I use transparent deep but i shall just post my review here since it's the same product just different colour! (:


I love this product! It is my 'touch up' powder i bring this out almost everywhere i go! I usually blot before i apply this just to remove the excess oil on my face, especially after 8ish hours out at work. It has a really silky feel & the coverage is awesome! (: esp since it's a pressed powder. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy & looks natural not overdone at all!


I love the packaging especially since i bring it out, it comes with a really pretty pouch which makes it look so pretty! (: It makes me smile just looking at it!

I use Chanel all the time, but I decided to give something new a try. I do like this very much. When I wear this, it does not settle into my pores, and it lightens and brightens my face. I still alternate with Chanel, and I find I am disappointed with the Chanel in that it settles into my pores and makes me look like I have a thousand little lines everywhere (which I don't and without makeup, my face is completely smooth). I will buy this over Chanel now although I am looking forward to trying Guerlain's mythic next time to compare! Just to recap, brightens and does not settle into pores, as well as offers decent coverage and shine control all day. I never reapply until after work. I apply with a very dense flat top powder brush when home, a lighter smaller brush when out. Oh yes, what I am not happy with is the quantity - I can already see the tray below and I KNOW I haven't been using it that often, so one lippie off for that.

Nothing special.

A normal powder:
- Doesn't keep you oil-free for long.
- Doesn't break me out.
- I can't see any glow or nice finish just regular powder finish
- used one year, one package

I just bought MAC Blotpowder, better choice

Very light and silky, which I like, but the staying power is not good and after more applications, the powder does not blend at all. It just sits there, on my skin. I have to blot several times a day to stay matte. Color is nice, especially since most brands are usually too dark or orange on me. The packaging is pretty but the puff could be better quality. It got disgusting after just a few uses. The price is too much, $38... my search for the perfect powder will continue.

I LOVE this powder. It's so gorgeous and natural looking. The lightest shade is the perfect match for my very fair skin. I am really impressed with the quality of this finely milled powder! No breakouts either.
I took one point off of packaging quality because the powder puff that comes with the powder is crap.
I have been using it for a long time (after they discontinued my beloved Diorlight powder) and have been extremely happy with this product.
On the other hand the price is a killer! Unfortunately I had to stop using it for that reason - having a little child and tight budget are great cures for make-up junkies like myself ;-)
I will definitely buy it again when my boss decides it's time to double my salary :-)

Detta var ett puder jagverkligen trodde på ,köpte även en foundation extreme,men uuuuhhh vad det såge hemsktut,man kan ju tycka att dior skall ha lite "exklusiva" BRA produkter,men de satsarnog mer på utseendet på förpackningen än kvalité.det såg jättefintuti 15 minuter sedna såbörjade sminket "rinna" av...Never gonna buy this again :O(

My HG powder! It has good coverage and it's just a pressed powder! It's perfectly matte, and delivers a very natural effect, which lasts all day and night. I just love it!

Gives a sliky feel and nice coverage.

Hate the "sponge"...so I use my own.
At first I didn't enjoy that it had a frangrance...bit I got used to it, and dont even smell it anymore.

Will re-purchase.

My favourite pressed powder! Wonderful for my sensitive skin and does not cause irritation.The results are very natural, not chalky but a beautiful silky finish. It is not the most matte powder but delivers a very pretty, natural effect.I highly recommend with any foundation but especially with Diorlight.
Transparent light has a very subtle hint of color, very neutral.

HG of pressed powders! After searching and searching I've finally settled down to this AMAZING powder. Super silky soft, natural and not at all chalky. I have sensitive combination skin and this powder soaks up any oily spots without bringing out the flaky parts. It's not a powder that has a lot of coverage but combined with Chanel's Vitalumiere or Diorlight foundation it creates the most natural, glowing results.

This powder is great. It goes on light and easy without looking chalky or getting into fine lines which can easily happen to powders. I dont have oily skin but this doesn't dry out my skin at all. I use the colour light but I could also use the colour medium it depends on how and when I use it.

I have pretty light skin, but I use transparent medium, and it's perfect. This powder controls shine, blends VERY well, and lasts a long time. I use it over Diorlight liquid, and by itself. This is definately my favorite pressed powder by far--my usual complaint is that a powder highlights my blemishes (like it gets cakey or flakey around a blemish)--but this powder DOES NOT do that. I love it, I'm on my third compact and I will be buying again.

I've had this compact for quite some time, and I'm just getting around to writing a review after a posting on the MUA board jogged my memory. I picked this up randomly, looking for something nice and functional to bring my total over $75 to get free shipping on Sephora.com (I *hate* to pay for shipping!). It has a smooth, silky texture and looks light and natural -- not super matte unless you cake it on. However, it doesn't do anything to soak up oilies, so I don't use it during the summer. Cute blue hexagonal compact. I don't go through compact powders very quickly, so I don't think $35 is that horrendous. Worth it to me!

I actually got this with a CD GWP and I LOVEEEE IT! It gives the most incredible smooth finish and does not cake no matter how much I touch up during the day. Just gives me a beautiful, polished, flawless look! Try it!

I like this pressed powder- it's light and quite translucent, with just the sheerest hint of color which is barely detectable once applied. The compact is elegant, and the texture of the powder is soft and silky. I actually have the luxe version in the heavy gold compact, and it's the most divine thing to whip out for touchups. :)

I like this powder because it's talc free and doesn't have the waxy texture that some other pressed powders have. However, for the price, there are equal better options out there.
