This is ok, not great. It does make me paler, but I think it's useful to tone down my blush with. I have the small container, and think that it is too expensive for the amount you get. I really...

This powder is fantastic. A little goes a long way and it leaves your skin looking flawless. My only gripe is when trying to get the last bit of powder out, it is nigh on impossible. The lid is...

I really wanted to like this because I just forked over $60 for it but it isn't true to its name. This "translucent" powder washes my complexion out and my dewy look once I'm done applying...

I was previously using laura mercier transculent powder & feel that it doesn't stay for long esp. in warm weather country. It doesn't seem to set make-up quite well though I've heard good comments...

This has become my HG in loose powders! It is very finely milled and truly "translucent" as the name suggests so doesn't alter the colour of foundation. Sets makeup beautifully, keeps the shine...

I think this powder is awesome - I love the fact that it is truly colorless, which means it doesn't really change the color of my foundation or skin. It just evens it out and prevents shine. My...

This powder is excellent. I am usually scared when a color is described as "translucent", due to the fact that translucent might as well mean "chalk" in my skin dictionary. This is certainly not...
