What the gurus are saying

This translucent powder earns praise for setting makeup and controlling shine, though the formula can cast a gray tone under the eyes without a light hand. A small blending brush for gentle dusting around the eyes helps prevent this. Those who prefer not to risk the gray cast may find warmer powder shades work better.

"I try not to use a lot because I don't want to look too matte. I wish she didn't use the translucent one because that can cast a gray tone under your eyes if you're not careful with how you're applying it. If she had put it on like kind of dusted it on with a small blending brush and just kind of lightly dust it over the under eye it would have been okay, but she would really benefit from a different tone in the Nars powders. They have some beautiful golden shades it would be so much better under her eyes."
