    I was really impressed with this (particularly in conjunction with Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. Great glowy look, minimal shine. (I am super oily, but also prone to dehydration, and this evens out...

    Really like this powder. It set's my foundation & concealer perfectly & does not look powdery or cakey. I use a velour powder puff & press it into my skin over liquid or cream foundation. If I'm...

    I like this powder. I have it in NC30. The color matches my skin perfectly. The powder feels light on the skin but still sets my makeup nicely. My only complaint is the packaging. Too much powder...

    This is a decent loose powder, but not my favorite (Laura Mercier). I like the natural matte finish it gives at first, but it goes shiny on me in a few hours and it tends to look powdery if I...

    I got shade N30. Even though the coverage is sheer, you only need a tiny bit of it and you're set. I love the silky smooth matte finish and the sleek, simple container.

    I have this in NC5 and it's just like an ordinary powder for me. Nothing too spectacular. Save your money and buy Wet n Wild powder if you are really pale.

    I bought this in the lightest shade available, NC5. I am not a huge fan of pressed powder. To me, it always looks cakey. There is absolutely nothing I hate more than seeing powder sit on my...

    I don't use makeup and have never really used loose powders but I was looking for something to tone down the shine I get from using sunscreens. This one works well. The SA was very nice and helped...

    I have this in NC 40 and honestly I never use it. I guess since I already use the foundation and studio fix, I have no need for this loose powder. It's a good setting powder for the foundation, but...

    This is the very best powder I have ever found. It sets makeup and takes away shine leaving your face flawless and natural looking - without looking like you have powder on. It's invisible even...

    Hmmm. This is a very nice powder, definitely. If you like sheer powders, that is what you get. This is almost imperceptible, no cakiness, no "powdery" look. It feels very smooth and lasts very...

    This is a okay finishing powder, it gives a nice matte finish. It's not as silky as I would like it to be.
