Veil Translucent Setting Powder

i can see why so many people would like this powder. it does have a nice radiant effect so its probably great for people with dry skin who dont want something too mattifying. however, it hardly did anything for oil control for me.
Also, the powder claims to be blurring, however I find it to be ok in terms of its texture on skin. its not cakey or dry or powdery, but i think it makes your …Read more

I’m obsessed with this. I’ve tried so many translucent powders - Laura mercier, Kat von d lock-it, fenty beauty etc. they were all too drying on me (I have very dry skin) and made me look old and tired. This powder is a game changer. It sets my makeup all day but isn’t drying so my makeup looks flawless without drying my skin out. I do have to say it doesn’t do a lot to control oil (which I don’t …Read more

This is beautifully packaged, and I had heard so many good things about this that I saved my pennies and made the splurge.
However, I am so disappointed! I feel when you first put it on your face, it does illuminate and blur and give you a gorgeous finish and I'm really happy when I leave the house. However I've noticed that an hour or so later, I check my concealer and foundation …Read more

I'm always looking for a powder that can do it all - control oil, brighten, and blur lines and pores. A lot to ask, I know! I was convinced this one would deliver but it fell short for me. First, its ability to control oil was pretty nonexistent. My skin was oily after about an hour after using this powder. Other powders give at least a couple of hours! As for blurring/brightening, it …Read more

I finally bought the mini size after being recommended this so many times by other people. I am very impressed with it and I don’t think I have ever felt that way about a powder. I have tried a lot of powders that people recommend but I’ve never liked a single one (Laura mercier, Bare minerals veil, coty airspun, one from Pacifica, makeup forever hd). They all left me dry and by the end of the …Read more

This packaging is amazing, I love all of the little details that make this powder a pleasure to use and work with. However!

It has noticeable shimmer running through it. Now, don't get me wrong being a magpie with dry skin, I do love me some sparkle. But this is borderline chunky. I do see how specks of "diamond powder" sit on top of my skin and that is not the look I am …Read more

If you have really dry skin and have struggled to find a good loose powder, you really should try this out. You can get it in a mini size at Sephora for around $18, so I suggest that before splurging on the full-size product.

I was using Chantecaille loose powder for several years and really liked it, but suddenly this year as my dry winter skin set in, I couldn't use the …Read more

I have some loose powders that I truly love( Too Faced Ethereal, No7 Perfect Light, Chanel, Laura Mercier etc), so I really didn't need this, but listened to the hype, and am glad I did! This powder is so smooth and finely milled, its just fabulous..its like a filter for the face, and provides such a smooth flawless finish. I love applying this with the Tarte pink and gold setting powder …Read more

I can’t live without a good loose powder for making sure makeup doesn’t shift during long working days and I really had high hopes for this one; I like most Hourglass products and used the Veil foundation for quite a long time (see review there) before being brought back into the Nars fold. BUT. This really wasn’t worth my hard-earned money. The packaging is lovely but it just doesn’t dispense …Read more

Best powder for dry skin ever and works beautifully to set undereye concealer.
