Best loose powder!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine, feels like silk
I've tried so many loose powders and this wins hand down! I know it's a little pricey, but you don't use that much so it's going to last for a long time. It feels like silk and it's VERY natural. Great product! A MUST have!

This product kind of grew on me....
-03.27.13
I wasn't sure what to think when I first tried this powder. The first few applications, I thought, "Well, it's not BAD but certainly not a premium powder or worth this much money....." But as I kept using it, I realized how really versatile it is.
First, I started to realize that it really did give a seamless finish and it could be applied incredibly sparingly (my slightly dry skin likes powder mostly only during summer, so using this for setting upper lid concealer or dusting over the t zone is a great use for this product) or heavier over a moisturizer for an almost powder foundation usage.
It feels light and never creases or cakes and it does tend to last at least a good five or six hours, if not more. As another reviewer noted, it's not sweat proof, but then I don't expect any makeup, particularly a finely milled powder to be!
The thing I think I realized I liked most about this is that, unlike a lot of talc free powders or HD powders, this doesn't leave a chalky or ashy grey/white residue. It just blends well. There's no grit factor, either.
Overall, I'd say if you're specifically looking for a talc free powder that you can use heavier or lighter, with a brush or fingers or with a puff, you would probably do well to try this.

Love.
-11.10.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, skin calming
I use this powder under the breathable tinted primer (an absolutely amazing primer!) and I'm so impressed with how my skin just calms down once it's on. Even hours after I first apply it. I started using it while pregnant and my skin wasn't at its best, but this combo worked really well for me. Calmed my redness and covered my slight blotchiness. I nwhereas the powder alone, and love the light, breathable coverage that doesn't look like a powder once it goes on.

Perfect finisher

Quick Take: reduces shine, sheer coverage
I love this powder, so smooth and feels like heaven on my skin. This is by far the smoothest powder that gives me that final flawless finish. I love how light this feels on my skin!

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine, sheer coverage
This powder is great I will really recommend it to anyone with oily skin or even normal to dry skin. The finish is absolutely fabulous. This powder is my last step on my face routine and I could go from 6am to 10pm and my face will look decent. I do re powder once around 5pm to get ready for my evening and it makes my makeup look fresh again.
