High quality product, excellent price. I have very oily, very fair skin and this formula and shade suited my skin perfectly. I didn't find it shimmery at all; it looks very natural on me. It leaves my skin looking matte but not dry. As some of the other reviewers have said, if you are darker-skinned you might not find the shade that you need, and that would be a shame because this is such a nice powder.

This is better than my Chantecaille, Chanel, and Laura Mercier loose powders. Sets makeup beautifully, helps with oil, non-cakey looking -leaves a gossamer finish. Highly recommended - $7.99 at Target stores.

I Love this powder :-)

I use it over my Jane Stay Calm in "Fair Enough" and it is perfect. I am a VPPP..(VERY Pale porcailen princess lol) and this works perfect for me. It sets the makeup, and it makes it last until I wash it off! I love that it is never cakey or chalk looking. It just makes you glow!

Another terrific find thanks to this board. I love Sonia Kaskuk brushes and this powder is wonderful. In all I bought the powder brush, the blush brush, and this loose powder. I was not disappointed with any of them. The powder has a great texture, is super natural, and sets my make up without looking flourly like my old translucent. It is almost invisible on my complexion. Thumbs up.

I can't believe I never wrote a review previously for this fabulous drugstore powder. My problem is that I own too many cosmetic products. Sometimes I buy something new and don't end up trying it for months. Powder is one of the cosmetic categories that I don't get that excited about - probably because it is doing it's best job when it is not visible. Sonia Kashuk's loose powder is wonderful. It is light and fluffy and goes on like a dream. As soon as I put some on my face it immediately melts into my skin and looks completely natural. This powder does a really good job of setting my make up for the day. I can't believe what a bargain this great powder is, especially after I've been spending $45 for the different colors of T LeClerc.
I highly recommend this powder for both it's reasonable price and it's excellent quality.

Love this powder! It's very light and fine and looks so natural. I have blonde "fuzzies" around my jaw line, so I don't like heavy powders as they make my facial hair stand out. This is well made and so inexpensive!

I did not like this powder at first, seemed a little Johnson's Baby-Powdery to me. But I gave it another shot, and have really grown fond of it! Is very lightweight, doesn't get thick and orangy in hot, humid weather...skin looks fresh all day.

This is a really nice finely milled powder, even more so than the Clinique loose powder that I used to use. The shade Naked looks a bit too pale in the pot (even for my very pale skin), but goes on really well. I just wish I was able to get more through the sifter at one time. But that's a small thing. I'll definately re-purchase.

I scored this in a swap and am so very pleased! It's always sold out at the Targets I frequent, so I'm not alone in my love for this silky powder. It is, in fact, very finely milled. I'll continue to wear this for a very long time.

I tried this powder in the summer and landed up getting it in Flesh. Now during winter that it was just too dark for my pale skin, so took a trip and got it in Naked. This is defintely a great loose powder. It is very finely milled and has this great pearlessence to it, so it gives you a certain glow. I defintely recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality powder at a reasonable price.

This is a great powder! Only, I still haven't figured out a good way to get the powder out onto my brush. But it's so soft used with my powder brush.

I'm so glad I tried this powder! Though I've never used powder much in the past, I was needing something to keep my makeup in place and reduce shine since I work long hours and usually don't have time to touch up my makeup. The powder is very fine and soft. The color Naked goes on translucent (on me anyway, a PPP) and leaves a nice soft finish. It did, in fact, keep my makeup looking nicer longer! The first day I wore it, a co-worker commented on how "especially nice" I looked that day, and the only thing different was the powder. LOL! The only improvement I could see making is to have more color choices -- there are currently only two -- Naked and Flesh.

This is hands-down, the best powder I've ever used. Very natural and sheer, perfect over tinted moisturizer. I have super-sensitive skin, but have had no problems with this (or any other) SK product.

This would have been lovely...but, it gave me a terrible break-out-rash! i tried it three different times, and it had the same effect all times. too bad... it was a very finely-milled powder, very silky.

I read the outstanding reviews of this powder while on this site (thanks ladies!)while I was trying to decide which powder to purchase. I was very excited to see how I would like it and I was not disappointed! Very sheer, very finely milled - excellent quality, I also liked the sleek minimalist packaging - very modern. It has a shaker so you don't waste a lot and the shade Naked, is a perfect match for my porcelain skin. I was fully prepared to pay $30+ for a quality loose powder but am very satisfied with this one at $7.99!
Update: I get so many compliments on my skin since using this! It gives me a very flawless finish and my skin is just luminous! Highly Recommend.

Really light and airy but I bought this is Flesh instead which is slightly darker. I hate that ghostface powder look. I don't like the packaging though. And one more thing, anyone bothered that there wasn't a color available for a darker complexion?
Update: It eventually made me break out so I'm going to look for another one. I won't repurchase.

I'm very impressed with the light & finely milled loose powder. Perfect shade for my PPP complexion. Some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was cheap, but I actually like it since it comes w/a sifter.

This is a great powder, and a great value. It's a translucent, finely milled powder that goes on light and smooth.

Very high quality powder. I probably won't try any other brand, it's just that nice. Compares to the very high end stuff like T.Leclerc etc! The shaker looks kind of cheesy, especially the lid, but for $8, i'll deal. Would be a 5 if not for that!
