The first shade I bought in this powder was Dim Light and it’s a little too peachy/beige for my skin tone. It’s okay, I can get away with using it because of the neutral undertone but if I want somet...Read more

I bought the small dim light and splashed out on this one as the best option at the counter. I wish I hadn’t. What I loved about Dim Light - the blurring quality essentially - I just don’t get with ...Read more

What can I say, I’m underwhelmed. It’s a finely milled, soft, translucent, pale, pale yellow finishing powder with a barely noticeable shimmer. The packaging is pretty, and I like the ethics of the ...Read more

Marvelous product. I use it as a setting powder. Gives my face a subtle glow without being sparkly, blurs pores and small wrinkles, tones down redness. Looks good for hours on both oily and dry areas ...Read more
