    This powder looks sorta white and chalky in the container but once applied carefully it really does become translucent, so that your real skintone can shine through! love it.

    Extremely high priced. But that's about the only flaw. Removes all shine with just the slightest pinch, and stays that way unlike mineral veil, which helps me oil up within 2 hours. You need to use...

    I purchased this when I had my makeup done and this broke me out. I even take medication for acne and it still broke me out. It has corn starch in it which breeds bacteria (my dermatolgist told...

    I love this powder. It has some silicone in it which helps it to really set makeup. I just lightly dust it over my face, including my eyes, to set concealer. I really love it. One jar lasts at...

    This is the best power I've ever found. It is completely colorless, but if you put on too much it does make you look pale. You really only need a light dusting to set makeup. Even on one of my bad...

    I've been using this powder for several years. The quality is very good, it doesn't clog pores, and it removes shine. You have to dump a little powder into the lid where you can swirl your brush...

    No big problems with this, but didn't impress me too much either. Blends in well, but be aware not to use too much - will create a chalky effect. Does not prevent me from blotting an hour into the...

    I was scared the first time I applied this powder as it seemed to leave a chalky finish. However, after a few minutes, my natural oils "soaked" up the ghastly white and my skin was flawless by the...

    It's definitely translucent in a beautiful way, but doesn't prevent oil from ruining my makeup half an hour later. I need a better oil-controlling powder.

    I use this everyday, keeps away the shinies and just sets my makeup. Very simple, but gets the job done.

    I love this powder, and find it becomes invisible, even on my NC42 skin. It shouldn't ever look white on any color skin -- pressed into the skin with a rolling motion of the puff, it sets...

    Whenever I wear this product it breaks me out and shows up white, not translucent on my NC30-35 skin. I recently found out it has corn starch in it, which can cause acne and is bad for acne-prone...

    Good quality powder. Found it a bit pale for my liking. I've since fallen in love with BeneFit Georgia Peach instead.
