Koh Gen Do Premium Pressed Powder

What it is: A mineral pressed powder that harnesses Koh Gen Do’s newest advanced powder technology.What it does: This powder combines three subtle shades to give a natural high-polished sheer finish that also diffuses fine lines and pores like a perfect veil. Clear Keeping Powder prevents a dull finish caused by oil and sweat accumulation. A pearlescent Clear Luminous Powder helps keep the skin’s glow for hours. And Mirror Ball Powder, a round-shaped powder with a scale-like reflective surface creates a prismatic light giving a soft-focus effect to the skin. It diminishes the appearance of pores, fine lines, and uneven surfaces that give off a shadow. In addition, four specifically cut powders (oil controlling, water-resistant, amino acid, and moisture coating) work to create this high-definition finish.This set contains:- 0.35 oz powder compact- Brush- Brush case- Soft cloth compact bagWhat it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes- Phthalates- GMOs- TriclosanWhat else you need to know: This powder will not become cakey or powdery and flawlessly blends into the skin. The powder is infused with premium grade emollients of shea butter, jojoba seed oil, olive squalane, plus ceramide 3 to help restore the skin’s barrier.

Nice Finish

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine
I love the fine powder of this brand. It provides a finish that is sheer but not flat. I still have an oily complexion which profits from this pressed powder.

A little too sparkly
-03.30.13
Smooths and is sheer, but too many sparkles. I also don't like that it doesn't come with the sponge or poof. Still have to carry a separate brush, which defeats the purpose of having a portable compact.

Smooth
-10.20.12
I really wanted to love this product. My complexion was very smooth with this powder on. I bought it for a polished-flawless finish and to have that "healthy glow" effect to my skin. It did leave a nice finish but not what I was expecting. I wanted to look airbrushed, I ended up looking slightly powdery...i had to blot my face with a wet towel. The powder is beautiful in the compact and it is packaged very high end, but I felt for the price it did not control my combo skin that well. It was a nice matte finish when first applied, but oils began to seep through with time. I was trying to replace my Armani Luminous powder and I will sadly return this one and repurchase that one again instead.

Sheer covering of perfection!
-09.27.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, moisturizing, natural
WOW! I originally hesitated purchasing this powder ... I had a difficult time justifying spending $73 on a finishing powder. It's been worth every penny! I've tried powders from almost every brand at Sephora and this is hands-down the best I have ever used. It feels and looks amazing on my dry skin. It doesn't cake (even after 12+ hours!) and it doesn't settle into the fine lines by my eyes. It's incredibly soft, sheer, and natural looking - all while minimizing the pores around my nose and evening out my skintone. I love that it adds a healthy glow and doesn't break my skin out too!

The best
-08.08.12
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine, high definition
This powder is by at the best powder I have ever used, it works very well keeping my skin from getting oily, yet it doesn't over dry like a veil. It isn't completely matte, it had some light sheen to it, but you can load it on and it still looks great. I've gotten an immense amount of compliments and I'm very happy with the purchase
