The powder will not come off of the pan. It's like it's as hard as a rock. What do I do? I tried scraping of the top layer but no luck. I've used 3 different types of brushes. It's still hard pan. It's brand new, do you have any advice?
- Asked by Powderpuff
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertWe're sorry you're having that problem! We recommend using a fluffy brush to rub off the top layer. Then, it becomes very powdery!Was this answer helpful to you

Above the rest!
I love how well this product works to set my foundation. It doesn't crease when I use to set my under eye area which is a HUGE plus for me. I also love that it comes in a convenient compact so I can take it everywhere with me (which I do) to do touch ups throughout the day. I also completely love th...

Not as Great As I'd Hoped
I have super oily skin and only get hormonal breakouts on my chin twice a month; during ovulation and during menstruation. I bought this product to manage my oily skin better when I'm out and about. I usually use those oil blotting sheets, but they do remove makeup, so I thought I'd give some presse...

My favorite powder
I liked this pressed powder because it's not messy and doesn't add color. Just gives a matte finish!
Too fragile
This is a very lightly pressed powder that umtjmately will shatter with the slightest jostling. I hadn't needed to travel with this until recently - I packed by makeup bag, put it in my carry-on suitcase, then realized I wanted to add something so I took the makeup bag back out. It was then that I found that the powder had shattered with the most gentle/minimal handling. The powder itself is a nice product and worked well on my dry skin to set makeup, but the fragility is not worth it. Maybe if the compact material was better quality, the powder would be better protected?
Not as good as the loose powder
Would rather have the loose powder than this product
Second time purchasing
this is very light and airy. i don't use the brush that's included, i use the real techniques powder sponge and it delivers a flawless finish. my skin is ultra sensitive and this does not bother me at all.
I really like
Great product, leaves beautiful finish. I accidentally used a brush with other powder on it when applying the 1st time and it left a residue on the edges of the compact. I can't get it off. So half of the product is unusable. Next time I will choose loose powder.
