One day while working on a photoshoot doing makeup, mine fell and was ruined on the beach. ...I like to use it as the last step for face makeup & then set with setting spray. I am so happy with this product.

The powders deliver a multidimensional luminescence to every skin tone, making it appear softer and lit from within.
