Clarifying Pressed Powder

MEH!

There's nothing really too special about this product. The good thing is it doesn't end up looking really flaky on your skin, even if you put on a bit too much. It has a nice consistency, and you easily pick up a lot of product with your powder brush (maybe a bit too much, might not last you long if you love this product). In general it is a decent pressed powder, but nothing too great or special. It has salicylic acid in it to help prevent acne, I have had this product for some months and I have yet to experience this product fight my acne, or even help it. That being said, I don't believe it has made me break out, I have acne prone skin, but this powder does not seem to trigger any break outs on my part. One thing that annoyed me was that they don't really have this product in that many shades, so it doesn't have a wide range of colours that you can mix and match with. Heck, you might not find this powder in your shade, I didn't. I bought Ivory, thinking this was the whitest (I am naturally pale), but instead of receiving an "Ivory" colour (honestly feel like that's a misuse of the word), I got a powder that had a more "natural" colour to it, with yellow undertones. It is this yellow undertone to the "ivory" colour that annoys me the most, it will not look good on a pale woman with rosy/pink undertones. Therefore, I use this product sparingly, using it only to set my foundation and make my skin look less oily. If used only a little, it won't look too yellow. Average product, not many shades to choose from, will probably not repurchase, unless I end up homeless and that is the only powder I will afford.
