Who It’s For: Recommended for all skin types.

"I thought this product was okay. It's good for extra coverage but not for oil control. I would rather have a powder with coverage+oil control. "

"I really like this powder. My only complaint is if it doesn't spread evenly, it makes my skin look muddy in some areas. "

"I use this as a finishing powder, but it can be worn alone as a foundation. It gives a nice finish and looks amazing in photos.
The only gripe about this powder is the packaging. I have purchased about 4 and some are fine, but some of them are super hard to open! I've also dropped this (DO NOT drop it), it caused the case to chip at the corner and the powder inside to crumble =(
Overall, it's one of my HG powders! Not cakey and velvet smooth."

"I really loved this product until i started getting little bumps under my skin. :( Same thing happened with the blu_ray blush! I think im sensitive to talc. The packaging is chic and the color range/coverage is great so i was sad to let it go."

"I love this powder! The powder is a little crumbly and there will be fall out when you dip your brush in, but it's a little heavier coverage than most powders, which I love! There are only 4 shades, and I fall somewhere in between the 2nd and the 3rd, but I am able to use #2 (medium/beige) and have it blend right in without looking like a mask at all. It is my favorite powder to set my foundation with when I know I will be taking lots of photos.
The case is fragile - be careful with it so it doesn't break! My powder case is actually fine, but I have a BR blush whose case is a little broken. I keep both of them in the box that they came in because it doesn't add any bulk and I feel it protects the product a little bit more.
As far as shades go, I would say #1 (light) is somewhere around a MAC nc15-nc20, #2 (Medium Beige) is nc25-nc30, and #3 (medium dark) is nc35-37 and up. I don't know #4 as I never tried it. HTH!"

"I thought the texture was cakey and I made sure I applied with a light touch. Was also drying. The color I got was much lighter than shown on the website. I have yellow undertone and didn't think it had enough yellow base for me. "

"After trying many liquid foundations with no luck (my skin is very clog prone), I decided to go with a powder foundation. This one has very minimal ingredients compared to a lot of others and it actually does not break me out. I do not use this all over my face. I usually just use it on my T-zone and then I apply it with a concealer brush directly to my blemishes. It has great coverage and blends well with my skin. I really like this product!"

"Loved this powder. My skin tone instantly looked better. I used 20..I am kind of fair but have a more golden glow to my skin. Felt really smooth on my skin and gave me a more finished matte look on my oily skin."

"I love this powder for setting my makeup before I leave the house. It's really silky and definitely does help to hide imperfections by giving your skin and 'airbrushed' look. It's also great because it doesn't look heavy when you apply it; it leaves a pretty glow on your skin without looking fake. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because If you have oily skin, it might not be mattifying enough. Other than that I love it and intend to buy again! "

"If you are looking for a pressed powder foundation this one is really good! This powder is so fine and goes on so smooth, I just love it. I like to apply mine with a foundation brush because it goes on more like a foundation than when I used a powder brush. I felt like the application was a little too light with the powder brush. "

"A powder that capitalized on the high def trend before high definition makeup became a trend. :) Its basically a finely milled powder that gives the skin an uber smooth finish. The colors are very yellow toned and good for darker skin tones. The only downside is it can look a little dry as the day wears on."
