It keeps my skin matte and it definitely lightens my face. I naturally have warm/medium tone. And it lightens the tone up. I think it's more of a lightener than a translucent. There are some big grain...Read more

This is more for blurring and for light colored skin. Does not set my under eye concealer or makeup. It also looks very white and ashy too.

It worked well for me becuase I have oily skin but it still dries out my skin a little. So maybe a definite no to dry skin peeps.

I bought this after hearing good reviews. This powder is probably the worst I've ever used, and that isn't easy to say as I love ELF cosmetics so much. But the moment I put this powder on my skin over...Read more

I wouldn't use this powder for everyday use. I look fine in photographs but this powder makes my skin look ashy. Be aware if you have olive toned skin.

This product is finely milled, and it does not leave a white cast on me (I'm a NW20-25). It does not look cakey, but it does not control the oil in my T-zone very long, approx. 3-4 hours. The product...Read more

I don't use much powder on my face, dry/sensitive skin. Recently I saw a tip online (Wayne Goss) recommending using no-color powder to enhance blending of eyeshadow. I already had this (Sheer) so gave...Read more

The powder is completely transparent on your skin and does a great job of mattifying and blurring. It doesn't get any better than this!

The packaging with its small holes makes a huge mess. I do like the softness of the powder but do find it leaves a white cast on my skin. Decent oil control.

I do like this powder because it’s lightweight and helps hide my pores. I have very dry skin so I used the NYX hydrating setting spray afterwards. I don’t know if that helps or makes this powder null ...Read more

Very mattifying and does help makeup last longer, but very drying, cakey looking and messy to use. Highlights dry patches. Didn't work for me at all! Not one for dry skin. Maybe better for oily skin

This is a very good basic powder. I always end up buying this because you get a ton of product for only 6$. It is a bit drier on my skin which is why it isnt my favorite powder.
