    This powder actually looks quite lovely on the skin but the shades are really poor. Medium is too dark for my skin tone and light is too light. I guess I could potentially mix the two but I do...

    one of my favorite powders that i've ever used, however, it shouldn't be applied with the supplied puff, but a brush instead. Otherwise the coverage isn't as good as it could be. I wrote this...

    one thing i love about this powder is that it is matte, and when i say matte, it really is matte no shine at all, and it gives a nice coverage to my face. i put it on my face after my foundation,...

    This is a great powder, but Light is way too dark for me. It looked a little dark at home, but when I got to work and saw myself under the fluorescent lights, I looked like an Oompa Loompa! I could...

    I have repurchased this about 5 times. This is a really good drugstore product. We all can't afford to buy T. Le Clerc all the time, even though it's a superior product, and Almay's loose powder is...

    Nice everyday powder. I really like the lid, which is so large and tall that I can swirl my powder brush in it without worrying about getting powder all over my dressing table. About the powder...

    This powder is nice and fluffy, and I've used it for years. I've strayed, thinking other products (typically more expensive) would be better, but none of them have been. It gives a nice color, and...

    This powder is truly translucent adding no color but just removing shine. It has a nice texture and appears to give my skin a more silky smooth look. There's not much else I can ask for in a powder!

    This is a really nice product. It does a good job keeping oil at bay and does set your makeup well--- however, i wouldnt recommend getting the translucent shade if your arent light skinned, hence...

    This is my first loose powder. I have this in Translucent. I probably should have bought this in a different shade b/c when I want to wear it without liquid foundation, I feel like it isn't...

    I was very unimpressed with this product. I was looking for a less expensive alternative to my Laura Mercier translucent loose powder. This was definitely not it. It is finely milled as some...

    I love this product... My first powder but it's really amazing. I'm not sure how much it sets your makeup for eyeshadow but the end result is great. REALLY matte. My skin looks so flawless and...

    This is a really nice powder. It goes on smooth. I purchased it in translucent so I could set my makeup. I was really afraid it might be chalky but it's not. It may settle a little bit into lines...

    I've never come across a loose powder that imparts such a beautiful, natural finish. I used to use this in "Transluscent," but it was a bit too pale so now I mix "Transluscent" with "Ivory" (which...

    This doesn't work miracles on my 40-year-old oily acne-prone face, but it comes pretty close. I give it an overall 4.5. I deduct 0.5 lippie only because I have trouble getting the powder out of...
