description

This lightweight pressed powder blots oil and stops shine without messing up your makeup. Don’t let the pale lavender color fool you; this baby goes on invisibly and works on every skin tone. Try it on naked skin (if you run into the hot guy at the gym), or over foundation (for touch-ups on the dance floor without destroying your makeup). Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder, you won't feel the powder but you'll see the shine-free results. Because it’s made from rice powder, this lightweight, super-absorbent formula not only banishes shine, but also absorbs oil. Most pressed powders mix with the skin’s natural oils and can end up looking cakey on your complexion, but not De-Slick. And it’s infused with tea tree oil to calm and soothe sensitive skin. This shine-fighting formula comes in a luxe Lucite compact with a pretty-but-edgy design drenched in signature dark purple.

This powder completely took the shine off my face after I applied sunscreen, and lasted all day. It goes on sheer and has a very subtle shimmer that keeps you from looking too matte. On the...

I'm NC30 and this powder is invisible on me. This isn't like other translucent pressed powders I've used. This is like non-powder powder. It isn't cakey or powdery at all. It mattifies on contact...

I kept this one for the compact-the performance is mediocre for the slick-skinned ladies such as myself. I use it for touch ups through out the day but in no way does this last to suppress the...

I saw the reviews for this so I really wanted it for the Summer. I am usually pretty shiny, mostly on my nose. When I used this for a touch up I was not shiny for mostly the rest of the day. So I...

Well I hate to be the downer on this product but, I thought it was useless on my skin. I tried on bare skin, over sunscreen & over foundation and it did not control my oil or shine. In fact I...

As much as I love all my little cosmetic toys, there's not much in my make up bag that I can honestly say I couldn't live without. Not until now, anyway. This powder is perfect. There is nothing...

I LOVE this powder! It does an amazing job of keeping my skin from getting oily. I've had my makeup on since 6:45am, and it is now 8 hours later, and I haven't had to blot once! Normally, I blot...

This powder is amazing and actually blends with my super-fair skin. Doesn't cake or irritate my skin. Plus the packaging is awesome looking too with the purple skulls and such. :) Definitely...
