I have to say that this is my favorite powder compact ever. It's small, translucent, and perfect at setting dewy and matte foundations and cushions without leaving the skin appearing dry, chalky and flaky. The sebum-controlling power of this little powerhouse is magnificent--I hardly ever have to touch up my makeup after applying this before I go out, and I have pretty oily skin during the summer months. It also sets my concealer perfectly which I love because I have those pesky under-eye wrinkles that makeup loves to settle into.
There is no scent and the puff is so soft, I can't even begin to describe it. If you're into dewy makeup, the good thing about this powder is that it sets matte, but eventually sets with your natural oils and reveals a natural, dewy complexion after a while. But if waiting isn't your thing or you have dry skin, I recommend applying a mist afterwards.
For those with a pale/bone complexion and have a hard time finding BB creams and foundations that perfectly match your skin tone, I also recommend this pact. I'm a NW10/NC15 depending on the time of year, and for those bases that I've used that have been a little "too yellow/pink" to use on their own, this mineral powder does an excellent job at neutralizing the tone. I have no idea how it works... but it does, and I'm thankful. Now I can try and use those bb creams without feeling like I wasted my money, haha.
I do want to try the loose-powder version though. Just thought this pact would be more convenient since I don't have to worry about it exploding all over my bag. But seeing as I don't need to do touch-ups after using this... I'll definitely be giving the loose powder a try next time.
