This powder is great. i use this after i have applied my liquid foundation and if i just want a light setting powder this does not cause your face to be white like the powder i know some people see the color and think it will but it will NOT that is the reason they call it transparent! i like this because it gives my face a silky finish. i also do apply every now and then if i see my face getting a bit shiny. just a little goes along way tho. i recommend to everyone!
