I like the high perfume smell . Feels like glamorous putting it on with a vintage powder puff or large brush

5.0 out of 5 stars for a natural everyday beat

Wonderful face powder which mattifies makeup without cakey-ness. Leaves the skin with a soft satin like finish which allows for skin glow to shine through. Isn’t the MOST long lasting of all the powders i’ve tried and definitely needs touch ups if you have oily skin but since this powder doesn’t separate throughout the day this is very achievable. One of these tubs has lasted me for almost a year so it’s great value for money. I’ve not had any issue with flashback either. Great for everyday use.

So when i buy a new make up product i normally try it out on a day where im not at work just to test how it holds out... but i couldnt wait and i tried it on tonight ( i havent left it on long enough to see if it helps keep my oily skin at bay but i will come back at weekend and review on how well its held up etc ) basically i put on my foundation and then applied the powder with the puff i then sweeped away the excessed and buffed it with a big make up brush and i was amazed to see how my pores were vanished and fine lines had gone and no bumpy cakey skin and left a soft smooth silky finish... (i will also test this at weekend because many of times iv applied my make up checked my mirror and thought dang girl you look flawless ! iv then stepped outside the house and checked my make up in mirror and its a different story where i have pores galore and my face looking like a grannies fanny so lets see if this powder gets rid of these blemishes like it says inside or outside the house!) I will admit there is a strong perfumed scent to the product ...but... i love it .... and once on your face you cannot smell it which too be honest im quite sad about ... delivery was quick and the item came with protective covering which is important to me. I also didnt get the extra coverage one as i think how can a fine milled powder be extra coverage and secondly i like my make up to look natural as much as possible i feel the extra coverage if it did tht would make your face look too cakey... and too doll like as this powder to me gives a very good coverage over all (non extra coverage one) and too be honest the more make up u pile on the more your blemishes will pop out the more creases and mre visible pores believe it or not ... less is more ..xx i will be back at weekend to review again lol see if my review is still a happy one lol i just wanted to show my excitement at how well my first application went in a very long essay review haha x tata bubbye now ( so saturday i have worn the powder over my normal make up ... 9hrs no touchups and it has stayed on really well ..tint bit of oilyness around my usual areas but not even as much as what id normally get by now my make up would be sliding off my face .... so this had dne really well will be buying again) does oxidise a little bit bt not where your really orange it actually got better once oxidise when u first put it on its very pale looking but then once oxidise looks mre natural x

5.0 out of 5 stars Best powder I’ve ever used!!

Probably the best powder I ever used. It lasts ages as the container is actually very big. Very happy with the product.

Won't use anything else, used it to even put skin tone when I can't be bothered wearing foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Gorgeous!

M. · 18 September 2016

I bought this based on the previous reviews. I wasn't expecting it to live up to the high levels of praise that I've read but being translucent and having extremely fair skin, I decided to give it a try. I've been using it for nearly a week now and I absolutely love it!First of all, the smell. There was a lot of talk about the fragrance of this product so I was slightly nervous because it seemed to really split the crowd. From some of the reviews I'd read about how it smelled like your favourite granny, I was half expecting it to smell like a Monday morning post office queue, but the smell is actually gorgeous. It has very traditional talcum powder smell which is very nostalgic and I personally love it. But the smell vanishes within 90 seconds after application so even if you don't really like the smell, it soon goes. Now I was concerned about using a product that had a strong fragrance because I have a lot of random allergic reactions to cosmetics, which result in my eyes streaming for hours at a time. But this product doesn't make me react at all so if you do have sensitive skin, it should be fine for you.The powder itself is extremely light. I personally prefer to apply it with a brush but it comes with a powder puff if you prefer. When I read the comments about it making your skin glow, I was concerned that it would make me look like those Instagram girls who look like they've had an incident with the contents of an Etch-a-Sketch. It does give your skin a luminous glow, but not in the way a highlighting product does. It's really hard to describe, but my skin looks illuminated and slightly airbrushed. I am in my 40s so I have a fair few wrinkles, but this doesn't sink into them like many powdered products do. It just makes me look really healthy, whether used alone or on top of foundation.I am currently having a fun time with menopausal symptoms and hot flushes. There isn't anything in existence that keep my face from getting a bit shiny by the end of the day but this product does the best job of anything that I've used in recent years. I do have to touch up the T-zone by the end of the day, but the rest of my face stays put and looks just as healthy after several hours of wear.I've never previously had a favourite face powder product; they all seem to be lacking in some aspect. But I am seriously in love with this one. I really hope that they don't ever stop making it, because I doubt I will ever use another face powder product again now that I've found this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great powder but packaging faulty

T. · 7 April 2025

I have used this powder before and is a great powder, however the packaging is faulty. This I the second one of these that I have ordered that the lid has fallen off and powder has gone all over me and my floor. This is a lot of wastage as well as damaging my carpets

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultra fine powder.

J. · 30 December 2024

I love this powder. This must be about the 4th lot I have had. It is ultra fine texture and really does smooth out pores to give a smooth finish to your skin, it sets foundation for a natural look but never looks cakey. The translucent colour suits my skin tone. I have tried others but this is by far the best. Would recommend.
