    I desperately wanted to like this loose powder, but unfortunately it did leave a slight cast on my face even though I never used much. Not only that, a couple hours after application the powder...

    This is a good loose powder, not great, but better than most. I find that they don't provide a puff w/ this and you have to purchase it separately, I use a kabuki brush w/ this and I use only very...

    Not impressed. This powder is light, and feels good, but produces no mattifying power whatsoever. Skip it. Not worth the money.

    This is my all-time favorite powder. It's not too matte or chalky and makes my skin look great. Doesn't settle in my crater pores or my little lines. And it's one of the few that is light enough...

    I use this over my foundation. It's a decent loose powder, but makes me face look and feel dry. It's my first loose powder, so I'll keep looking.

    HG powder. Very, very finely milled. The only complaint I have besides the price (but all LM products are overpriced IMO) is that the shaker top needs about half as many holes. You get way, way...

    I have not made up my mind about this loose powder. I bought it 2 weeks ago and I cant see myself crazy about it. I think it dries my skin out a bit,and also gives me too much of a matte look...

    This is much better than Mac's loose blotting powder, it doesn't need retouching at least in the winter, will have to wait till summer to see if it lasts all day or not. So far I love it!

    For a translucent loose powder, this product performs as expected. I haven't been able to find a powder of it's type that doesn't leave a ghostly cast. I use it to set my foundation and mix it...

    I love this product and following her flawless face technique finishing the look. It is so finely milled that its the perfect touch. If you add on her secret finish gel, its just wins my heart!

    I love this setting powder; it's finely milled and makes my face look matte and clear. I use it after putting on Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer; it's a perfect combo for work.
