Matte Finish
Though this powder claims to be translucent, it does make my face look very ashy. The texture is superfine and makes the skin look super smooth though it definitely fills out the skin. It has a lot of flashback as well. Would only recommend to very fair and oily skin users.
Just okay
This powder is too fine for my liking. Its translucent which is great but there's a lot of product wastage. I prefer my too faced and hatt von d over this.
Mediocre in comparison!
I used to use this in conjunction with my foundation and found that it actually gave a SLIGHT flash back. I'm one of those very picky makeup users -where you probably couldn't tell there was flashback, but oh buddy - I definitely could. I've since found a better translucent powder that doesn't seem to provide as much flashback - Laura Mercier. This used to be a favourite of mine, until I realized it was the culprit behind some of my flashbacks. I now use this to bake under my eyes to brighten the area and don't mind if I have a small amount of flashback there.
There are better products out there to set your make up
This used to be all the hype to setting your make up and I just didn't find it a HG product.
Pros:
- lightweight
- a little goes a long way
Cons:
- not cheap
- does not look good with flash on the camera (I look white ?)
- better variations out there (i.e. I prefer using hourglass lighting palettes and setting sprays)
