A little drying. Best if used right after moisturizing or applying foundation; if you wait, it does accentuate lines and hairs. Does feel weightless if your skin is moisturized, otherwise makes...

Absolute worst powder I have ever used. This does NOT smooth lines, it accentuates them ALOT, and I am only 28. It makes me look 35. The only thing it was good for was the pad that I could use to...

I bought this about a year and a half ago, and when I first tried it out I really didn't like it too much. I used the puff that it came with, which applies unevenly and make my face look...

This works fantastically over the Almay TLC foundation! It sets the liquid very nicely, and helps hydrate the dry skin of my cheeks, while keeping my T-zone nice and matte. I chucked the makeup pad...

I really like this. I was looking for a light coverage, easy to apply powder to wear over my sunblock. And this is just it. It takes away the shine but doesn't dry my skin out. It evens out my...

I really am liking this powder! This comes in a smallish compact. No extra place to keep the puff (which by the way should be replaced with a better one since the one it comes with is a cheapo one)...
