Surprisingly impressed

I purchased this on a whim, needing a powder in a hurry and am really quite pleased with the results. There was a pretty good range of colours. I think it gives quite a natural, semi-matte finish. I can reapply once during the day (which is all I need, over my T-zone) and no cakey finish!

Tips: I think this needs to be applied with a big soft brush that is not overly dense. I believe it may get a bit cakey if applied too with a kabuki or something similar. A great powder for makeup beginners, cheap yet good quality and easy to work with!

not my favourite

Not my favorite powder but it's pretty good. Very smooth and isn't too bad. Very matte, so it is a very good match with the fit me liquid foundation because it is very oily and this is very matte. Doesn't last very long I find myself having to reapply it a couple of times throughout that day. It doesn't cover much so you have to apply quite a lot and it ends up very heavy and caked. This powder smells quite nice though xx

Tips: After applying use a highlighter on the cheekbones and browbone or any areas on the face to highlight to make it look less matte and make it look glowing. This will make your face look more awake and young. Less cakes and more natural.

Average

This is a good powder if you're looking for something which has a very natural look. Saying that, the coverage isn't the best, you have to put quite a bit on for it to cover anything.

Tips: I use it on top of foundation for the best result.

just ok...

Wasn't too keen on this powder. It didn't seem to do much at all. In fact I could keep applying and applying and barely notice any Difference over top of my foundation. I like a powder with more coverage which this doesn't have at all.

Fit me doesn't fit me

I'm fairly new to the whole foundation/concealer process. I was issued the Fit me foundation stick trial from Beautyreview, so I purchased this powder to match.

The packaging is rather bulky and large compared to the product inside. There is very little product. It's not convenient for a makeup bag, or in fact to fit in my makeup drawers. It is a nuisance.

I find that the formula is very powdery, almost chalky consistency. It goes on nice and easy, but has very minimal coverage which doesn't impress me. I like to have something that is very full coverage, otherwise I don't see the point.

It doesn't set in very well, and I find that when I touch my face, it comes off on my fingers. However it does a nice job of making my face appear brighter.

I do like that it is lightweight as I don't like the feel of make up on my face and it gives you a subtle, natural look, and the light coverage, I guess is a good use on good skin days, where my acne scarring and pimples have faded, but other than that it's pretty mehhh.

While I will continue to use this, I definitely would not re-buy.

Tips: I recommend using it over your foundation and concealer routine to set it all in. Also use a brush, not the applicator it comes with. It is much more effective.

Pressed Powder

When i tried this powder I was excited! I thought it was gonna be really good! Can say that when i started using it, i was just using it over my concealer (as i wasnt using liquid foundation just yet) and it was good when i DID start using liquid foundation to lighten my face in the awkward summer-to-winter transition phase. But I did find it... ok this is going to sound stupid, but very powdery! it didnt set my foundation (it always moved during the day) and it caked up my face no matter how little i applied. The only positive i found was the brightening aspect, but that only lasted a month before i got sick of it.

Lightweight, natural but not lasting

For me this powder is good for casual, everyday wear as it's lightweight and results in a natural look. It has good coverage but it doesn't tend to last through the day and I need to reapply often. Not really a fan of the packaging and the applicator tends to come apart after frequent use. It's also a bit hard to apply at times. However, it's really affordable so it's a nice option if you're just after something lightweight/casual.

Tips: Requires more than one layer and after applying, use a brush to even it out

Ok powder

This powder is ok but probably not one I would Re buy. First of all I don't like the packaging; it's extremely big for the amount it contins and is average looking at best. It's not easy to slip in a bag or my make up drawers haha. The powder is ok, it does do a good job of setting but had little coverage and I wasn't overly impressed with the finish, but it is better than a lot. The price is ok, and the range of colours Is great. I definitely wouldn't Re purchase unless was super cheap.

LOVE

I loved this powder. Was not to heavy or drying on my face, which is a problem I often have.

The price was great too, and can get it so easily (e.g. supermarket).

Tips: Use a kabuki brush rather than the pouffe you get with it.

Good price

I brought this once in a pinch as I left my make-up at home. I like to use a powder in summer to combat oilyness and this was ok. I would use it again. It gave light coverage which was good as I was using it in summer and I like to have a less make-up look.
