As I was looking for a good powder to help me from looking like a sweaty athlete (which I am definitely not), I found this Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Pact in Althea. My skin may be dry, but my sweat glands want to confuse me and made me think that I was oily. Thanks to the people of Linea Organica by enlightening me on my true skin condition.
Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Pact
This tiny powder pact is so cute and compact it can even fit in your pocket! I think it has the same size as Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder. In terms of packaging, I like this one better because it has a separator between the puff applicator and the product itself and a mirror. This pact also has a mild mint scent, which is not a problem to me at all.
The real question is, does it work? Very much so. Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Pact has been my everyday retouch powder ever since I got my hands on it. It can really help you control the excess sebum off your face and gives this semi-matte finish; there's also this tiny illuminating effect it gives on the skin. If you are using blotting paper, imagine its result, but with an extra smooth feeling like you just applied a setting powder.
Is it okay to use as setting powder? Yes, for light makeup, and no for medium to heavy makeup look. I think this powder pact is not really meant to use as setting powder (trait that No Sebum Mineral Powder has), but just for a quick touch ups every now and then to control the oiliness. It is still great because it can maintain a fresh looking face for hours, so there's that.
Have you tried this powder too? Did you like it? Let me know in the comments below 😁
