Editor Review

Rated a 8

I don't know about you, but coating my face with French "cashmere" talc sounds almost as good as a bubble bath. Like any loose powder, this can get messy if its classic sifting canister is jerked around. The tinted powder inside reflects light with near-microscopic shimmer, providing a light finish that mutes small imperfections. Makeup is instantly set with sheer, non-drying coverage, as opposed to heavier, potentially itchy powders.

    I work both as an actor and as a stylist/makeup artist-I have used this product religiously for years and haven't found anything better-it is the perfect setting powder-doesn't crease, settle or crack- I have used this on Roger Waters and he looked Fabulous for his documentary! I would highly recommend this product to anyo...ne looking for the best on the market. May 3, 2008, 12:07 pm

    Good Product!

    by mvap47 (345 reviews)

    I love how this finishes off my face. It is smooth, like silk. It is a bit over priced and the only downfall is that I feel like I can't get the perfect amount on the brush. If I get too much on it, there isn't really anywhere to tap it without wasting product.....But it works great!! May 3, 2008, 4:18 am

    keeps me matte for hours

    by dprincess (3 reviews)
    I am a diehard LM fan and out of all her products I just might love this one the best (but it is a close tie with the shimmer bronzer). This is very finely milled and keeps my gigantor oily forehead from looking crazy for at least six hours. I will go back to this again and again. March 22, 2008, 2:21 am

    Amazing Soft Finish

    by Meaghanb123 (22 reviews)
    Trusted Review
    If you are going for a soft glow finish this is your product. Especially great for weddings or other times when lots of photos are going to be taken. This product doesnt have an SPF so it wont give you that "ohmigod the flash made my forehead and cheeks look like a grease pit!" kind of look. Terrific for those d...ays when you want minimal product with maximum effect- a quick sweep of this and your skin looks even in tone and you are good to go. Great for those that dont like to feel made up as the cashmere really feels wonderful on the skin and is weightless and wonderful! October 29, 2007, 10:45 pm

    Simply luxurious

    by beautediva (3 reviews)
    This is the best loose powder I have ever used. It lives up to the hype. It is amazing how my skin looks after I put it on. It is appears very pale but the translucent works even on my dark skin. I would have to say it is a luxurious experience putting this powder on especially with the velvet puff. November 29, 2007, 7:22 pm

    Works GREAT for My Pale Skin

    by IrishJane (135 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review
    This powder is amazing. I have oily and very fair skin. Not only does it help with oil control (something that most products don't) it is also one of the VERY few powders I can wear that isn't too dark for my skin. This is one of two powders that I will ever use. I am very satisfied. May 2, 2008, 10:36 am

    The Best!

    by NoraCharles (88 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    This is the world's best loose powder. It sets foundation perfectly and is the best base for powder blush or bronzer. It looks completely natural, and it never cakes. The finish is fantastic, the greatest glow, but with no detectable shimmer. April 20, 2008, 6:52 am

    VERY good product

    by Pugs4ever (1 review)
    I love this powder! I have it in translucent, and it looks great on my fair skin. Out performs any other loose powder I have tried in the past. I am not even going to search for a less expensive alternative, cause this is the best by far. I also have her pressed powder in translucent, and it is amazing as well for on-the-...go uses.

    Awesome Stuff

    by jjwmn62 (10 reviews)
    I have tried several loose powders and this is the best I have used. It doesn't have any tinted color to it so you can use it with whatever color of foundation you use and it feels and works great. It is Awesome. February 17, 2008, 10:08 am

    I would give it 100 stars...

    by minxygirl (8 reviews)
    I cannot bear to be apart from this power. It's so light and pretty. I wear it over my foundation to give my skin a smooth feel. The ivory color helps hide my red cheeks and chin. It's just pretty, easy to use, and it's so light on your skin. December 15, 2007, 9:40 pm
