This isn't my favourite powder, for some reason no matter how little I put on, it never looks good, I feel it just sits on top of my skin and gives me a powdery, chalky look no matter how I buff it. I'm not a big fan of the packaging, the lids quite cheap and looks like it could crack easily if I kept it in my handbag.Even though the price is good, I just think there's better drug store powders out there.

My face is extremely oily, especially around the T-Zone. I would be lost without this product! It controls oil and shine all day, even when the weather is stinking hot - without settling into fine lines or caking. It doesn't cost the earth and lasts a long time. Don't be fooled by the packaging (it looks quite ordinary) because for me, it truly is a superior makeup necessity.

This product works wonders. Great to keep in your bag when you are out and about to keep your face looking matte, especially during the summer months. It doesn't leave your face looking cakey. The only complaint I have about this product is the packaging, it feels a bit cheap but I think considering the price point I can definitely overlook that

I bought the Maybelline Matte Maker Powder when I had run out my usual powder and this one was on sale. It comes in two shades, Natural beige and classic Ivory. I have the classic Ivory. My skin is pale, and I tend to have a very oily nose by the end of the day. Maybelline recommends that you apply the powder by using gentle downward strokes. I’m guessing as to not encourage that ‘fuzzy’ look some powders can give you. I recommend you use this powder before you do your contour/blush because the product pressed directly on the skin will somewhat ‘whiten’ the area and no one wants to ruin all that hard work! This product does make your skin matte, with the exception of my super oily nose, (but that’s only after about 6 hours so that's nothing to complain about.) The thing I have noticed about this product though is that it does seem to emphasise all those little white hairs! Not a good look.What it does function well as though, is a highlighter/concealer setting powder.I will keep using it because it does work pretty well to keep my skin matte, doesn't settle into any of my acne scars, and lasts pretty much all day, but I think I will check out a different brand once this one runs out.

definitely not a fan now
II bought Maybelline matte Maker for the first time this afternoon! No matter how I try I CANNOT get the lid off. I have screwed the lid both ways, scored around the top and bottom with a knife, stuck it under hot water in case it was a vacuum sealed. So much for a well known brand NOTHING will move the lid.I guess I;ll never find out how good/bad Maybelline is

This powder is excellent. It's cheap and does exactly what a powder should. I use the lightest shade which is close to translucent. I set my foundation and concealer with this and it does not budge throughout the day. If you have darker skin tones it could be used to set and add a highlighted effect. Highly recommend this product.

Not great
I bought this and have been using this for a few months as it's one of the lightest powders i can get at a reasonable price, but it is definitely not for me. Must be for very oily skin- it accentuates the slightest dry patches, looks very powdery and transfers terribly. will not be buying again
