I bought this with the Urban Decay Surreal Skin foundation and I really liked the way it felt and I loved the packaging, but it didn't work for me. I didn't think it illuminated my skin and it just...

I was disappointed by this powder. I had hoped it would give me a nice, smooth, flawless finish, but it really just looked bland and blah. I was hoping this might just be due to the color, but I...

I use this powder quite sparingly and I love the glow it gives. It holds my face in for a good proportion of the day with a quick touch up at lunch. The price & additional cost for the cover...

I actually really like this. I used BE bare minerals in the past and Shiseido powder too, but I like this more. The color match for me is perfect for my light beige skin (I use 50 watts). I like...

I like the idea of two sides one for matte finish to control the shine in T-zone and one with slight shimmer. But really I couldn't tell the difference between the two it was so subtle. This powder...

This powder has only one good thing. It slightly illuminate your complextion. The bad thing is that the texture is not fine. As a result, it cannot be smoothly applied. The package is cute for...

I really like this powder...The shimmery side isn't really meant to be for shimmer..it's a highlighter. This works great if you have dark circles, apply the highlighter right under your eyes and...

I bought this in "medium watt" for my NC25 skin. The compact contains 2 small sections of powder: one with sparkles and one without. I wish they sold the sparkley one on its own... but other than...

This seems to work ok for me. I tend to blend the 2 sides of it together, as the shimmery side really doesn't shimmer all that much. It goes on easily though. The little puff isn't much use. ...

Lighter than IPF and to use over the illuminating foundation. I find it has a light smooth texture and adds a nice finishing touch. It works good on it's own if you do not need a lot of coverage....

This product is okay; This doesn't visibly change the appearance of my skin. I haven't liked any Stila face/powder/skin products, so I wasn't really surprised. I keep this at my office for a...

I loved this one! I swapped for this one, and glad I did! I wouldn't say that one side is 'sparkly', it gives a nice glow to the skin. I use it swirled together for the most part. On special...

I've got it in fair watt which is white... sounds a bit weird, but it blends into the skin making it look really nice. The pan is split in two so you can choose beetween a shimmer or matte effect....

I have this in Fair Watt, which looks white, but goes on sheer. This powder compact has 2 sides, one is more of a matte finish, the other one more shimmery. I mix them together for a nice sheer...

This has also become my HG pressed powder. I have it in Fair Watt, the white one, and although I am a Stila C, it doesn't look chalky at all, instead, the application remains sheer no matter how...

My new HG powder! I like to use the two sides (matte and shimmery) together, and the sparkle isn't visible on my skin. Just gives me a nice glow without looking at all powdery or cakey. Will...
