Collection Cosmetics Pressed Powder, Velvety Matte Finish, 17g, Ivory

PROS :- light-as-air,- super silky to the touch,- natural finish, neither truly matte nor truly glowy,- no oxidizing during the day (after the initial darkening),- fragrance-free and smell-free,- generous amount (15 g) for a tiny price.CONS :- doesn't control shine that well (but I don't care, let's see the comments),- darkens upon initial contact with moisture or oil (but doesn't darken further),- very powdery in the pan,- no storing compartment for the puff,- no refill.COMMENTS :Holy shit !!!! This is by far the best pressed setting powder I've ever worn.This is a truly translucent powder that sets the foundation so smoothly it looks like skin, just skin.The powder is very powdery upon contact, so instead of poking the pan with a brush, I prefer using a puff that I just ever so slightly swirl on the powder.Upon application, the powder may appear whitish and very powdery, especially if (like I do) a lot of powder is used. But don't worry, just brush off the excess with a fan brush, slightly buff the remaining powder with a denser brush, and the whitish powdery finish will vanish and let a semi-matte finish that just looks like healthy skin, with a hint of non-shimmery glow, and feels amazingly silky to the touch.To counteract any white cast, this powder contains a tiny amount of pigments. As soon as the skin natural fluids drench the powder (a setting spray can also do the same), these pigments darkens slightly and the non-colored particles in the powder, like talc, starch or mica, become more transparent.Due to its natural finish, this powder does not control shine very well, so I still have to blot with papers.But, honestly, I don't care this lack of oil control : the finish is so gorgeous on the skin, I freaking LOVE IT ♥♥♥

Great value for money, great colour and coverage

This is a really nice, silky face powder that goes on nicely and doesn't cake on the skin. I've got the Ivory shade and it's the perfect, accurate shade and doesn't turn orange on the skin, unlike many other face powders, even far more expensive ones. The coverageis fairly light and sheer (much better than heavy, cake'y powders!) and I do need to reapply fairly frequently but that's okay with me. I'm also happy that this brand are cruelty free. So, what's not to love? Good product, good price and no animals suffering cruel 'tests' to create this. 😀

Great product

this powder is very good for the price

Brought to wear at my sons wedding great stuff

Favourite powder. Great coverage. Feels velvety smooth, perfect for someone with a face full of freckles like myself. Also can't beat the price.

When my regular powder ran out, I decided to look for a new one on here since I don't want to face going into town, just for a few cosmetics.This one had good reviews so I decided to try it as the price is reasonable, so even if it turned out to be rubbish, it wouldn't be lots of money down the drain.I am actually very impressed. For the price this is as good as some of the higher end powders I've tried. I have used it over foundation & it works well - that's just not my day to day makeup routine since I am fortunate enough not to need a lot of coverage so I don't tend to bother with foundation much, sometimes a tinted moisturiser if I look a little washed out. So I wanted something that was natural enough not to make me look orangey, but just enough to give a sheer coverage & prevent shine from my daily moisturiser.This does make me look a little pale if I use a lot of it, but thankfully I don't need much since a little goes a long way. I just literally dab my kabuki brush on the powder & then sweep it over my face & it does a good job of mattifying without looking overly powdery.It will last ages since I don't need much at all, and it lasts most of the day as well. I rarely touch it up, only doing so if I am going out somewhere & just want to freshen up a little.Very happy with this product so will happily buy again. 5 stars, recommended.
