 Bake & Set Loose Powder Quad

Most Helpful Positive Review

The daily staple I did not know I needed

I received the product for free via BzzAgent from Morphe in exchange for my fair and honest review. I have very fair skin and tested the Bake and Set Loose Powder Quad in Bright Balance. Initially, I was scared to even fully open it, since I could not understand how it would be possible to close sec...urely without a security sticker to cover the openings. However, the plastic wheel is pretty genius. There is a small triangle of holes on each color that line up with the holes in the plastic wheel, so you can easily dispense whatever colors you want. Then, you click it to a setting between two colors where it locks into place with no open holes. You can definitely toss this in your purse without worrying about mixing up all the colors; it is surprisingly secure and solid. When you first open it, there can be some powder stuck to the security sticker, which may end up on your hand. I first tested it by rubbing that extra powder directly on the right side of my face, and I was amazed at the effects. Just powder on a dry face, and it grabbed whatever light was available and made me look healthy with a natural glow. It was like I did not make any effort, and the powder did all the work. The right side of my face looked better the whole night. It was like a light magic filter that showcased all the best bits of my natural skin while blurring and lightly hiding any inconsistent areas. You can definitely use this for specific targeting using each color on a full face. It lets me use foundation without worrying about the cakey, wrinkled look that used to happen every time I used foundation on my 35+ skin. The blur effect basically fully fixes the issues I thought I had with foundation. I am pretty excited to be able to add foundation back into my routine as an option, but honestly, I just love using this product on its own. It is my little magic filter. A lot of the time, I just tap some into my hand and go real lazy with hand application since this powder is so forgiving. It melts into the skin leaving a bit of opacity with just the faintest undertone of whatever colors I mixed. It also lasts longer than any powder or foundation product I've ever tried. You really do only need to apply it once for a full-day look. You do not need to use much powder to get the effect either, and there is a lot of powder in the container, so the quad will last a very, very long time even using it as my main daily look. I have been using it every single day for almost a month now, and if you looked at the container, it seems like it was just opened. There is still so much left. If I forget to wash my face at night and sleep with the Bake and Set powder on, I can still see the magic blur effect the next morning. My white pillow was still fully white too; there was no color transfer to the fabric even with a full night of sleep. It all stayed on my face. Usually, powder falls right off me, but this loose powder really sticks to my skin in the best sort of way. Absolutely wonderful for any day my face decides to give me, with the combo of four, I can easily mix and match the ratios to cover anything that is giving me trouble without actually over-covering it. It brings out the natural beauty of the skin and covers imperfections without irritating it. I went from thinking the Bake and Set quad was a cool idea I probably wouldn't have much use for, to it being an absolutely essential staple of my routine. It gives me options I didn't realize my aging skin could have, and also lets me be lazy and rely on just a quick dusting of powder if I want to go simple. This powder and some sunscreen are all I need, and my skin has never looked better. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Honestly, the Bake and Set quad is a complete and total game-changer.
