Comments about Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder:
I have been using this for the past 5 months(still using the same container) and it makes my skin look absolutely amazing! I first want to start off by saying how it makes my skin feel and look. I have normal/dry skin, and this does not highlight my dry patches and flakes like other powders have. I use it over Smashbox high definition foundation(which is also amazing, but thats a different review) and it really just finishes off the foundation by making your face look smooth and flawless. It's not drying and doesn't look "powdery" or "cakey" on your face.
Also, this is NOT a foundation!! It's not meant to cover acne scars, dark circles or any other major imperfections! Using it over a BB cream or foundation just enhances the look of your face and complexion. and YES it is expensive but you get .75 oz worth of product, which is 2 1/2 times more then BE, so it really comes out to be a little cheaper! and like i said,I've been using the same container 5 months already and I use it about 4-5 days per week, so a little goes a long way and it's totally worth it! I don't like the brush it comes with but I have my own powder brush anyway!

Comments about Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder:
The case this product comes in is superior. It only allows the amount you need to be released from the unit so there is a fresh batch of product each time. I have yet to see another product use this method. This powder blends better than any I have seen. I use my big powder brush to blend the powder over my smashbox liquid foundation. Blends beautifully. The combination is a must for those who enjoy a light coverage that lasts and looks great all day. I don't know how they combine hydration in a powder, but in Reno, the air is so dry, I like the Hydrating factor.

Comments about Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder:
I was a Bare Minerals user and switched over immediately after this was applied on my face. It tightens the skin after the application, and makes your skin look as though you've never had a blemish!

Comments about Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder:
I use it everyday. It is the only product that blends with my fair skin and does not cause breakouts!! As it is powder, there is a fair amount of product lose and it is expensive. Ulta does not accept coupons for this premium product. Therefore, I have to supplement with a lesser product until I can afford this one...

Comments about Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder:
It was incredibly easy to use and lasted all day. But if you just wear powder it is a very sheer coverage. It would be best prepped with a foundation. But for that kind of price point is expect it to be a two in one. I am fair but and tried both the light and fair color. Light was to dark and fair was super white! If you can match either one, go for it.
