Hello again!
I thought I would do a review on this loose powder as I find myself reaching for this everyday lately. When I first tried this out I did not like it and thought it looked cake-y on my skin however that was because I was putting too much on. I changed my brush to a more fluffy one and that helped to apply less and I didn’t have an issue with it being cake-y anymore.
The packaging is okay as the lid does not twist so it could open when you are travelling or if you throw it in your purse. However, I do like the packaging because it holds a lot of product! (65g) and the sifter does not have big holes; you have to shake out the powder in the lid – it doesn’t pour out.
The shade is suppose to be “translucent” but I wouldn’t agree with that; it is a fair shade – lighter than my skin tone and brightening. I use it to set my undereyes and clean up my bronzer/contour and it works great for that. There are more shades, so if you are medium – dark skin tone I wouldn’t recommend the translucent.
The scent is very strong but I don’t smell it on my face after I apply it so it doesn’t bother me. I would recommend this loose powder because I really liked the effect that it gave me; it blurred my pores slightly and helped brighten my undereyes – which I enjoyed. I also like that it keeps me matte longer than most other powders I have tried. It is also perfect for the “baking” technique because the powder is so fine. I completely agree with the claims that it has on the back of the packaging.
Have you tried this powder?
Click here to purchase – has all of the shades.
This is the only powder I use. It works great, it’s not pricey, and the canister of translucent powder lasts a long time.

Go for it! This shade (translucent) is perfect for brightening but if you want an all-over powder this is probably too light. I’m super fair and this is too light for me! I love the formula though, it’s no wonder they haven’t changed it for all those years.

I went to buy this yesterday bc my grandmother used to use it. I didn’t do it though. I’ll give it a try next time though. I was deciding between the translucence and. I think it was, neutral. Have you tried the other one?

I have only tried the translucent and this is fair, not fully translucent. I like to use it under the eyes and the centre of my face to brighten. If you are tan, I think the other shade will be better for you.

I have seen this at stores for years and always wondered if it is good. I almost got it once, but the scent is so strong that I put it back. Do you think the smell lasts for a while or fades away quickly?

The fade doesn’t linger at all and will be gone after a few minutes of applying it. This powder has been around for years! my mom was shocked when she saw I had it because my grandmother used to use it. She said it had the same smell, packaging and everything!

Try it! But make sure you use it with a fluffy brush. I have an oily t-zone and this makes me less oily throughout the day.
