    This is a great powder, not excellent but great. The skin feels "breathable" but still keeps matt during the day.

    This is an ok powder but I found it very drying. I prefer Becca's loose setting powder as it doesn't make my foundation cake and isn't drying like this one.

    The best powder I have ever used! Yes it is a little inconvenient b/c it is loose and not pressed but the mess is worth it. I only peel off half of the sticker so it's not so bad. Anyway, I use...

    I am not a big fan of loose powder and I have to say it is quite mediocre in terms of consistency. It (#01 transparent) looks quite dark on my yellow Asian skin tone and it takes forever to use up.

    So got this for summertime to keep the shinnies at bay. I like that it has no color so if I'm tan it won't matter. The only downside is the price. I got mine off eBay so it wasn't too bad, but I...

    Beautiful finishing powder. So finally milled, it blends wonderfully with my fair complexion. Great product and a jar lasts forever.
