I like the powder, it's sheer and lightweight without adding coverage. I have dry skin and this does well with my dry skin. If you buy this be sure to have your own puff or brush as the included...

Picked this up in a Boots shop in Scotland and have really liked it. Very sheer and smooth using just a little product. I'm pretty cheap so I would only repurchase this if it was on sale.

Great powder in this price range. At first I thought it caked on but changed application with kabuki brush and never seen cakiness since. Highly recommend you use a brush instead of applicator that...

Just bought this product recently and it's the best powder I have used yet and I have tried a lot. It's good for my oily skin and I only need to top it up once a day, love it!

This product really caked on my normal/dry skin whether I patted on with the given sponge or brushed it over. Not a great powder for my skin type.

Excellent product! I have very oily skin and this instantly mattifies it! Although I have to touch up every couple of hours it is a perfect compact with a mirror so really easy to use! I have tried...

At first, I used this over my foundation using the sponge that is provided with the product. Using the sponge, it made my makeup look cakey and I didn't like the look at all! I avoided it for a...

Very chalky pressed powder. Doesnt last long. Makes my face look caked. Constant re-application required on shine. Over priced for whats basically a coloured talc!

Good for skin as fair as mine, it works best if you just pat it on rather than wiping your face with it and gives fairly good coverage.

I was really disappointed with this pressed powder. It goes on chalky and doesn't have much staying powder. It accentuated every pore on my face and created creases and lines that I didn't even...

Deceptively "good and basic" pressed powder. Excellent on more sensitive skin - both on the drier and oilier parts. I've used it off and on for years. This is a fine, sheer, light powder; slightly...
