Where have all the powders gone

[martygreene]

So, it seems that Smashbox has removed all their powders, save their powder foundation, from their line. I wonder what's up? The Photo Matte Pressed Powder was probably one of the best in the industry, and I know it's a staple in a few rather high-profile kits out there.

I emailed today to find out what's up, and talked to a few other pros about this today. We're all confused to say the least.

Yup, confirmed. Photo Matte and the Wet/Dry are both going away, and being replaced by a new powder foundation.

How does it make sense to replace a setting powder with a powder foundation, leaving your line without a setting powder?
