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.

"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 like smooth everything out."

"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."
