    I have the shimmer powder and it's got a nice shimmer to it that's not too disco-ballish. I shake the powder into the top part and buff it on with a brush and I find that it takes a couple of...

    Not to be harsh about this product, but I have a real issue with companies marketing their powders as 'translucent' when in fact they're NOT! Maybe it's my fault for assuming that any drugstore...

    This powder is very natural looking as its very make up is natural. This powder is perfect for winter. I don't recommend using this powder during the summer. I can see how this would not soak up...

    This was given a 3 because I"m stuck in the middle. The product DOES give a nice healthy look to the face, BUT, with my oily t-zone, I needed to reapply throughout the day to absorb oil. On my...

    I bought this powder in the matte finish. I really dislike it. This product turns my slightly-oily face into an oil slick when I use it as a finishing powder (I've tried it over liquid, pressed...

    This worked better on my skin tone (NC 42-43) as a highlighter...it was very shimmery, so just a little bit went a long way. On my skin tone, I would not use this as a finishing powder, but it did...

    I have this in both Trans. Matte and Shimmer and I'm a fan of them both. It goes on hella smooth and looks nice when applied with a puff or a brush. I've used my ecotools with these and they give...

    This is a fantastic finishing powder. I chose the matte version since I didn't want to look sparkly. I like the fact that there is a little lid on the dispensing area so that when I open it up...

    It's not that bad, but it actually didn't control my face's oil production. I used blotting paper an hour after applying this, and the paper was soaked.
