Sacha Cosmetics Buttercup Setting Powder Review

Hi dolls,

I have been using Sacha Cosmetics Buttercup Setting Powder for months and I can honesty say I absolutely love this product. I have used many setting powders including the ever popular Ben Nye Banana Powder to set the concealer under my eyes and it ends up creasing during the course of the day however, Sacha Cosmetics Buttercup Setting Powder does not do this. For reference, I am a MAC NC 42 and it blends beautifully into my skin. The buttercup powder is finely milled in texture, it literally dissolves into your skin and does not cake like the banana powder. No matter how much you pack on, the product does not look dry or accentuate your fine lines any further and most importantly, sets areas it's applied to. If you are of medium olive to deep skin tone, and have issues trying to get the banana powder to work for you, you need to try the buttercup powder as it does not give off a white cast nor is it ashy. I have also used this as an all over setting powder and it works OK in keeping my oily skin at bay. I do not blot my face as often as I previously did throughout the day.

A major issue I have with this powder is the packaging! I absolutely hate it. It is quite bulky and it has a sifter but it still can be quite messy and considered not very travel friendly. 

The Sacha Cosmetics Buttercup Setting Powder is available at all conveniently located Sacha Cosmetics Outlets, Pennywise outlets and other beauty department stores in Trinidad and Tobago. It is also available at www.sachacosmetics.com (for all international customers).

Price will vary depending on where the product is purchased.


Has anyone tried the Sacha Cosmetics Buttercup setting powder yet?

  3. Which is better? Banana powder or fix it spray. I have both buy it's so much easier to spritz and go.

    1. Banana Powder is to set your foundation or concealer. I usually use this under my eyes to set my concealer. Fix it spray I use to set my full face of makeup (includes blush, bronzer, eye makeup)...kinda seals your makeup to prevent from 'running' (needed for people like me with oily skin)..so they're both quite useful

    1. It's such a great product, not only can it be used as the setting powder but also depending on your skin tone can be used as a highlight. Glad that I could assist :)
