Not a great powder.

I buy a lot of Benefit products, and this wasn't up to par. I expected a nice, smooth finish. It just sat on my face and looked blotchy.

Love

This is an outstanding bronzer for fair skin. It's one of the only powders I've found that I can brush all over my face (like most people do with darker bronzers) and I actually get a nice, natural glow instead of looking ridiculous and/or orange. "Rose-gold" really is the best way to describe the color and it does have a bit of shimmer to it so I still try to use it with a light hand so as not to...read more end up too sparkly. I never liked the brush that came with this. They might be on to something with the fan shape, but the lack of a good handle made it seem useless to me. I understand it had to be shaped that way to fit in the container, but I eventually threw it out (this is why I took off one star, otherwise it's definitely a 10 star product). I like the screw on lid and I recommend leaving the plastic insert in place or it might make a bit of a mess. It's definitely best to test this out in store before buying, because I'm not sure how well it will work on darker skin tones, but on my fair skin I think it's just lovely.

Gives a beautiful warm glow

If you are at all familiar with the Bare Escentuals face powders, I'd say this is quite similar in the way it gives you a nice, not overly-made-up glow. At the store, one of the selling points from the sales associate was the fact that it comes with a brush, but the brush is not great at all. Since I've been using BE for several years, I have plenty of brushes that work well with this product. Fro...read morem the feel of it, the quantity is sufficient to last several months, so it really is a good value. It's great all year round, but it will be especially nice in the winter when my skin needs a little help from makeup to look sunkissed.

Ehh!

Hmm ...It was only OK for me ... for the price, I guess I expected more. It didn't last & it didn't seem to blend well with my other makeup musts! ... plus, I didn't even get that "rose gold glow" color or shimmer, that I expected It was just kinda ...bland, compared to the way it's advertised; with the aesthetically pleasing little packaging & cute catch phrases. I think it's just too expense for something that didn't. But ..that's just me!

Wonderful face powder

I purchased this instead of my usual mineral face powder and was so surprised how great it works. Very light and airy.
