Too Faced Primed & Poreless Powder

A few weeks ago I bought the Too Faced Primed & Poreless Powder during ULTA's 20% off sale. I was excited to try it because HeyClaire loves it, and I've always wanted a more high end powder, as my current holy grail is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.I just had to see how these powders stacked up to one another. The Rimmel Stay Matte is only $3.99, and the Too Faced costs a cool $30.So, the first time I applied it, I decided to do a side by side, which, I almost never do, but since they seemed comparable enough and the price was such a massive difference, I figured I'd get away with it.I applied both powders to halves of my face and wore them through a typical work day. I liked how it was light but not too light, and was essentially transparent. I feel like my Rimmel one, although the shade name is transparent, still shows a tiny bit of color on my fair skin. I wore them both all day with no blotting, no touch ups, nothing. And honestly, there was no discernible difference on which side was oilier for me. I snapped a few friends and had entirely conflicting opinions: to one friend they looked the same, and then two others each voted for opposite sides of my face. So, I was calling it a draw, but, since I love the packaging of the Too Faced, I made the switch and started wearing it over my whole face.And then I started breaking out. At first, it was only on one side - the half of my face that I had tested the powder on. But, as I started using it on my full face, more breakouts started popping up. I discontinued using the product maybe 2 days after I first tried it, but the damage was done.I'm returning it for sure, but have yet to get around to making it to ULTA. I rarely return beauty products, but this one was too expensive and too bad for me to keep. Such a shame!So, if you have sensitive, breakout prone, and oily skin like I do, I wouldn't recommend this powder to you. Everyone is different, though, so if you like the Rimmel Stay Matte but want something a little bit fancier- this one is a good option.Sound off below- what are your favorite powders?
