Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine, smooth application, not much difference, good quality, packaging could be better
for a bronzer, which i expected, it wasnt that good. it works better as a foundation. because the foundation i have is too light and the one darker than that is broken and too orange, this would be great for just a foundation. doesnt crumb, but if you're planning to take it on the go, buy the case because it comes in a flimsy plastic packaging and im already afraid to drop it. it isnt very shimmery, which i like, and still adds the right amount of color to a nice lively face. for light skin, get the L3 if you want a good foundation. if you want a bronzer, go for something darker, because its too light for contouring.
The translucent luminizing color powder is perfect on my fair skin. I use it to touch up my look throughout the day at work. I don't wear foundation on a regular basis but have tried it as a touchup on days when I wear foundation and it also performed well - no cakiness or buildup. I honestly didn't notice much difference or "luminescence" myself, but I've started receiving compliments on my complexion (that's a first!) since I started using. Wow!

Quick Take: sheer coverage
I had to return this product, regardless of the great fragrance, the powder is just too sheer so I couldn't notice any improvement or luminizing effect

very light- 01.17.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
it is great product for a great price! for my medium color skin # 2 was very light so for winter time is ok but for summer time I suggest #3. I have some acne problem and this product didn't make it worse so I'm very happy about that.

Best bronzer ever- 11.30.09
Quick Take: reduces shine, natural bronze
I use L4 as a bronzer and I will never use another! It gives a beautiful natural tan look and is so lightweight. It lasts forever, it seems to never get used up. Definitely a great value! People are always asking how I got a tan! Plus it takes away shine :)

I've had better- 11.14.09
Not a bad powder, but not the best wither. Alos, it is quite perfumed, which isn't bothersome to me, but would be to a lot of uses. I won't buy again, but won't be returning either.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine, give your face a nice glow
I love this product. It is very lightweight, controls shine without drying out or looking cakey, goes on very evenly. I was skeptical about the brush applicator, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found the scent very light and pleasant. It did not irritate my sensitive skin and I cannot smell it on. The L1 is invisible on my very fair skin.

I love this stuff.- 09.11.09
It goes on light, gives a nice radiance to the skin, has a lovely scent, and stays on all day with no problems. It's easy to remove as well. Definitely worth it.

The Makeup Luminizing Color Powder+ (case)- 06.02.09
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine
After using the luminating power, I switched to golden beige. I was hoping to find apricot, but i guess that particular shade has been discontinued. Like the golden beige color, and Love the case. The powder sucks all the oil from my t-zone, which is definitely what I was shooting for. And the case is amazing with it's brush, and how it separates the powder and the brush.
The Makeup Luminizing Color Powder is a super fine pressed powder that gives the ultimate finish to your make-up application. The brush is very soft and top quality on the face. An added bonus is the soft sweet scent!
I have fair combination skin and the L3 is my favorite powder. I dont like heavy coverage but I do want coverage and this powder does the job! It also does not leave your complexion flat, but with a healthy looking glow that looks natural. This powder is also pretty oil absorbing, lasts a long time. If I need to use it to blot, it's perfect because it doesnt build up and look "cakey".

Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
I have this in translucent, golden beige and apricot. All are lovely colors. The brush that comes in the compact (sold separately) is great. I don't usually wear foundation, so I just apply this to bare skin to set my blusher, concealer and eye makeup. The powder is sheer and does not give a cakey look. I could do without the smell but it's not strong and goes away quickly. The powder gives my skin a natural look that's not too matte. I don't reapply it during the day, but I don't have a problem with excess oil.

Love this powder. I have always relied on Shiseido powder for my finishing touch. The quality is comparable to Chanel but the price is better. Beautiful compacts.

Absorb Oil- 04.09.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing
A great product for oily skin. My face looks so natural since I started using this powder. It lasts long as well, I putted it on at 6:00am and I don't have to worry about mixing my make up till late afternoon; I have extremely oily skin! Love it and highly recommend it anyone.

Contains Irritating Fragrance, No Luminosity- 04.05.09
Quick Take: very irritating, not luminous
I ordered the L1 Translucent, hoping for a powder that would add luminosity and not a lot of color to my pale skin. (I would get color from my blush.) After I used it I felt like peeling my face off and discovered that perfume is one of the ingredients. (When are cosmetic companies going to stop putting fragrance in their products?!) On top of that, the powder did not make my skin luminous.

flawless- 03.19.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
makes your skin look flawless. i love this product, It reduces the shine yet makes your skin look radiant at the same time.
I bought this twice already. I bought this mainly because I thought it would be a good alternative to the Guerlain Méteorites powder (which is great but pricey) because of the color combinations. It turned out that it is a good choice. I have oily skin and this was really helpful in controlling the oil.
