-02.21.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage
Love this powder. Great for fair skin. I use Fair Isle. Gives me a glowy illuminating look without being sparkly or greasy. I use a duo fibre brush to dust/buff my face. So easy. I wish the powder wasnt so expensive and even worse, it's been discontinued. i called several Fresh stores trying to track this down!

Lovely powder!
-02.07.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage
This is by far the most amazing powder I've ever used and believe me, I've used a lot :) What I love most about this powder is the finish. It gives you a kind of glowing, dewy look, without covering the foundation entirely up. I feel that with a lot of powders, they either don't cover enough or they're too cakey. This blends perfectly. I got a lot of compliments the first time I wore it. I wear it over my Kat Von D lock it tatoo foundation. I about had a panic attack when it was out of stock on the sephora website! It is a little pricey, but well worth it and it lasts quite a while.

Fair Isle Face Luster
-02.05.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage, natural, glowing, light, good color match, blends easily, not long-lasting, expensive
I really like the way that this makes my skin look. The finish is very natural and matches my skin nicely. I have olive skin with pink and yellow undertones, and Fair Isle is a good match for me.
I do notice that I get a little oily after a few hours, which I don't like. I also just ordered a new one online and discovered that the container is larger, but there is about half as much makeup (0.28) as there was in the last one I bought (0.42) and the price has stayed the same! The last one didn't last me very long to start out with, and I don't feel very good about paying the same price for half of the product! Not sure that I will buy it again, which is a shame because I really like this product overall.

Don't Get It

Quick Take: skin perfecting
Why don't you carry Croisette?! It's not discontinued because you can get it on the Fresh.com site.I discovered it when you carried it originally and I'd rather do my one-stop shopping here @ Sephora. Please offer Croisette again.
Thanks.

seventh veil -light coverage, yellow undertones
-01.01.13
Quick Take: soft glow, light coverage, believable color tint, a bit pricey for amount of product, non-irritating
Fresh face luster gives light coverage w/ a soft focus glow. When my skin is in a sensitive or blemish stage it doesn't irritate or clog pores. It doesn't provide coverage for blemishes so I use a concealer (try Murad medicated blemish concealer stick) underneath.
-please note- when in a humid climate my skin leans towards oily & the shimmer can cause me to appeard greasy. Also it doesn't tend to give all day coverage. It is pricey so u might use something else for coverage w/ fresh face luster sparingly & you'll get a beautiful look while making this compact last.
Also important! Seventh veil definitely has a yellow undertone! It isn't at all a cool color & has both apparent pinks or reds. For my skin tone I need cool &pink undertones. When wearing seventh veil I had multiple people tell me I looked unhealthy or that my color wasn't good. It had a natural enough look for then to believe the tint came from my skin..I'd say FFL deserves some applause for simultaneously providing a very natural/UN-made-up look while giving enough stand-out color to completely change the appearance off my skin tone to a different but believable color!

This powder is freaking awesome! I read all the reviews and decided to try it for myself. I was very pleased with it. When I first put it on, I thought it might be too light, but it blended perfectly with my foundation. It's not cakey like a lot of powders I've used. It gives you a perfect, dewy finish.

Best Press Powder!!!
-11.12.12
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine, brightening, glowing look, not heavy
This is my all time favorite press powder! I cannot use anything else but this! I have sensitive, oily, and semi-dry skin and this product does wonder. It gives me such a nice, bright, and natural look! It does not make my face feel cakey or heavy at all. I absolutely LOVE IT. The only down part is that they don't carry this in store anymore and they tend to run out of my color ofter.

great powder, but plain compact bums me out
-11.09.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I like the powder itself, which is soft and light on my skin and blends nicely. I have light olive skin, and I chose the "chalet girl" which is a good match for me. I sorta with that Sephora or Fresh would use descriptors for these colors, as it is a pain to have to read all of the reviews to find which one would suit best; a simple "fair, medium, dark, rosy, olive, cool, and/or warm" descriptor would be a great help.
Also, be warned---my compact is not the pretty flowery compact that is in the photo. It is plain silver with the word "fresh" on the top. Nice, but not nearly as special or pretty as the one pictured. As minor as that is, I am bummed about that.
That said, much of my complaint would be moot if I had been able to shop at a Sephora store. I have several that are local, but am currently "at home" with two very small boys. Going to a mall store with rambunctious kiddos(post-stroller, pre-school) is not such a good idea for now, so internet shopping is my friend. Had I seen the product in person, I might have made different choices.

Quick Take: great for coverage
This face powder is my favorite makeup I've ever tried. Great coverage, easy to apply, perfect color for me, natural looking, and photographs like my face has been airbrushed. I hope they never stop making this makeup. I love it. I just wish they would change the packaging to a flip open instead of a screw off cap. I use Sandy Lane shade.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, non-irritating
I had tried so many different powders before I finally decided to spend a little extra money and I'm so glad I did. I tried Clinique, Sephora Brand, Laura Mercier, Benefit, Bare Minerals, and so many others. This is the first powder that matched my skin tone almost perfectly. I have also always had problems with acne and found this powder not at all irritating to my skin. As long as I keep my brushes clean, I've never had a major break out when using this powder.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine
I bought this to use as a powder over my stila foundation and really loved it!! It is a great finishing powder, it evens skin tone out and has a matte finish and is very light. It also gives you a slight glow. I wouldnt use it heavily by itself, but with a foundation it gives you a smooth, even, glowy finish. It was a bit pricey, so I use only as a finish.

Face Luster Powder
-06.07.12
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine, sheer coverage
I have tried around fifty different types of powders and foundations, and this is by far my favorite. I prefer a natural look, and when you wear this powder, your skin looks flawless but you don't appear to be wearing make-up, even in bright sunlight. I'm very disappointed that Sephora no longer carries this product in stores.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage
Luster doesn't begin to describe it! I bought chalet girl and it matches great and the powder itself is great but man was it shiny! It's like taking BE radiance and putting it all over your face. It's not for me! I'm too old to look all glittery!

Fresh Luster
-03.06.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I originally ordered this as a finishing powder. The sponge isn't the greatest applicator. It also had more of a drying effect than a flawless finishing effect.
As a foundation itself, it is nice and sheer, light, and healthy looking finish.
It is expensive, very, especially if I can't use it how I intended to. Overall, it is a beautiful powder, but not what I was looking for or wanted.
