There's nothing wrong with brown powder, you just need a good hand and try to understand the good brands.

Brown powder (setting powder to pros) can come in loose or pressed format. Pressed is easier to carry, so more people use it, but loose sets the face better. From my experience, and those whom have used them, some brands we know about are:
Black Opal: a good brand, but is not suited for the nigerian climate, so will do nothing for you
MAC: same as above, sweating while wearing this will look quite bad
Iman: quite good, but doesn't have staying power and has been brand-diluted due to the number of fakes on the market, so be careful where you buy from
House of Tara: good, but acts more like a cream-to-powder formula. I'll explain more on how to work this brand

Thanx all.@onegai,thanx 4 d explanation.I will prefer d iman powder buh dont know d particular of its brand 2 opt 4.cos I saw 2 to 3 brands of d iman powder apart 4rm d foundation at d beauty shop I visited,buh I need a pro or make up artist 2 put me thru.Am dark skinned n av an oily face,which will u advice me 2 go for?

I sell original iman powder,u can contact me 4 urs.U can between deep to earth meduim depending on how dark u are.

How much is it.pls state d prices separately.

Luxury pressed powder and perfect response is 3500, liquid makeup and stick foundation is 4000. Perfect response is oil blotting pressed powder.

Does iman sell only for darker complexions?

@Kandiikane,I have iman 4 all complexion.

If you have dark skin and oily face, there's a trick to using and setting Iman powder to last on the skin. By the way, Powder won't give you coverage, not Iman powder, it won't cover up your dark spots and pimples, and I hate seeing ladies pile it on their face trying to make it do that, it's too much makeup. Only very good makeup artists know this trick, most don't. I usually recommend products and teach my clients how to do their own makeup, so they don't look caked in makeup. You need a pressed oil-blotting powder from the Iman line for your oily skin.

Powder Diffraction Data For Minerals

Representative samples were collected from seven locations. Field investigations involved geological mapping to establish sample locations. Collected samples were packaged in air-tight plastic bags for laboratory analyses. The x-ray diffraction curves were analysed using the American Society for Testing Materials (A.S.T.M, 1989) powder data file and also by correlating peaks of significant intensities with standards established by the Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS, 1980).

The geochemical test for major oxide determination of Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Na, K, Mg and Ti was done using x-ray fluorescence machine. The parameters and standards used are listed in Table 3. The physical tests were carried out at Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Enugu. The mineralogical and geochemical tests were carried out at Engineering Materials Development Institute, Akure. One to two grams of sample was splitted out, crushed in a mortar by impact and ground as a paste with water.

The paste was disaggregated in an industrial-grade Waning blender after an overnight soak. For mineralogical test the fine-grained particles (˂ 2µm) were separated by centrifugation. This was done according to the procedure used in Moore and Reynolds (1997) so as to create a homogenous sample throughout. In each case, 25 grams of the clay sample were hydrated for 24 hour using a 600 ml polyethylene centrifuge bottle in which the sample was placed alongside 500 ml of distilled water to ensure the formation of stable dispersions.
