I'm disappointed with this finishing powder, it doesn't have any hold and it makes my foundation turn into a weird shiny yet cakey texture.

This is my favorite finishing powder. I bought the ethereal light shade because it's light. It sets my foundation nicely and gives a nice smoothing effect. There's no glitter or shimmer in this. It's ...Read more

This is my HG finishing powder. I use it every day all over my face (I am very pale). It gives a wonderful blurred highlighted finish, literally like a moonlit glow. It is so finely milled, and feels ...Read more

I have all 6 of these and this is one of my least favorites, along with Diffused Light. This is described as an opalescent sheer, cool white powder that mimics a moonlit glow, even in broad daylight. ...Read more
