    Very powdery, not good for dry skin

    I find this powder kicks up a lot of dust, and I feel like I am breathing it in as I put on my makeup. Also, the powder is very matte, and I find that if I don't use a setting spray, I look like a ghost.

    Not worth the hype

    I purchased this to see if I would like it better than my usual setting powder as I heard so many great things about it. Unfortunately, this just doesn't work for me. It's a little too soft and I felt like it was really sticking to any spots where I have freckles or any dry patches, even if I primed. I felt like I was constantly reapplying throughout the day and I ended up using way more product because of it.

    Decent powder

    While I apply it I enjoyed it, was very soft on the face. However I didn't find it long lasting and sunk into face creases. I also found a lot was wasted trying to get it out of the jar and tapping off of a brush.

    A very light finishing powder that leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. I am messy when it comes to loose powders, hence the lower rating since it tends to get everywhere, but it does work really well and leaves the skin looking lovely and feeling gorgeous.

    I'm not sure if I have used this product correctly...I have oily skin and I thought it was gonna help me to set up my foundation and matify my skin, but it didn't. After 30 minutes, my ''shiny face'' was coming back. I usually love Tarte products, but I believe this one is just not for me...

    I will have to say that I expected more from this product. I always use a powder to set my foundation. This powder has a superfine texture, which is nice, and it is translucent, which is also nice. The powder kept my makeup in place for the first couple of hours of wear, then, disappointingly it melted off my face leaving me shiny and unhappy. Too expensive to perform so poorly.

    I have combination dry/sensitive skin. It's a loose finishing powder. You need to remove a small plug in the product. Then you need to push both sides to release the powder through a small hole. Supposedly, it gives you the right amount if powder. I'm not sure about that. It's an odd design which I didn't like. The powder is white and you need to blend in well. I sweated through the product and I didn't do much for me.
