison

Then, we start to say a few words on the famous powder of silicon that rages so among us all.
E 'of a particular product, not to be considered "all day". This disturbs me, because once put on the market by Kiko became practically accessible to all, even those that have never posed the question of what kind of product and consider it a simple powder.
And it is not.
say that the tangible result of the application is perfect. It makes the skin smooth as silk, not change the color of makeup is perfectly transparent, hide any sign of pores and has a powerful control of the shiny areas, absorbing excess sebum.
really spectacular.

Problems arise on two fronts:
1. The flash . Although the HD MUFE has been designed for professional makeup, has a strange reaction to the flash. Had turned a bit 'of time is a photo "fail" by Nicole Kidman, in criticizing her make-up artist because it presented absolutely unsightly white areas. I have no confirmation sure in his case it was this powder, even if it seems she, but I found the same problem as a result and it occurred to me, my friend and a makeup artist after using these powders. ;
2. Not to be used daily or on dry skin . This powder has a powerful control of bright areas, but dry as hell. I have an area that T plump, I use every now and then, over the weekend, or at least once or twice a week and I have big problems, but use it every day, I do not think it would be a wise choice. The skin dries and cracks.
I can only imagine what the result of frequent use on sensitive skin or dry. It should be used sparingly, very much.
Once it is clear these "small" difettucci, we come to confonto between different brands.
Snow Cosmetics: Powder Hollywood
" Format : Large pack of 7 g mineral powder in plastic bottle 30g dispenser with transparent cover with screen printing and holographic . "A Euro 12.90
can buy the mini-size that" contains about 0.7 g of mineral powder in plastic bottle with dispenser 10g transparent, Sifter sealer and cover with holographic screen printing " to 3.90 euros.
INCI: Silica.



Make Up Forever HD High Definition Powder
INCI: Silica
Size: Pack of 10g in plastic bottle with Sifter for the cost of 29.20 Euros (about)





Kiko: Invisible Powder
Inci: silica, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, undecylenoyl glycine, glycine Capryloyl.
Format: The packaging of the powdered mineral foundation is that of Kiko, plastic jar for a 13.5 g cost of 11.90 Euro. Besides the usual Sifter has a lid with the applicator included.






There is also that of ELF, but I have not tried because the incidence and the price did not convince me at all, having also bought the others.
High Definition Powder in the jar of 8g with Sifter and down to 6 Euro.
INCI: Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica


Looking at the incidence is now known as MUFE and Snow are equal, pure silica. Effect: power ... very good result, better control of sebum and lasting for several hours, annoying effect if used frequently high. They are the top two, and, given the price, take the time proossima Snow, I'm sorry to leave my MUFE, but Hollywood is the same and costs a third of the HD.

Kiko : the incidence is clearly different, not only contains silica. At the beginning I did turn up their nose, then testing it I noticed some features that convinced me not a little. Meanwhile, the effect is less than the HD mattificante while remaining quality. Takes less time and has a control on oily skin less shiny. Dry but very much less.
For this reason, it is possible to more frequent use of this powder compared to HD, although never to exceed once a day, sometimes once a week.
Another strength of Kiko: hated the jar with the applicator. A format that hatred in the case of the foundation, since all we use the brush, but in the case of this fine powder is perfect. Si rovescia il barattolo, si apre e si tampona sul viso la polvere, poi si stende con un pennello (perfetto quello della Essence!). Nel caso di questa finissima polvere è il modo più comodo. Con la HD e la Hollywood ogni volta che si preleva il prodotto con il pennello o con il piumino, per quanta attenzione di faccia, la nuvoletta di povere che si alza è inquietante (e non molto sana da respirare). Con il sistema di Kiko è ridotta al minimo. Approved!
 
ELF : non l’ho ancora provata, ma l’inci più a base di dimeticone che di silica mi piace poco, Bisogna ammettere che i siliconi per rendere la pelle liscia e perfetta sono i migliori (basta vedere all the primer, what do you think are meant to give that beautiful smooth skin to smooth?) ... maybe I'll give you a chance with the next order and try, if I will tell you the differences.
conclusions? A fabulous product, a must have. But be used with caution, not only produced on special occasions . The Hollywood is the undisputed, the high price of HD MUFE mate, and its incidence of pure silica. Good to be attached to the product of Hollywood Kiko, who, being less "pure" performance despite the lower, allowing a more frequently (but not too much or you will ruin the skin). Use, as far as I can tell, is totally not recommended for dry and sensitive, highly recommended for oily and impure (being careful to remove make-up well and moisturize your skin when you use it) and I would use it for other only on critical areas where the foundation usually gets to shine after a few hours (in my case usually the nose and cheekbones).
