CONS:
* KATE is not yet available here in Cebu city.
* coverage is sheer so it does not cover pimple marks etc. At first I was expecting a medium-full coverage coz this is labelled as a "Powder Foundation".
TIPS:
* use the protective plastic sheet as barrier to prevent the sponge from contaminating the powder foundation.
* always wash the sponge to avoid breakouts. I'm using Joy anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid for my powder puffs, sponges and brushes.
* you can also use a kabuki brush to apply this powder to set foundation/bb cream.

I RECOMMEND THIS TO:
Mineral makeup lovers or anyone who wants a sheer coverage powder. I think this suits ladies with dry, normal or combination skintypes.
OVERALL:
I love the oil control and how natural it looks but I need a medium coverage powder to cover my pimple marks. (see pic below)

See how sheer the coverage is?!
It evens out my skintone but my pimple marks are still visible.
I broke out really bad this past few weeks *sad*
Till next time,

Love the compact too :D sucks about the coverage :(
great review ^^
My HG powder foundation at the moment is from Kanebo though it's Coffret D'Or. But I have my eyes set on this foundation from Kate since it's cheaper and still, it's from Kanebo. Nice review, Kim. Made me want to try this even more. :)
my skin has also been breaking out. :/ maybe this will work better when your skin starts to clear out again dear!
Wow. Php 900 is not bad. I like sheer coverage too. I'm considering this.
Agree on the Sheer Coverage, isa lang nga ang zit ko that time di pa din na cover! BUT! in fairness to this product, I super LOVE the natural and super "healthy skin" look it exudes (if you have clear skin) Super love this as a setting powder on top of my liquid foundie!
awww, i like a powder foundation with medium coverage too. maybe, i'll try this also as a setting powder... :) thanks for the review :)
This will probably work great for people with clear skin. but I need coverage. Awesome review sis!
love the packaging! i'm a new follower, just wanna say i love the title! (to your blog) so pretty! x
another one to try... nice review sis khim! :)
Great review! Although coverage is quite important for me so I guess I won't be using this one any time soon. :P
