PROS:
* unscented
* with SPF 16
* offers light to medium buildable coverage yet feels so lightweight on my skin.
* my skin looks luminous whenever I use this (see swatch below)* no whitish cast on photos
* no allergies/breakouts
* does not look cakey even with frequent retouching
* non-messy- i love that the sifter lid can be closed.
* powder glides easily when applied
CONS:* packaging is bulky to carry
* the free kabuki brush is scratchy
* may accentuate dry patches so don't forget to apply moisturiser first.
* so-so oil control, my t-zone starts looking shiny 2-3 hours after application.
TIPS:
* this powder can be used alone to even out your skintone or to set your liquid foundation.
* always use blotting sheets to absorb oil before applying powder to prevent caking.
* I always use a brush with my loose/pressed powder when retouching coz it looks natural than piling powder with a puff/sponge (and its hygenic too!).
* i threw the free brush and replaced it with my Ecotools Kabuki brush. Good thing it fits!
OVERALL:
I've been breaking out lately and this powder is the answer to my woes. Its good for acne-prone skin because its mild, unscented and talc-free.
