I don't really need to set my foundation since I go for a fresh, dewy, hydrated look, but I do need to set my under-eye concealer with a powder to prevent mascara smudges. My friend was gracious...

I have used up around 4 of these, and every time I finish one I hesitate on repurchasing because of the $$. It's just a translucent loose powder, why do I always gravitate back towards this...

This is a great powder. I have the GLOW version. I love how fine the powder is, and I find it very flexible to work with. Agreed it can sometimes look cakey if I over do it, but then I found that a...

I watched Goss Makeup Artist's video on why foundation may oxidize on your face, and one of the possible culprits could be, a coloured loose/setting powder. He carried on about how he always...

It's good but you can go drugstore with the same results. Not much else to say... Very expensive though..

This is the best powder I have bought and have no regrets about paying that much for it. It has always made my skin look flawless. I wouldnt say the packaging however is ideal for travelling.
