I have to say initially I did not find the real talent of this loose powder. This powder is white and I thought it will be too much as a setting powder.It is not as translucent as I wish it were. But when I started using it the right way I realized that this powder is awesome. I took a long time to to use it in many ways before this review.

This powder comes in a simple packaging, a sticker which I removed and kept the soft puff on top of it. The puff is amazing, it is like velvet.But again I am not sure how much it can be washed and reused, bacteria would be problem if you use it often and store it back in the pot.

I tried using the powder with the puff by slightly pressing it on the face, it kind of gave me a whitish cast. The puff does not blend but only sets the powder on top of your makeup.Secondly I tried using it with a powder brush and I swirled the powder on the face and I saw the powder blends beautifully onto the skin.The powder has a slight sheen to just for a light luminosity and not a dull matte finish.On its own it will simply mattify skin.

The powder works awesome to set makeup and just neutralize any overdone foundation shade or anything that you would like to tone down and melt in the skin. The powder works great for setting concealer too and I love the finish it gives to brighten eyes.Then you can set your eye primer lightly with this. You can set your foundation with this one. You can dust it on top of your lipstick to set it and last longer. You can apply it under the eyes to catch shadow fall out. There is so much to do with this sheen loose powder I am so happy to own this, you have no idea.

The powder is very very light, like wearing no makeup.It set my concealer for 4-5 hours and makeup for 4 hours roughly. This blends beautifully into the skin and it does not give a cakey or matte or white look and it does not make your foundation cakey. There is a trick to it, you have to take very very less amount of the product.When I use the puff to pat it on, it looks awful.But when I swirl it with the brush my skin looks even and brighter but you have to be careful not to overdo it.

Remember the coverage is very light, it will not hide pores and and will not mattify for too long.

Apart from taking care of using very less, I wish it would mattify skin for longer on my oily skin. Otherwise I love this powder to brighten, mattify and set my makeup.It is awesome and has many uses, I highly recommend it.It does melts into skin when used lightly and would be good for all skin tones.
