Most Helpful Positive Review New favorite holy grail!! I have been using this product for about two weeks now. I didn't want to write a review right off because I like to try it different ways and wear it several days to see if I really love the product as much as I did the first time I tried it. First off all I love the concept and how you can grind up fresh powder every time. It is very thinly milled and velvety smooth. I thought it was going to be to dark at first glance but it ended up being perfect. I didn't like that the cap was attached and I couldn't dump some product on the cap to not be so messy. It seems to make a mess when I did my brush in. But honestly because of how well this product worked for me I'm still giving it five stars. I usually have a very hard time keeping product on my nose and top lip. Actually I have never gone a full day before without loosing any product there until I tried this. Now mind you I have very dry skin. And this didn't make my skin look caked at all. It didn't even look like I had powder on. My skin looked airbrushed and it continued like that for a full ten hours every time I wore it. I didn't see any problems at all. I like that it's a vegan product and comes in many colors. And I'm super excited to get my hands on the foundation version of this. This picture was taken in my bathroom light after ten hours of wear. Without any filters or any editing at all. This product also wore beautifully under my eyes which I never ever find anything that doesn't look horrid under my mom eyes. ;)
Most Helpful Critical Review on the fence I'm still on the fence about this powder. I've tried it over full coverage foundations, light coverage, and just over primer and concealer. I'm not really wild about it on top of full coverage foundation. It someone ends up making my skin look oilier through out the day when I wore it with FC and I know it wasn't anything else because I kept all other variables the same. But with light coverage or just concealer for no makeup makeup days, it did pretty well. I'm still definitely gonna use it up but I would recommend it for using for lighter makeup days. It wasn't long wearing with fuller coverage but was for lighter coverage and I'm not fully sure how that works but oh well. The grinding feature is interesting but honestly kinda gimmicky to me. I don't see the actual purpose of it. Didn't notice much of a difference in coverage from the powder. All in all it's a nice powder I just don't think I'd repurchase because I wasn't wowed.

Less powder 5
Lisa from Ohio
I've used this powder for years. It was .75 ounces when it first came out, then they dropped it to .50....now it's .35 ounces. I was about to purchase a new one, because I love it, but I will find something else. Too expensive for such a small amount of product. Very nice powder though.
I will buy this product again but disappointed in the size 3
Linda from Kingwood, TX
I have been using this Smashbox Powder for years. I have sensitive skin and this product has always worked great. I am truly disappointed to see that Smashbox has reduced the contents from .50 oz to .35 oz.
Careful ladies! 3
Cakeface from Salisbury, MD
Careful ladies!! I've been buying the product for years! I bought it again recently because I was almost out & well COVID has kept the shelves pretty empty. I noticed the new packaging. Well I opened the new container today and happened to look at the back. The product now measures .35oz instead of the prior .50oz. FOR THE SAME PRICE. So! With that said I will be returning & looking at other brands. Come on smashbox! Do you really think we don't pay attention?!
I would buy this again 5
Rachel from The Woodlands, TX
It works really well with great coverage
Less product same price 3
Bella from Delaware
Shame on Smashbox. New and improved means 30% less product at the same price. Disappointing.
Wow. 5
kaileyl5 from Bethpage, NY
Was pleasantly surprised by how incredible this powder is. Don't love loose powders, just because of how messy than can be.. but this packaging is everything! Love how effortless this is and how flawlessly this makes my skin looks. Evens out my skin tone and blurs my imperfections. I love it on its own or lightly dusted on top of foundation. It's truly one of my favorites!
When did they take away .15 oz and charge the same price? 3
Kris from NJ
I have been wearing this power for over a year. I love it! I just bought new container. It wasn't till I got home and compared it to my old pallet that I realized it is only .35 oz. The one I own is .50 oz. Quite deceiving to cut out product and charge the same amount. Disappointing.
I like it but the previous version was better 4
Lauri from TX
It gives you a great matte finish....it just doesn't wear well. The original only needed to be applied once a day maybe twice if I was going out. This needs to be reapplied multiple times a day. Also, the color is slightly darker than the original version.
When I need a non-translucent powder - this is it 5
kristinafh from Indiana
This powder is so good to use when I'm looking for something that can add a bit of color to my light / medium coverage foundation. I have dry skin so using powders is tricky. I use this every day for my eyelids (after applying mac paint pot).
one of the best powder foundations 5
kimb126 from Petawawa
I believe halo was one the first to get the concept of the glow from within. Without sparkles which is huge. Love the build able coverage and the price is good for the amount. For those who don't like to use foundations or a lot of product then this is for you
the best powder foundation 5
borellibru from Troy, MI
I loved this product!
I'm completely obsessed about that and I can't leave home without it anymore!
It looks natural and cover everything I want to hide! It's perfect! It's not too matte, it shows some glow! Fits perfectly!Smashbox Cosmetics Halo Fesh Perfecting Powder Foundation
So messy!! 3
kikimaree from Philadelphia, MS
I REALLY wanted to like this product. I think the idea is great, and I love smashbox cosmetics. I feel like the design in the lid is lacking. Maybe a tighter seal to prevent excess powder from spilling out? The compact itself is gorgeous. My favorite compact, actually! Just such a shame to lose any ground powder that I may have left over.
My HG Powder 5
itsmox3 from Troy, MI
This is the best powder I've ever used! It doesn't break me out and gives me that light air brushed looked. It's subtle enough for everyday use and blurs everything nicely. When I use a primer under power, it lasts all day and keeps oil under control. Haven't tried since the new packaging but looking forward to it.
Nice and light 4
emilyc8228 from Winooski, VT
This works great as a setting powder or if you're looking for light coverage. I also really liked that you can shave as much as you need each time you use it so there's less mess.
NOT NEW - JUST SMALLER LESSER AMOUNT 2
Tute from Chicago
Wow! So disappointed in Smashbox! Have been using this powder for years and love the product itself. So to
really claim that this is a new product - common! It's a new smaller package, that's it! It's the same powder only shrank by 5 grams- the old one was 15 grams the new is 10 grams. See for yourselves in the picture attached.
very nice finish 5
glamcatt from Eloise, FL
I used this powder over my foundation and it looked so good. My skin was glowy but not in a oily way. Just made my skin look fresh and nice. It's the powder I've been reaching for more and more lately! And I will be purchasing it again when I run out! Thanks #influenstervoxbox for introducing me to it.
meh 2
beautybynicole from Sunrise, FL
I recieved this in a vox box and it wasn't the worst but it also wasn't my favorite. I think the powder grinder was cool but otherwise it was a basic powder.
One of the best powder foundations out there 5
tiffa0 from Mather, PA
I LOVE this powder foundation. The shade match is perfect, and im so happy to see that there is even a shade lighter than mine (normally i have to get the lightest shade and its still too dark.) This gives a beautiful medium, matte coverage. The compact is HUGE. I love it! I'm a Bare Minerals girl for life, but this powder foundation gives them a run for their money. I have already recommended to everyone!
great setting powder! 5
juliek12 from Grain Valley, MO
I really enjoy this product! I like that I am able to twist up just the amount that I need. It's a smooth, lightweight finish. It's also a light coverage. I use this to set my foundation. It's a little too sheer for me to use on its own, but I need fuller coverage due to rosacea.
Love the packaging 4
tarasuet from Paterson , NJ
I love the Innovacion of the packaging. The product was light weight and gave a very natural finish the skin however just not enough coverage I would like from a foundation powder. I don't know if I would re-purchase in the future.
Hello beautiful skin! 5
thepreppymermaid from Neptune City, NJ
Love this product!! Not only is it a perfect shade for my usually hard to match fair skin but it leaves my makeup looking flawless! I have very dry skin and worry that certain finishing products like powders will cause my skin to look extra dry or cakey but this is worked amazingly! I also love the grinder technology to get just the right amount of powder I personally need without making a mess or wasting anything! Bonus- it has its own mirror! Definitely would recommend giving this a shot if you are looking for a new powder!
Long lasting, soft airbrush look 4
aprilo2 from Hemet, CA
I'm loving the soft, natural, air brush look. It was honestly fun to use due to the build-in powederizer that grinds the power! The way it applied on my skin nice and smooth was a amazing, and the shade that was sent to me Light/Medium was a perfect match!
I guess one thing I wish it had was a scent to it. I'm not sure if it was just me but I couldn't smell anything. And I'm the type of person that loves scents on makeup products. [product:smashbox-halo-fresh-perfecting-powder-light/medium-035-oz/-99-g]
Your Skin but Better 5
alejandrage390 from Hayward, CA
I Was honestly really impressed with this product. I really like the twist to get fresh powder and I loved how natural it looked. It really felt like an upgraded version of your own skin. I am used to wearing a very heavy powder but I love the light weight feel for this. Absolutely see myself repurchasing forever!
