    I received this in a Sephora kit. I’m glad to have tried it because it’s an iconic product, and certainly is more finely-milled and gentler-looking than many of the face powders out there. It’s...

    I do quite like this one, I purchased in translucent as i'm NC20. Packaging looks luxurious, but I never got round to using the puff as it was too big and bulky for my face. I bought the XL size,...

    I received this as a birthday gift and I love it. It is very finely milled and goes on very smoothly with a good powder brush. It does not require much and removes any shine without looking chalky....

    This is a really cheap powder. The texture is too thick and chalky. It settles into my large pores, enhancing them not diminishing them like other setting powders I have used. I love iT cosmetics...

    I bought this powder in Honey and it's taken a while to get used to it. I used it as directed with a powder puff and found it made my skin look pale, ashy and strange, despite its peachy-yellow...

    I was very impressed when I received a trial size of Laura Mercier’s “Translucent Loose Setting Powder.” I’m very pale so it can be hard to find a powder that is light enough for my skin. I found...

    I love this for setting my makeup as well as for baking. Knocked off a lippie because the ingredients are horrible and I'm looking for an alternative to this powder that doesn't contain talc.

    This powder is amazing. Has no scent, no white/ashy color, but it does look cakey sometimes. Whenever I use a brush, it turns out to be cakey and blotchy. I highly recommend using their Velvour...
