“Fenty has the best color selection and the longwear powder foundation is perfect, definitely lasts a long time, covers well, and is never cakey or heavy”
Powder Hair Products
“Best grey hair cover up I’ve used. Even better than the Bumble Brownish Hair Powder spray (stained a T-shirt while spraying and gets ALL over your fingers if you touch your hair). ”
Pink Powders
“I have dry skin that can sometimes look cakey with certain powders, but not with this one ! It has such a pretty pink tone that brightens and definitely has a radiance factor to it, it’s also super thin and not heavy”
Pressed Powder Cosmetics
“Love this pressed powder. Gives my face a fresh look without looking like I have much make up on and since it is a pressed powder it is not messy like most loose powders”
Powder Primers
“The price of the full size is in line with other primers but I think it will last a long time. I recommend you try this primer if you're not currently happy with the one you're using now”
Dusting Powders
“[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This setting powder is absolutely fantastic. The name is spot-on—it’s superfine and completely weightless, making it perfect for baking or just a light dusting”
Loose Powder Brushes
“This brush is really soft! I found the different size of brushes being really useful and now I can use the smaller brush to set loose powder precisely around my nose. the reason why it's a 4star instead of 5star, is that I have a hard time storing this brush, dont wanna put it in the regular brush jar and have either side of the brush faced down and smashed”

“It applies powder bronzer like a dream, I have used it with Fenty, Laura Mercier, Too faced, Sisely, hourglass and Armani bronzers and it works beautifully”
