I purchased to use this as a bronzer because it is hard to find a nice bronzer for my medium dark skin tone with regular bronzers so I use deep face powders instead. It has way too much fall out.

Powder Foundations
“With a bit of foundation under the bit of dark spots and under dark circles this powder is great for a flawless finish. * This product is a bit pricey but it is well worth my money because it lasts me about three months and it stays on long and doesn't do any damage to my face like most pore clogging cake looking foundations and powders”
Luxury Powders
“With all that said, you get half the amount of product at double the price of other clean beauty powders out there that performs similarly so this is truly a luxury item”
Pink Powders
“Wow! I’ve tried many powders but this one works super well for me! Although it’s advertised as a pink powder it’s def not super pink so if that something you’re looking for keep that in mind”
Natural Powders
“Just a great smooth setting powder. Very nice natural coverage”
Pressed Face Powder
“This is the only pressed setting powder that I use now. i have five different loose powders that I cycle through, but this is the only pressed powder that I own. i have it in a full size and two minis, one mini from my car and one for touch ups. i can only thank the Japanese girls on TikTok who are raving about this powder”
Top Powders
“Although in the future I will purchase a slight darker shade, the quality of this silky powder blush is top knotch”
White Makeup Powders
“Great setting powder for all skin types - goes on very smoothly and doesn't leave a white tone like a lot of setting powders seem to do”
Highlighter Compact Powder
“I use it on my eyes and it helps my shadow stick better and I place it on my cheekbones and it stays all day and isn’t drying or cakey like powders are sometimes. I’d def recommend. And these little compacts they comet in are so cute and stackable”
Powder Brushes
“This brush works so nicely with the new Rare Beauty powder - I imagine it’d also work great with other loose powders (may not be stiff enough for compact powder”
Styling Powders
“I expected a lot more glam and respect (for the product) from GUCCI (who knows a thing or two about packaging and style), especially with this price tag”
