What the gurus are saying

This translucent powder looks nearly invisible in the pan but applies with visible brightness on skin and works well for smoothing the appearance of larger pores. Reviewers split on its necessity for skincare: some genuinely appreciate these effects, while others question whether it's truly essential or simply a makeup product, especially for younger skin.

"I don't generally love a pressed powder, but I'm going to be using it because that's what I have. So I may just go in just around the nose and maybe a little under the eye if I need it just to get rid of the shine. [...] This does have a bit of color in it, so it can actually help on that front, too. [...] It's just enough to make me look put together. It's not wild, but I don't do a lot of wild makeup. It makes me look healthy, and it just makes me feel put together."

"My Light Beige is supposed to be a light medium with a neutral peach undertone. Since I have normal to dry skin, I don't tend to need a lot of powders and don't get shiny throughout the day, however I do like to sometimes just use a little bit underneath the eyes to set it. I take a tiny bit and just put it right there in case anything starts to move and just to set a little bit, and I think that's really nice. I'm kind of obsessed with this."

"I'm personally not a finishing powder kind of person but what I like about it is I kind of feel like it helps to blend everything together, so like the color variations throughout the face. It's not [...] necessary but I do feel like it adds this really nice soft smooth transition between everything. The powder itself is supposed to be very light reflective but soft and blurring, so it just adds a little extra."

Oh yes yes yes…I like these
"It did create like a little bit of a smoothing situation but I don't know, I just feel like I can kind of do without it. The formula seems nice, I guess, but like finishing powders in general just don't really appeal to me. It was just a little bit dark for underneath my eyes. I think it's fine, but it feels a little unnecessary."

"I like Rare Beauty, but these are more makeup products, [...] probably not necessary for a tween, and it's definitely influenced because she couldn't even pronounce them."

"We're going to take that Rare Beauty powder. This is in the shade Opal, which is the lightest shade. It literally looks like paper in the pan, but it doesn't go on that light on the skin. It definitely brightens me though, which I like. So we're going to take this in the areas that I have larger pores just to smooth everything out. This is my greatest hack of my life is to apply powder after setting spray for truly airbrushed but still natural looking skin."

Foolproof Date Night Makeup That Feels Like YOU
"I'm going to take a bit of this Rare Beauty pressed powder. It's a tinted finishing powder in the shade Opal, which is like a really nice brightening shade, and I'm going to use this to kind of brighten up this area right here underneath my eye."
What I'd Genuinely Buy YOU at Sephora Right Now
"It's beautiful. I love this to touch up. It really smooths the pores. The packaging is cute. And this shade specifically does add a hint of brightness, which I love, especially for just like refreshing my makeup. If I'm like midday and my makeup looks a little blah, and I know I need to touch it up with powder, but also I want a hint of coverage and brightness, this is what I reach for."

The Products That Actually Stuck (Mostly Drugstore!) 🤍
"It is so nice. I love using this after I use my setting spray and I'll just kind of buff this underneath the eyes because it actually does add a bit of brightness and smoothing. It is so beautiful. [...] I've been using it like crazy, especially right now during the winter when I am kind of playing up my paleness. I'm trying to just look healthy but also natural, and so it's come in handy for those situations."
Can I do it?! Trying Selena's Makeup from the VMAs..
"I'm going to use the setting powder in the shade light. I'm going to press this into the skin with a brush. I'm going a little bit more light-handed with my complexion today just so that it looks really fresh, so that it would look really good, you know, say you were on a red carpet getting HD photos taken of you, just using that to mainly set the center of the face."
Testing the NEW Rare Beauty Pressed Powder 😱
"I think it's a good powder. I would give it like an 8 out of 10 for the formula. I feel like it's really user friendly, but I feel like I had to knock off a couple points for myself just because the color. I wish it just matched me a little better and I wish it was a little more pink. It's definitely more on the warm side even though it claims to be a neutral undertone with this shade. It's definitely more warm, especially once it applies."
What I Recently Bought at Sephora (and trying it!!)
"And having lighter options now is so great for us fair skin gals. [...] It looks almost white in the pan, but when it touches the skin, for some reason, it just like gets deeper. [...] It blurred the skin beautifully. [...] I like never really enjoyed the powder because the color match was so off, but so many people did, and I think it was genuinely because they were able to find a shade where I wasn't able to until now. The blurring powder looks so nice."
My Easy, Everyday Winter Makeup to Look Healthy ❄️
"I like to go in with a pressed powder afterwards. I'm going to use this Rare Beauty one. This is in the shade Opal. It's very light. It looks whiter in the pan than it actually is in real life, but I love a good pressed powder to touch up throughout the day. [...] We're just going to use that to like erase the pores a bit. Use this in the center of the face between the brows. You can kind of hopefully see how airbrushed this makes the skin."
