The first transparent, loose powder from the Prime and Fine range by Catrice turns every complexion into an eye-catcher. The micro-fine powder particles ensure a long-lasting matt effect and offer the right basis so your make-up stays in place. They also absorb excess oil and mattify without drying out your skin. As a result, the Translucent Loose Powder helps you get a flawless, velvety and radiant complexion.
What we say:
‘Because I have combination skin, I’ve had to find powder foundations to avoid looking like I’ve emerged from an oil-slick-spill. Catrice’s Prime and Fine powder has reintroduced me to liquid foundation as it gets rid of unwanted shine without drying out my skin. The loose powder may be white but when applied it sinks into your skin, leaving no trace except for a perfect matte finish.’

I’m not going to lie, I am a make up and skincare snob. However like everyone I love a good bargain – and here’s the catch – if it works! I read about the launch of the Catrice brand in SA in a trusted magazine (hoping it wasn’t just a press release I was reading and the beauty editing team had tried the products). Well I had nothing to fear, I haven’t tried this particular product but I have tried many others (had to buy lots as they were so cheap). What a fantastic brand, all the products I’ve tried really work, as they say “it does what it says on the tin”. They genuinely work, the primers leave the skin smooth, even smoothing out those little fine lines under the eyes. The eyebrow gel is fantastic and looks natural but filling in gaps as they should. But my fave is the lipstick that is technically colourless but on the lips gives you the most stunning natural pink lip as if it were the best natural colour you could have, think young children who still have all the lovely pigmentation in their lips which we lose as we get older. The best thing though is that it doesn’t leave a mark and stays on for several hours. Better than any balm or gloss. Please try this brand it’s excellent.
I have the setting powder from Smashbox and I can’t live without it now. It leaves my skin without an oily sheen and let’s me set my liquid foundation so it doesn’t rub off.
I’d like to try this powder when my current powder is finished. It sound s as if it does its job well!
I have not used this product before but I use a very similar product by MAC. If this product is anything like the one MAC makes it is SO WORTH GETTING. It seals your make up so you don’t get Panda eyes and it gives you a photo shopped finish. Amazing for wedding or matric dance make up.
Gives me porcelain skin.
I like that this is white so it can’t stain clothing. It does well to conceal large pores and oil and it is not badly priced either.
i love that it is affordable and does what it is supposed to be doing i.e. setting my makeup in place and leaving room for my skin to breathe. my makeup doesn’t look like i have plastered it on and i end up with a natural look
Its just perfect for almost every skin tone out there. Just a touch of it gives you a matte finish. Its a must have for oily skin ladies..
I like the price and that it is colourless so it goes with all complexions and will not rub off on clothes
I love this product! I have a combination skin and this powder prevents my skin from looking shiny / oily during the day and even during a night out.
