Good for some things
Coty has a lot of mixed reviews for this. Some people swear by it. I'll say it's good for maybe 2 things:
- If your foundation is just a little bit too dark or has a very noticeable red or yellow undertone this powder can help even that out and make the foundation look more natural.
- If you 'bake' (do people still do that?) or need a under eye setting powder that provides a little more coverage then this works for that.
Otherwise, I would not advise using this powder all over your face. Especially if you are a person of color. This is NOT fully translucent. It has a lightness/whiteness to it and if you use this all over as a setting powder you will likely look a little ghostly and pale. I'm black and I only use this all over when I have a foundation that's a little too deep in color or looks a little too red on me otherwise it makes my foundation look WAY too light and I look pale.
Don't get me wrong, it's a very good quality powder (and it smells really good). It's just very dense and fine. I sometimes mix this with a tinted setting powder to make the other powder easier to blend because the consistency of the Coty powder is very blendable and smooth. It also leaves a very nice matte, air brushed finish. It's not a powder you just want to pile on all over your face though, it's heavy. But how and what you use it for will depend on how much you like it. It's definitely not for everyone.
