BH Cosmetics Studio Pro Matte Finish Pressed Powder Shade 240

I used to adore wearing powder makeup, but then 45 came along and all bets were off :(. Powder and mature skin do not always get along. :DI love this powder. I would definitely say that it is a dupe for M a c (mineralze powder, which i also have). I got this BH powder in color 215originally when I saw it for a good price on Amazon. I had actually wanted the lighter color, 205, but it was more expensive at the time so I got 215 thinking maybe it's good enough. And it totally was, lol. It was great for summer when I'm slightly darker. Or maybe I just want a little more color? I'm very pale, with a cool neutral tone.So I recently just saw that the original color I wanted, (the lightest ,205) was at a great price, so I grabbed it quickly from Amazon. I think it looks perfect! I will use the 215 in summer time or maybe as a touch of bronzer. But right now in winter, I'm going to use the 205. I recently got color matched and got a package of the M a c mineralized skinfinish in color " medium Plus", And I feel these are very comparable in quality and coverage and color.This powder is so soft and light-textured, it just floats on, is not clumpy or cakey. It does not make me look all chalky and dry. it is just so nice!! I have said i have dry skin, but if i do have a touch of oily skin, this keeps it at bay. I wil often use a face oil as moisturizer and then put this powder on top a minute after the oil settles.: Works great.I am 47, have dry skin, little to no acne, if that helps with deciding. Again, I'm very fair (or pale? Whichever is cool tone, lol) I would use a "creamy natural" in drug store brands, a level 10 or 20 in Neutrogena.I had pictures in my firstly attempted review, but the review didnt get accepted...i'll try to include pictures at some point. Amazon did not like my review and wouldnt let me post, i'm not sure why since it is not profane or inappropriate in my opinion.

I had finally hit pan on my MAC Studio fix powder and I didn’t feel like shelling out close to 30$ for a new compact. I saw that this product was recommended by a YouTuber so for 8$ I decided to give it a try.Honestly I’d say this is the best dupe you’re going to find! I attached photos of my MAC compact in NC-30 and the BH compact in #230. The powders look (slightly) different in pan, the MAC having a little bit more of a warmer/yellow tone to it , but when swatched they’re actually pretty identically. #230 is slightly lighter than NC-30. I’d say it’s like a NC-28 if that exists. I doubt when applied you’d be able to tell a difference between the BH&MAC. I’d say if you’re a anywhere from a NC25/NC30 go for #230. The BH compact feels more powderey where as the Mac compact feels more “creamy”. I believe that’s because the MAC compact you’re able to apply wet, which makes the formula means they had to make the formula more creamy. I’m not sure if you can apply the BH compact wet, But the BH Compact is very pigmented. A small swipe of your finger will show pigment , I had to press harder in my MAC compact to get a good swatch as opposed to the BH one. If you’re looking for a good dupe and want to pay half the price , go with this product!

The product is good but not the color I ordered. The one send to is very light

I took a risk with a pressed powder. I’m used to it being cakey and finding every nook and cranny to settle in. It didn’t happen with this. I also expected the color to be far too dark for my fair skin. I have the most difficult time finding matching skin products. I went with the lightest shade and it is perfect. It also goes on satin smooth. I really am shocked this works for me so far! I’ll update should anything change. So far, I’m loving this natural look and light feel.I wore a concealer under my eyes to cover my tired eyes. The rest of my face I lightly dusted this powder. It’s highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.

This is super dark and honestly made me look orange. I usually wear a natural color or a light natural. This was way too dark. I don’t recommend. It could honestly be bronzer.

Love this powder and the price is unbeatable!! The color was a little darker than I expected especially when you use it with foundation. But I've used this alone without foundation and the color looks great. I was surprised that I didn't have to reapply during the day and the coverage lasted all day and pretty much stayed matte considering I have oily skin. I am a Latina with olive skin tone and I purchased the #230 and I would like to order the #215. I would say that this is almost an exact dupe for the MAC Studio Fix Powder but cost a fraction of the price. This is awesome. I will definitely be order more BH Cosmetics!!! No doubt

Bought this as an affordable and cruelty-free alternative to Mac Studio fix which I’ve been wearing for 10+ years. I wear NC25 in Mac & bought a #230 in BH. Very similar in packaging and finish/feel/application of product, but BH is significantly more sheer and powdery with a light to barely medium coverage that is not buildable. Also #230 is a bit too orange & dark for me, and Mac’s NC25 matches me perfectly. If it weren’t for the powdery light coverage, I’d try a #215, but it just doesn’t cover what Studio Fix does in one application (redness and small blemishes) so I prob will go back to Mac until I can find a better dupe. If you have flawless skin already, you might be happy.

This stuff is amazing! I have dry skin and a lot of powders make my foundation flake and peel but this one didn't. In the past MAC and my skin haven't gotten along too well so I cant compare it to the studio plus but I think it's amazing. I take it to school with me for touch-ups too and my makeups been staying on a lot better
