I’ve used this on & off for the past few months , I’ve come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate it. It does have a nice finish when you first apply it, but it gets shiny again and settles into fine lines so quickly! I’m young and don’t have wrinkles yet but this powder ages me 10000%

Definitely not buying again!
Alright so I hardly do my makeup and so when I do I can definitely tell if I like a product or not. This is the 3rd time I put this makeup on since I bought it back May,20th I’ve been using Dior foundation and absolutely love it but this time instead of pairing it with my usual fenty powder I decided to try hourglass and I really dislike it looks so patchy.

Sheer Pressed Powder To Set & For Touch Ups
Hourglass' Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder is a lightweight powder that can be used to set foundation or take on the go for touch-ups. I have been using Hourglass' Ambient Soft Glow Foundation in 11.5 and Vanish Airbrush Full Coverage Longwear Concealer in Flax 8. I set both with Translucent Tan. Hourglass' pressed powder is lightweight, does not cake up, helps control oily skin (which at 52 years old I still have), and has a nice natural finish. Like Hourglass' foundation, it doesn't make my skin look flat. It's also easy to take along for touch ups. I've never been a big buyer of whether a skincare or makeup comes in a fancy case. That's never been important to me, the actual product and if it does its job is what's important. However, this press powder case feels so luxe. I love pulling it out in the ladies room because I get all sorts of questions about it. Also, it has a good amount of product in the case. Definitely get this.

I bought this item in store after two different employees recommended it to me. One of the employees put it on me with a brush and it looked so good initially. When I got home and tried it myself, the powder seem to have only lasted 2-3 hours before I started to look oily and have shine. Had a very beautiful finish but definitely not oil controlling.

nice & convenient, but be careful of your shade
very nice formula, convenient, and doesn’t make me look too pale or dry out my skin. however! this shade (translucent tan) does lean a bit warm and can sometimes appear *too* orange or golden for me.

Just not for me.
I really liked the casing, but this pressed powder was heavy and really accentuated my fine lines, even with fully prepped skin. It just wasn’t for me.

Great for dry skin
This is a really nice powder for dry skin. It’s very blurring without looking super powdery. I also think the packaging is really nice. I just wish that the compact was smaller, I’m sure the sponge is useful to someone but I’d rather stack the puff on the powder than to have larger packaging.

Go to powder
This is my go‑to pressed powder for quick, natural touch‑ups. It blurs beautifully without looking heavy, dry, or cakey—even when reapplied during the day.
I keep the full size in my purse and also own the mini, which is perfect for travel or smaller clutches. I love that both sizes include a powder puff, which feels surprisingly rare and very thoughtful.
The packaging is luxe, the finish is smooth and airbrushed, and it never looks like I added more makeup—just more polish.

A must for mature skin
After using this product for the past few weeks I am convinced it is the best for mature skin. It is matifying and blurring without emphasizing fine lines. Love it!!

It’s pretty good
Love this stuff. I think it works great. I do kinda think my Kosas one works betterish but the packaging is better on this one since that one breaks so easy. I do like it tho I think it’s nice even for the price.
