facetheory Loose Powder - Talc Free Matte Translucent Powder, Powder Foundation, Loose Setting Powder Blurs Out Pores and Imperfections, Vegan and Cruelty-Free | 0.3 fl oz

Bought after watching KeKe palmers HBO max Deadly Makeup series. I like that this powder has no mica or harmful pesticides, nothing bad in this at all. So therefore a good alternative to poison makeup. However it’s a little sheer for me, I have really oily olive skin and it didn’t last very long. But still a good powder to try, can save a life!

It's what I was looking for and price was okay.

This comes in an outer product box. It’s made in the UK. It is talc free, cruelty free, and vegan.This has a very simple ingredient list - Corn starch modified, distarch phosphate, silica. I liked that.It comes in simple packaging - It says it is sustainable packaging. It is an amber colored glass bottom (at least it seems like glass). It is thick, so seems durable. The top seems like tin. Mine was dented when I got it. Not sure how but it just came that way. The top twists off. Inside there is a plastic piece with 4 holes in it. There’s a sticker covering the holes that you remove. I like that it only has 4 holes. Loose powders can be so messy and I store mine in a drawer, but sometimes they get knocked over in the drawer and the powder goes into the cap and when I remove the cap I have to be careful not to get it everywhere. Because of that, I’ll usually only uncover like 3 of the holes on a loose powder. It means less powder getting out into the cap if it tips over. But, with this only having 4 holes I didn’t feel the need to do that.The powder is finely milled. It feels silky and smooth. It is white. It goes on mostly transparent. I’m really pale and was surprised that this made me look a little paler when I first applied it. I ended up going over where I applied the powder with a clean brush to get any excess off and that removed the pale look. So, the next time I used it, I used a damp sponge. I picked some up on the sponge, dabbed it off on the back of my hand to spread out the powder and get off excess, and then pressed it into my skin. That worked much better. It left my makeup set and smooth, without looking pale at all. It doesn’t feel or look dry or cakey. It gives a nice smooth, matte finish to the skin, but not too matte. I have normal to dry skin, more on the dry side with some extremely dry areas. So, I only powder where I have to. This doesn’t make my dry areas look or feel any drier and doesn’t accentuate them either.Overall, I really like this powder. It keeps my makeup looking nice all day. I don’t have breakthrough sweat or oils coming through it. I work 12 hour shifts and I’m on my feet running around for a lot of that time, so I often sweat. A lot of powders I’ll end up sweating through and needing to touch up throughout the day. I didn’t feel the need to do that with this. I really like it a lot. When I first saw how pale it made me after applying it the first time, I thought I was going to end up hating this. But, I’m glad I dusted off the excess and tried a different way of applying it the next time. Both ways work, but the damp sponge definitely is the best way I found for me. If you’re looking for a really nice powder, I’d recommend this!

My wife has used the loose powder. She says that she likes it. It is light weight and helps set makeup. It helps a lot when it is hot and she is putting on make up to help cut down on moisture. It does leave a whiter finish so she doesn't think it would work for darker skin. My wife has sensitive skin and this powder has worked really well for her without reactions.

This powder performs really well! It applied to my face easily, set my makeup well, and even after a full day of active cleaning and household chores my makeup is still set and matte. This also makes my skin feel super smooth, and I really enjoy that aspect of it.The packaging is really nice too. I love the lid - lots of other face powders have a screw-on lid, but this one feels much more secure than the plastic ones that many other companies use.The only complaint I have with this product is that it does make me look a bit pale or ghostly under flash or harsh light - this isn't a huge deal for me since I'm already a very pale person, but it could be a bigger issue for you if you have tan or dark skin.All in all though I really like the performance and feeling of this powder, and as long as you are okay with it looking a bit white under bright light I would recommend it.

NOOOO DO NOT USE THIS. USE PHYSICIANS FORMULA INSTEAD. THIS POWDER IS LIKE BAKING POWDER—and NOT the sorta baking you want on your face

For reference, I have combination skin that is very picky. I struggle with breakouts, dry skin, and redness.This is a great setting powder. I tend to do my skin care routine and then do a very LIGHT dusting of this product before applying my foundation. This I put on my foundation, blush, and contour, and then apply the setting spray. I then finish with another SMALL dusting of this product using my moist beauty blender. The trick is to use a very small amount for a pore-less look.

This powder is actually pretty nice. I like how it performs on a full make up look.It didnt look white after it sets, it didnt make it cakey it actually helps with make up transfer and it doesnt have fragance.--> For reference my skin is medium warm, oily complexion and pretty sensitive.To make it look GORGEOUS:- Apply your foundation as usual, then spray make up fixer all over and then apply the loose powder WITH a damp sponge. This way you will get that air-brushed-pore-less skin texture.I have also applied it with a fan brush and it looks nice, it removes the shine and sets the make up, but it doesnt look as amazing as with the other technique.Now, be CAREFUL if you have sensitive skin: It irritates my skin when I apply it on without make up.I have used it just with moisturizer on and it makes my cheeks burn a little and they get reddish, but this doesn't happen when Im wearing foundation.Nevertheless, Im gonna keep using it because I like the performance and the fact that it's talc free and plastic free.So I definitely recommend it!

I love it it blends in and cover very well BUT it does have a ''ghost'' effect. If u love suntanned shimmery looks u need to add further products like blush and bronzer

If you have enlarged pores, oily skin or just need a powder that stays on all day then this is a product for you - so impressed with this powderWorks so well on my skin that I no longer need to use a primer - will absolutely be buying again

With all the best will in the world there’s always a little smudge of mascara or eyeliner later in the day. I started using a little above my eye and under my eyebrow and it works fantastically! No more late day smudges.

Only tried a tiny amount with just getting today quite dissapointed that it wasnt a full pot and paid ova £13 for it normally buy cheaper product from a shop that has more in waste of money only opened today and quite shocked there was hardly any in was more like a used product than new bad

I found this product to be exactly what I wanted - no negatives!
