I have been using this product for a few days and I am impressed with it so far. The best thing about this product is that it is "actually" translucent once applied, although it looks very white...

It's not bad, but no where near as good as my HG MUFE's. I gave this to my sister and went back to my HG as I found it too drying in some areas on my face. I also think MUFE's offers a more natural...

While this powder is incredibly light and fine, it looks dry, dry, dry on my skin. Not an attractive look.
