Good stuff.

I like the texture--smooth, not chalky. The color was nice also, and matched my skintone fairly well. It wasn't mattifying or anything special, it was just a great powder. The only reason I won't repurchase it is because the packaging is crap, even though it seems sturdy. The plastic where the hinges is breaks easily.

Had high hopes for this....

Saaammage on YouTube always raves about this being her holy grail powder and since she has oily skin like me I knew I had to try it especially when this was half off on Ulta's website. This powder is very sheer and I didn't feel that it covered anything. This claims to have a natural finish on your skin and I agree with that but at the same time, there's no coverage. There's not a lot of fallout i...read moref you like that kind of thing. The texture on this is pretty rough and not as silky as I thought it would be. If I rub my finger in this to swatch, I can hear the sound it makes. That's how I know. This did not make my pores look smaller or make my face look flawless like it claims. It didn't really do much at all for my skin. Good thing is that it doesn't get cakey at all even if I try to build the color to no luck. I like how this blends into the skin nicely. I got this in the color 25 because they were out of the lighter shade. It looks really dark in the pan but sheers out when I blend this. Overall, I was really disappointed with this product because so many people love this but for me it didn't do much at all.

Not too bad

This powder is very silky and nice to use. The mirror included is a plus. Since I have an oily t-zone, it didn't do much for oil control. Would not buy again.

CARGO Rocks

What would I do without my Blu Ray? I wear this daily and it is amazing. It goes on so smoothly and is full coverage enough to wear alone. I however do dust some of my Bare Minerals shade on top only because the Blu Ray coloring is a bit off. I wear 30 which is a tad light and yellow, but the 40 is too dark and orange. But its ok I love it enough I found a way to make it work!

This is my go to pressed powder!!!!

It seems to match my skintone the best. It usually lasts me about 2 to 3 months which I think is great since I love using it everyday. It doesn't look cakey and it just blends so well. I will never stop buying.

MY FAVORITE FACE POWDER SO FAR!

I picked up this pressed powder in shade 20 to replace my Benefit Hello Flawless which is a shade too light for my summer tan. Not only is the blu_ray powder less expensive, when I use it with the blu_ray activating primer, it looks so smooth after application. It doesn't settle into my fine lines and pores the way certain mineral foundations tend to. And with a bit of extra layering, it even cove...read morers the rosacea on my cheeks without looking cakey or having to use any liquid foundation. I like it the result even more than with the Benefit powder. Bonus! This product gets a hazard rating of 1 out of 10!

Cargo Cosmetics blu_ray - Light

I haven't tried a ton of Cargo Cosmetics and being sort of new to buying makeup online made me hesitate. Anyhow I ended up ordering it off eBeauty and couldn't be more pleased. I really liked the makeup case it came in...a lot sleeker than some other ones I've used before. It went on nicely, not too heavily at all like a lot of other drugstore brands I've used. Maybe there only used to be one colo...read morer but when I ordered mine I noticed that there were 4 different shades to choose from, so maybe they've made a few improvements to the product? I'm pretty pale and the light color was perfect for me. I would definitely buy this again when I run out!

Cargo Powder -- Must Buy

This powder is incredible. I use it as a finishing touch to set my makeup. It minimizes pores, eliminates shine and makes my acne-prone combo skin look perfect! I used it for my wedding day 2 years ago. My ceremony was outside, in the harsh, unforgiving light and my skin looked airbrushed. I've been using the same compact ever since and it's STILL not gone. I am now a loyal Cargo customer. As ...read morea note, all the Cargo blu-ray products are nice, but the pressed powder is definitely the best.
