Pro Enhances the longevity of base products
Sets foundations/concealers/whatever to hold them in place and prevent migration or wearing off

Cons
Con Not ideal for flash photography
As it's a silica based powder there is a risk of flashback with any flash photography. It doesn't always if applied carefully - but must be careful so it's safer to avoid if you know there will be cameras flashing!
Con 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
