vthis was quite a disappointing purchase..i did the pposite of what is mentioned, it made skin shiny and patchy instead..there was no shine control or soft focus...this was more like applying 'Highlighter' all over your face unfortunetly

12 hour shine control
After using this for a few months, I really appreciated the brand Ilia. I get shine in my t-zone area and sometimes nasolabial area. This really helped keep the shine away.

One of my new faves
Super lightweight, blurring, while still adding coverage and a soft wash of color without being cakey or too heavy on my skin. Doesn’t look dry or patchy and helps set my makeup and provides an even finish and doesn’t set in to my pores in an obvious way. I love this powder, it’s perfect!

Great for setting makeup
I really like this finishing powder. It feels lightweight on the skin and helps set my makeup while keeping excess shine under control. I especially like how it gives the skin a soft, smooth-looking finish without making my makeup look heavy or cakey. The Translucent Deep shade works well for deeper skin tones, and the powder blends easily into my makeup. It’s become a great finishing step in my routine.

This is a great powder to use with the Ilia Tint Serum since it normally leaves a ver high shine look. This powder has helped control some of that shine without it looking too cakey and still leaving some natural glow to the skin. The packaging is amazing coming with the compact mirror and powder applicator making it easy to carry with me. It also has a slight blurring effect that reminds me or their powder blush formula. Love this new Ilia product!

I received this as a free sample from PINCHme. I use it on top of my ILIA foundation and it works well to make my face appear smooth and matte. It's easy to apply and stayed on all day. I removed it with soap and water and haven't had any negative reactions. I'll definitely continue to use this to reduce oiliness and visible pores

Didn’t work for me
I usually love ilia products but this one didn’t do anything for me really. I love their mascaras and lip formulas but this powder wasn’t for me. My face still looked kinda greasy.

Surpassed my expectations!
I’ll be honest, I had never heard of ILIA before trying this, so I really didn’t know what to expect. As someone with normal-to-dry skin, I’m usually cautious with finishing powders because they can quickly make my skin look flat, dry, or emphasize texture. This one completely surprised me.
The thing I love most is the way it actually seems to soften the appearance of my skin rather than just sit on top of it. The powder is incredibly fine, and once it’s pressed into the skin, it gives that almost “soft-focus filter” effect. My pores and little areas of texture look more diffused, but my skin still looks like skin. It doesn’t give me that heavy, powdered-over appearance.
I also really appreciate the finish. It takes away unwanted shine without completely killing the natural dimension of my face, which is especially important with my normal-to-dry skin. I can use it where I need it without feeling like I’ve powdered my entire face into oblivion. It leaves my makeup looking smoother and more polished while still looking soft and natural.
Another little detail I noticed is how well it works around areas where powder can usually be unforgiving. Instead of immediately making my skin look dry or emphasizing texture, it gives everything a more blurred, refined appearance. It’s one of those products where you notice the overall finish more than you notice that you’re wearing powder.
The one thing I didn’t really care for is the applicator. I personally prefer using a brush because I feel like I have much better control over how much product I’m applying, especially since I don’t need a lot of powder with my skin type. The powder itself is beautiful—the applicator just isn’t my favorite way to apply it.
Overall, this was such a pleasant surprise from a brand I had never tried before. I went in with zero expectations and came out genuinely impressed.
