Thhe brush is very dense and soft and didn't dosturb my base makeup while buffing the contour in. I highly recommend....Great formula, easy to buff out (there is a buff brush on the bottom of the stick so that’s convenient) and the light medium worked as a cooler toned shade for my fair-light skin tone.

I stamp it on my cheekbones and jawline, and I continue to stamp in - the traditional cream contour swiping buffing motion does not work with this product - the gel texture just pills up. ...I put little dots or thin lines where I need definition and a jawline, then use a sponge to buff and blend.

The pigment has a big payoff without being overwhelming, very beginning friendly as you can buff away the color of you apply too much.

Puff Makeup
“It also feels luxurious! The powder puff stays in the container. One puff was all I needed to matify my face”
Brightening Makeup
“I found the shade to be a great fit and found that it did a good job at brightening without settling into fine lines. Since it is a light coverage concealer I did not find it to the greatest job at concealing a breakout; it is best for brightening and did not cause any adverse reactions to my sensitive combination skin”
Touch Up Makeup
“The packaging is beautiful and feels so luxury, and looks beautiful on my makeup display 😍 Definitely a must buy”
Refreshing Makeup
“I also really liked putting it on midday to refresh my makeup”
Buff Foundation
“Also using a sponge makes the blurring effect much more effective than using a brush and not having the buff the powder into the skin. It sets foundation giving a smooth and matte/skin like finish and although it has a "sheen" its not noticeable on the skin and isn't "luminous" at all”
Brightener Makeup
“This is my favourite eye brightener. I have very oily skin and quite a few creases under my eye and this product lasts for hours”
Soothing Makeup
“It’s infused with blue lotus to moisturize your skin and chamomile to help calm redness and soothe skin. There are a whopping 36 shades, so anyone can find their perfect match”
Healthy Makeup
“It's nice as a prep spray but it does NOT do well as a setting spray. Did not set my makeup at all”
Skin Blurring Makeup
“Wow 10 stars gives your skin that perfect luminosity. I purchased a mini and soon I’ll be purchasing a full format”
Soft Makeup
“I'm obsessed with this powder - I apply it as a final step over my makeup and it leaves my skin looking so soft, blurred, and glowy”
