Perfect amount every time!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I love the "twisty" top that shaves off just enough powder. You're in control of the amount of powder, so you use less and can make the product last longer.
In addition, it's just the perfect amount of coverage.

Leaves a healthy glow
-12.28.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I bought both this and the perfecting trio recently. This product goes on silky and leaves me with a healthy glow. Most illuminators leave me with too much sparkle. This works very well when used with the perfecting powder as well. Very happy with this product.

One of Stilla's best! Love the product
-12.20.12
Quick Take: beautiful easy to work with great final finish
This 3-in-1 powder illuminates my face. I first start off with the bare minerals foundation add my blush/bronzer and lastly top off the final look with finishing touches using this product. The cost is a bit much, I'm not sure if its worth over $30, I do like it, and it adds a nice glow under the eyes or right under my eyebrows. This is why I have given it 4 stars

Stila Wins!
-12.05.12
I have been using this powder for years, and i love it. I dont like the shaver thing, but it pops off easily. The powder leaves a beautiful glow that truly lasts all day. Very lightweight and not too shiny. This is my favorite powder. I use this and Stila's tinted moisturizer and Im good to go. :)

Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
Ever since I started using this product, I have received many compliments on how beautiful and glowing my skin looks. Ive also noticed that my make-up tends to stay on longer than before. This should be in every woman's makeup bag.

Subtle & Glowy
-11.15.12
Went in to purchase powder foundation and walked out with this on a recommendation. Very sheer, minimal coverage and doesn't last long but does offer an initial "airbrushed", glowy finish. I find that it's best to only use on the parts of the face you wish to highlight and personally prefer better overall coverage. Too big and bulky to carry in purse for touch-ups. Overall, not a bad addition to the collection.

Nice shimmer
-10.15.12
I like this in the summer alone on my bare face because its light and leaves a nice shimmer and doesn't feel to heavy. I've been trying to make it work over foundation but I've had mixed results. Overall I really like this product!

pretty, but temporary
-09.09.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I miss Prescriptives Magic powder and thought I would give this a try. It is pretty and does give a nice glow to my olive complexion without looking too "done". However, within three too four hours I am reapplying. I have a very active job and am on my feet all day so perhaps it is meant more for going out... it does explicitly advertise "sheer and lightweight" so do not expect all day coverage. I do love it for date night!

Quick Take: soft shimmer
i really enjoy this product. it sets foundation really well and adds a nice luminous glow to your skin. i was first a little hesitant to get this product as to thinking that the luminescence would look too sparkly on my skin, but i ended up loving how subtle and glowy it looks.

pale girls UNITE!
-07.17.12
i've always favored illuminators (i.e. Smashbox's Soft Lights Shimmer product) over blush. as a redhead, it can be hard to find a color that matches the warm tones of my hair and my cool skin coloring. this product works extremely well in providing just the right amount color and sheer highlight for us fair skinned gals. don't expect a lot of color deposit, more just a wash of where color would be naturally (if we weren't almost translucent)

Wonderful illuminator
-06.03.12
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine, sheer coverage, illuminates
This is one of the better illuminators I've tried. I was looking for something that would set my tinted moisturizer (and slightly mattify my skin) and provide some illumination. This fit the bill.
I definitely think this sets makeup and soaks up some facial oils. It could provide a little more illumination than it does, but overall, it's pretty great. Also, the compact size is pretty big, so I think it will last a long time.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine, sheer coverage
this is amazing...sheer and corrects imperfections at the same time. helps with discoloration and controls oil. i use it daily with liquid foundation or just with a tinted moisturizer, either way, it looks great.
