I wanted to not like this powder given how expensive it is. I have fair skin and was using elf halo glow loose powder and found it left a slight yellow tinge to my skin. This powder was claimed collectively across Reddit forums to be the best for fair skin, so I kind of just blind bought it after reading a few reviews. The title for the powder says light reflecting so I should have guessed it was glittery. But it’s not the kind of shimmer that’s giving highlighter. It’s very subtle. The colour of the powder doesn’t change the colour of my tinted sunscreen and makes me look matte but glowy somehow at the same time. I may try the matte perfecting powder next time but for now I feel the purchase was worth it.

Loved this and have hit pan already. Extremely smoothing and blurring while not being overly mattifying. Does set my makeup well. For reference, I have drier skin with small pores. Likely will repurchase.

Love
I’ve been using this for a couple months - It’s so beautiful and light on the skin. It doesn’t make your skin look tight and dry but instead blurs the skin to a nice matte finish. Also, my skin tone is light med and I don’t get a white finish..

Good for setting but not mattifying
It’s a great option for a full face setting powder that takes the shiny down a notch but doesn’t mattify. It doesn’t break me out, which is a huge plus for me.

Let down
Makes you look like a ghost. Bought on the recommendation of an employee and really regret it. Also, Sephoras return policy is only 30days now, so if you don’t live close to one, don’t buy in store. Customer service is awful and you won’t get any money back if you dislike the product.

Nice for under eyes
It’s my second one but might be my last. It’s good but I want to try something else. It sets my under eyes well and no crease, no cakey at all.

this is everything to me.
if my makeup bag were lost this is probably one of the products i would replace first. it just perfectly covers the shininess that is produced
in oily regions of my face without taking away any glow this powder is not cakey and sits so beautifully on the skin.
