Although I agree with most of the reviewers on this product, I do think that the translucent is a little fair for my complexion. It works in the winter but I'm sure it will be too light in the...

Since I have not come across many reviews written by MMM/GGG women, I thought I'd post my two cents here. Ladies, don't be afraid of this translucent powder, for it is indeed translucent and does...

I find this powder to be a little above average. It does hold the oil and shine at bay all day and it glides on smoothly and is a pretty good texture. I'm not overly impressed but I would buy it...

I was hoping for a miracle when I bought this powder, but it didn't live up to the hype. It's just an average loose powder, IMHO.

This is awesome! I like this as much as BE mineral veil but you get a lot more product. BE is $20.00 and LM is $30.00 but the LM has a ton more product and will last a while. It is very finely...

Great, great loose powder! I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical that I would like LM's powder. Reason being, is that me/my skin reacts to her Foundation Primer (too strong - my face starts to...

After I ran out of my Clinique loose powder, I decided to give this one a try. It's a great powder, much better than Clinique IMHO. It's very sheer and makes your skin look flawless. I love it.
