I like shu products so this powder was disappointing. In comparison to my Laura Mercier powder, it didn't have good staying power. My foundation started to wear off my early afternoon. I also found...

It's colorless and it very finely milled so it doesn't show up on my skin (fair! NC15-NC20). It's supposed to be mattifying. Well, I do get the mattifying effect the first half an hour, that is it....

Overall: EXCELLENT, I'm very happy to have this product in my collection and use it daily. It is the only loose powder that has an effect on my combination skin - it sets my makeup, controls my...

Those of you who break out from this might want to check out octyldodecyl lanolate. I'm pretty sure it's a form of lanolin, which in it's pure form isn't supposed to be bad for acne prone skin....

This is my favourite loose powder, I came across it when I got it as a GWP in HK. When that ran out I bought the full sized one. The powder is so finely milled and the mesh lets through a good...

Love this! It truly is a matte powder and it makes my skin look great. Recommended for all skin types, although it is a bit dry!

For the price of this, I would not buy it again. I found the product average; the only thing I liked was that it was finely milled, but I didn't find that it had any more staying powder than other...

I bought this due to its placement on In Style magazine's "best of" list. I agree with a previous reviewer -- it's okay, but nothing outstanding, particulary for the price tag. I agree that I...

Not bad at all! I have light brown skin so was wary of this at first - it does look rather pink in the container. However, it is almost colourless (not fully - I do change colour slightly after...

Basically,I guess this is one of the shu uemuras clever ways of describing this loose powder as 'colorless'.In my opinion,it basically means 'translucent' powder.goes on with a white hue on it but...

I am sadly very sensitive to talc which this formula contains as one of its top ingredients, but otherwise this powder is in my opinion really the best on the market. It's so silky and finely...

Oops, just realised I left out doing a review just for the loose powder. Usually I apply it with the Shu water-in-liquid foundation and it sets the face just right, but recently, I wore it alone...

This is my HG loose powder and I've tried many - Lancome, Laura Mercier, Stila, Armani, which is good by the way, but not as finely milled as Shu Uemera. Armani luminous silk is still my HQ...

Works like a charm with a velour puff or any puffy puffs like the one shiseido makes which i think is heavenly. It really does what it says, gives you a matte, soft-focus look. Can be drying if...

Great as a finishing powder. Natural looking. Much better than their pressed powder. Lasts for ages.

This is a great matifier if applied with a brush. The applicator/puff that comes along has to be washed every day otherwise you get caky. The con is that this so-called colorless powder is too...

At first applied, this powder created a smooth flawless finish, I was verry happy with the result since I rarely use powder, for it tends to give the unnatural caky look . Then in an hour, it...
