Not ideal for flash photography
As it's a silica based powder there is a risk of flashback or white cast with any flash photography. It doesn't always if applied carefully, but if you're unsure it's better to be safe than sorry (or at least do a few test photos before going out!)

•••
Not ideal for under-eye area
This powder isn't as fine as some other setting powders (eg. rouge bunny rouge or anything with a silica base really) so it can settle into fine lines under the eye or at least be a bit more apparent - this will vary with skin type and prominence of fine lines

Mattifying and reduces shine
Silica and evermat (from Enantia Chlorantha tree bark extract) act to reduce sebum production and absorb shine without looking matte to the point of being pancaked
