What the gurus are saying
This powder earns consistent praise for being virtually undetectable and smoothing on the skin, with experts noting its lightweight feel makes it ideal for a sheer, buffed finish rather than full coverage. One reviewer found it struggled to control shine on oily areas when used as a heavy setting powder, though she later switched to it and preferred it for setting concealer under the eyes. Gurus suggest using a fluffy brush and applying it lightly rather than packing it on for the best results.
