When I went to Sephora, I was actually looking for rice powder. I read that it is translucent, soaks up oil, and doesn't leave your face blotchy. I have extremely oily skin and have to use blotting...

It's everything that I want in a loose setting powder. It's light, doesn't effect the color of makeup, sets makeup well, tones down shine, and doesn't seem to create or emphasize dryness. I don't...

Lovely, fine-milled powder which feels quite luxurious. I just started using this and love how it doesn't look chalky, blends into my skintone nicely, and and gives a nice finished look. I didn't...
