Most Helpful Positive Review My favorite color correcting finisher! This is my favorite finishing powder. I live in the Pacific North West so naturally in fair - light skinned. I bought this because I generally have the problem of red spots and usually foundation accentuates it. I got this powder in mint green and I have noticed a world of difference! My skin looks great and the redness is neutralized. The ONLY thing I have to say about it is if you aren't careful and use too much, throughout the day it becomes cakey.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not effective This product highlights only imperfections by enhancing fine lines and wrinkles on face and enlarges the pores. There is no coverage or color payoff whatsoever and leaves white powdery cast or residue that is unnatural looking. It is not worth the time and money for useless product.

LP from Sherman Oaks, CA
I needed hi-def finishing powder for on-camera work, and it was my first time trying this product. I couldn't leave the house, so ordered online and asked a friend to pick up. Three of us tried to open the container to access the powder without success, all the while some of it was spilling out the sides, creating a mess. Inside, much of the powder was caked. I never would have bought this in-store. Money completely wasted.
Favorite! 5
Nicole from St. Louis
This is my favorite powder. I use the translucent to bake and my makeup stays. It also brightens. I have tried many other powders and this is my fave.
Highly recommend 5

I have been looking for the perfect powder to put it all together. This powder makes my face look flawless
Used under eyes, don't recommend 1
Mel from CA
I don't care for this product
Arrived smashed 3
Rikki from Tacoma, WA
It's a pretty good color, and I like it. The application is more difficult without making a mess as it arrived completely smashed. I used a blender to try and push it back down and compact it but...crumbs everywhere.
Big brand coverage without the price 4
Momof2plus1 from Washington
Great setting powder at an affordable price. It's definitely a staple item that I will keep on hand
Love it 5
Lexi from Bettendorf
I have the white powder (don't get it if you are tan or darker go for banana or the other shade then) because I'm the same color as it. It does get rid of oil and makes it not shine. I only apply two or three times a day (school/work so about 14-16 hours a day) I have an oily T-zone so that's why and this really helps me not blind people with my face oils.
So smooth and brightening (Banana Powder) 5
Sam from Orange County, CA
I've been using the banana for YEARS now and I never set my under eye concealer with anything else. It's such a great brightener and makes your under eyes (and the rest of your face if you use it elsewhere also) look nice and smooth. It mattifies, but is not cakey at all. Highly recommend the Banana shade.
Combo/Oily Skin 4
Shanny from MI
I have combo/oily skin in my T-zone & cheeks. I do a light dusting with this after my primer before applying my foundation & helps keep my oils at bay an extra 3-4hrs on my 10hr make-up days! Also use it as my daily for days I don't do a full face & just prime/powder, good for the price & doesn't make me look cakey!

Stark white 2
Iteachkiddos from San Diego
I returned this shade it made me look ghostly. The translucent works much better.
Good 4
Iteachkiddos from San Diego
I had to return and get the translucent because all other shades made me look stark white or too dark. My face shines after a couple hours, but I have oily combo skin.
Been using for years 5
Noor from Texas
I've been using the translucent one since high school and honestly no other powder I've tried comes close. I always come back to this one. I also have oily skin so it can be hard to keep everything set and in place. I love this stuff and I'm a lifetime fan of it!
WHITE AS A GHOST. 1
Aphrodite.Ladyy from San Diego, CA
I bought this as a finishing powder to set my makeup. I wore this to a festival and stayed beautifully EXCEPT the flashback in the photos was horrible. I checked the photo and looked like a GHOST. I have Asian/ warm/yellow undertones and thought translucent would be better than having a mismatched powder. Sorry, but I won't be buying again :(
Best finishing powder 5
kara from Sacramento
Love this finishing powder, good price, lasts for good amount of time, smooths out face, extends makeup wear time, good for summer & gym,
Best affords finishing powder 5
Adri from San Jose
This is one of the best finishing powders that don't give a flashback on pictures and reduces pores! Leaves your skin looking matte (if you're into that type of look). A little powder goes a long way.
Will get again and recommend for a friend 5
Ro from Auburn Hills, MI
Works great, good coverage without changing the color of foundation. Great price not to expensive and last for most of the day with combination skin
Awesome powder 4
Kat from Greenville, SC
I've wanted a translucent powder for a while. I haven't used this for setting makeup full makeup as originally intended, but I've used it in the summer.
This is a great powder to layer over a mineral sunscreen and tinted moisturizer to reduce shine in the summer months. You'll have to reapply after a few hours if you sweat, but I like the finish. It's light and still let's your skin glow. Also wears well over powder highlighter. And yes it's actually translucent.
Quick Fix but not super long lasting 4
Oily skin types beware from Smyrna, TN
It is a very easy to apply product that is a quick fix for us girls with oily skin. I wanted to love it BUT i found that as i wore it throughout the day it would settle into creases making a Cakey appearance. Not to mention i was still oily. I used a primer before foundation, concealer and baked my face with the product... same result. If there was a way to ensure the product would actually stay put throughout the day I would absolutely buy this again
Truly translucent finish 5
Shopgirl from DC
I have a darker skin tone and am always looking for a powder that is really translucent because aside from the powder I don't wear anything on my face. This powder takes away shine and doesn't have a white cast to it. Definitely a favorite of mine and the low price is the cherry on top.
Love this powder 5
Frankie from Texas
I really love this banana shade setting powder because it minimizes the redness in my complexion while taking away shine. I'm very happy with my purchase.
First time but became one of my must have products 5
Daisy from Houston, Tx
I placed it on my under eyes after concealer and it really brightened it up. Looks beautiful or more put together with just about any contour, completes the face. Definitely recommend!
