I absolutely LOVE this face powder!

I was over at a friends apartment one day, and we were about to go dancing. I had just put on makeup, but usually during a night of dancing, or even just sitting around chilling with my friends, my face gets a bit shiny/oily. So my friend let me try out her Marcelle Face Powder in Translucent, and when I looked at the photos later on of our night out, there was NO trace of shine on my face at all! Very impressive since we had danced until the wee hours of the morning!

It gave me a flawless complexion by evening out my skin tone, as well as keeping my makeup on for hours. It isn't something I'd keep around in my purse for touch-ups, as the jar is quite large (it's 70g). But it's nice to keep at home, and put on before I go out for the day.

The powder is very light, you hardly feel it on your face, except for making your skin feel super soft. The translucent shade is probably the best, as it doesn't really have a colour (as the shade implies), so you don't really have to worry about getting the proper shade. When I actually went to buy one of my own, they didn't have translucent, only translucent medium (and I'm a very very fair-skinned girl), but it actually works pretty well with my skin, it's just a bit more pinkish than the translucent I find. So either one will work fine on your skin!

I put this on over my foundation, but I don't dust much on, because I am afraid of it looking too powdery. Just a thin layer, or thin pat on your trouble spots, and you're set to go! I use this with a very thick, soft powder brush, and apply in circular motions to my face.

The packaging is easy to use. I usually just turn the jar upside down, tap the bottom a bit, so that the powder falls into the cap, and then apply from the amount that dropped there.

Awesome powder. Just awesome. I only just wish they had it in a smaller jar with an applicator so I could carry it around in my purse and not have something big and bulky!
