GRWM Cosmetics’ Powder Rush

Did you know? A setting powder can determine your beauty routine, especially if you have oily skin. A game of Jili’s odds is worse than this, though – especially if you’re looking for something entry-level and affordable. If you’ve got more bang for your buck, we’d like to introduce you to the GRWM Cosmetics’ Powder Rush, a well-loved powder. 

A lot of product development went into the creation of this powder. Skin-blurring, long-wearing, and relatively compact, the ingredients also include Kaolin clay, which helps manage sebum and control the oil production in the skin. Eight (8) different shades are available, and according to undertone, too.
