What they liked

  • Mattifies and evens tone over tinted sunscreen
  • Pressed compact format, long-lasting

What they flagged

  • Limited shade range
  • Shade matching unclear for deeper skin tones

What the gurus are saying

One expert found it genuinely useful for mattifying and evening tone when layered over tinted sunscreen, and repurchased it repeatedly. However, another felt the shade range fell short, with only a handful of options that don't match deeper skin tones well. The lightweight texture works for some, but the limited shade selection may not suit everyone.

"Another face product that I love is this finishing powder from Too Faced. This is their Born This Way Soft Blur Flexible Finish Setting Powder and I have it in the shade medium. I just bought a new one of these because I had a hit pan and used up my old one. This is just a great little tinted powder and I just dust it on over any shiny sunscreen and it just takes down the shine, mattifies."

SPRING Sephora SALE! Top Picks for Mature Skin!
"This is a pressed powder and it comes in a compact and it comes in shades so I wear it in the shade medium and as you can see I hit pan on it. I don't use this as my setting powder when I have on makeup because for me this is much heavier than the Tarte. What I use this for is adding a little bit of extra coverage and mattifying down my sunscreen. I tend to use tinted mineral sunscreens and they tend to be a little bit heavier a little bit shinier and they definitely accentuate all my pores and texture. So I need a powder to put over them. It evens out my skin tone, it takes away my redness, it mattifies my skin so it takes away my pores and texture and I've hit pan on it and I will definitely be buying a new one of these in the Sephora sale."

"I have on the Dermatology physical tinted with the Too Faced Born This Way Soft Blur powder in medium, these two, this combo, oh my gosh, like my pores are gone, all my texture is gone. This blurring powder is so good."

"I know this is a really lightweight powder. And yes, there are some extremely lightweight powders where in the shade range there's maybe five, six, but this still isn't great. These two could be the same. There needs to be more here. I don't like that shade range really. And these other shades that says it fits on, I'm looking at this bottom one here and then looking at the model on the end here with the deeper skin tone. I just can't imagine that looking any way good on her. And then same with this here, this shade with this person on the end. Not really a fan of that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
