    I'm torn on this powder. Pros are: it does not cake, color is ok, does control my oil well, no breakouts. Cons: price, container is ugly, not sheer enough for me. If I buy this powder again it will...

    Wow, I finally found a product by LM that I don't like. I have oily skin and powders are very important to set my make-up and make them last. Not this one. To me is very overprized, very sheer...

    This loose powder is pretty good, okay? For the outrageous price of the product ($30 USD), it is NOT okay. In terms of powder quality, one could do a lot worse, but one could also do much better!...

    Feels great, excellent quality. I use this over my oil free foundation and it sets well. I do wish that the velour puff was included with this. Lasts a long time. I was shelling out $28 for Tony...

    I have mixed feelings on this. I gave it a 4 because the texture and feel of this powder are out of this world, knocked a point off because of the color. The translucent shade does not look that...

    In combination with LM tinted moisturizer, it's the only truly natural-looking makeup I've ever found. I'm very fair, and powder with tint in it makes me look like I'm wearing brown makeup. This...

    I'm very fair with combo skin. I was always having difficulty finding the loose powder that would not darken my face and match my skin tone and Yes, finally got it. JUST LOVE IT!

    I love this! Its the PERFECT translucent Powder. I use it over my tinted moisturizer, and apply it with the powder puff in a "rolling action". This is awesome!

    I've used up something like 8-9 jars of this stuff, I love it. Truly translucent, controls the oilies pretty well and doesn't break me out. I use it with a brush.

    I really wanted to love this powder but I ended up having break outs from this. This truly is a lovely powder and one to consider, if you don't have acne-prone skin. The cornstarch in this...

    This is a very light-colored loose powder, nearly white. Gives a nice, soft, matte finish. Works well on fair skin tones.
