I love this loose powder. It is superfine, sets the foundation well, and gives a silky finish. My makeup lasts longer with it on.

When a girl has rosacea, she has to deal with oily skin that can flake. Sounds fun, huh? :) So looking for a powder that can help with the shine that doesn't dry out my skin is a must. Laura...

This gives a nice illuminating look. Does a good job of keeping make-up anchored to the skin.

This powder is very silky and smooth, but created an eerie, whitish cast to my face. And I don't know much about loose powders, but perhaps there are some of comparable quality at a cheaper price??

I have very oily skin and was convinced to try this. It was an average powder as far as shine control, but after a week my face started really breaking out. My skin hates this stuff--took it back.

One of the best face powders I have ever used - does not change the color of your foundation. Highly, highly recommend - pricey, but worth it.

IMHO, this product is not worth the price. The shade was OK on my pale, freckled skin, but that's it--OK. I exchanged it for the powder foundation which I can't wait to wear. BTW, if you do buy...
